This report explores the emergence of a new age in investing, ushered in by distributed ledger technology. As well as the creation of an entirely new class of investible assets in the crypto-space, DLT is beginning to revolutionise the way we interact with traditional securities and money itself.

In this report, OMFIF explores the opportunities that tokenisation holds for investors, unlocking new functionality and new audiences for some of the oldest and most well-established asset classes, including commodities, real estate and private credit. We also assess current and expected levels of interest from different investor groups, including asset owners, asset managers and family offices.

A new technological format for investment brings with it new challenges, and requires careful investment in new infrastructure. The OMFIF report indicates that the promise of tokenisation for 24/7 trading, collateral mobilisation and broader global appeal will amply repay the effort.
