Overview

The report that HM Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion recently published sets out a comprehensive blueprint for implementing the UK Government’s Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy. It covers everything from the tokenisation of existing assets and developing digitally native asset classes to fully digitising the UK’s shareholding system to completing the move to T+1 settlement and to harnessing the power of AI/Smart Data. It reflects an understanding that we are moving to a new paradigm of how financial assets are issued, traded, cleared, and settled.

Organised by City & Financial Global in Partnership with The Dematerialisation Market Action Taskforce and the Accelerated Settlement (T+1) Taskforce Technical Group, this highly topical summit will examine the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for financial firms active in the wholesale markets and the steps that firms should be taking now in preparation for the transition to a fully digitalised market model. 

We are delighted that Chris Woolard CBE, Wholesale Digital Markets Champion, and Sasha Mills, Executive Director, Financial Market Infrastructure, Bank of England, will be giving keynote addresses.

Among the topics that the faculty of expert speakers will address are the following: 

  • Delivering the Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy 
  • Modernising Money and Markets: The Bank of England’s Vision for UK Wholesale Finance  
  • Market Optimisation: Eradicating Paper and the Road to T+1 in October 2027   
  • Market Transformation: Systemic Stablecoins  and the  Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS)
  • The Digital Gilt (DIGIT): A Catalyst for Tokenised Debt Markets 
  • Atomic Settlement and Tokenised Collateral: Clarifying UK EMIR 
  • Smart Data, AI, and the Future of Open Banking Payments 
  • Pioneering Digital Assets: Fund Tokenisation and Legal Certainty   
  • The 2030 Landscape: Market Leadership and International Coordination   

Our curated agenda helps you make the most of your time - whether you’re seeking strategic insight, sharpening skills, or building valuable connections.

  • Keynotes: Industry leaders tackling today’s biggest challenges
  • Panel discussions: Explore real-world solutions and future trends
  • Networking breaks: Connect with peers and partners
