Tokenovate Founder and CEO Richard Baker recently participated in a panel hosted by the Digital Pound Foundation, held at Clifford Chance, and moderated by Jannah Patchay, discussing the theme: "Driving sustainability through digital financial transformation". Alongside Devina Paul of Zumo, Victoria Thompson of Orora, and Kikun Alo of Clifford Chance, the the conversation covered several aspects of the E, S and the G, and how emerging technologies can accelerate sustainable development. While significant challenges remain, particularly in the harmonisation of standards and definitions, solid progress is being made in several areas, including automation, risk assessment, reporting, and regulatory compliance. At Tokenovate, we are committed to advancing the transformation of VCCs into transparent, efficient, and reliable market infrastructure by: ✅ Actively participating in global advocacy and policy-making, ✅ Supporting the creation of a meta-register, and ✅ Designing a token standard for seamless tracking and trading of tokenised VCCs. Through these initiatives and innovations, our aim is to foster greater market confidence and efficiency, creating a more robust carbon market and accelerating the global transition to net zero.

It's been a busy week for Team Tokenovate. Part of our ethos is to engage with the ecosystem, and collaborate across sectors to drive positive change. Tokenovate Founder and CEO Richard Baker presented at an Impact event organised by Helen Disney of Unblocked and Laura Clatworthy of Rosenblatt, our Chief Legal & Product Officer Ciarán McGonagle participated at a selection of in-depth roundtables at the RegTech Forum, our Chief Commercial Officer Stephen Ashworth joined the Calastone Connect Forum, and our Chief Communications & Marketing Officer Gunnar Larsén attended the Tokenisation event organised by Future of Finance (FOF). There is a clear momentum building in capital markets around adapting and adopting future financial market infrastructure. Tokenisation of assets - digital or real-world - is only one aspect of that progress. We are bullish about what can be achieved when you fuse economics and standards with smart technology.

Tokenovate prides itself on supporting students in their academic progression. For the second year running, we supervised two very bright UCL and UCL Computer Science Fintech master candidates in their final thesis research. This summer, we were fortunate to support Sami El Houcheimi and Nikita Lyakhovoy, who worked with Tokenovate's Stephen Ashworth, investigating how the automated market maker (AMM) concept being used in crypto and decentralised finance is generating liquidity, considering how it functions, assessing if it could run on the UTXO-based BSV Blockchain, and being used with tokenised real world assets. Both Nikita and Sami produced excellent work, culminating in output that - among other things - suggests that BSV, with its capabilities and the flexibility (provided by sCrypt), can effectively support a decentralised platform that bridges the gap between traditional financial systems and DeFi, fostering broader adoption of decentralised solutions, as well as the proposed AMM design is indeed capable of adapting to market dynamics, even under extreme conditions. Congratulations to both Sami and Nikita - and best of luck in your future careers. We'll root for you! #UCL #fintech #RWAs #UTXO #AMM #tokenisation

Would you like to see smart derivatives contracts and tokenisation in action? Tokenovate have recorded a deep-dive demo video showcasing our innovative trade lifecycle management platform, designed to reshape financial market infrastructure with decentralised technology at its core. In the video, we walk through an Interest Rate Swap use case, demonstrating how we’re building a Unified Trade Record (a "golden record") based on ISDA and FINOS CDM, how we tokenise assets for collateral management, and how we use smart contracts to automate post-trade processes. It’s a glimpse into the future of financial markets — and we’re thrilled to be leading the charge. Watch it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ermtT6zt #blockchain #tokenisation #smartcontracts #collateral

In a recent address to the International Organization of Securities Commissions - IOSCO, ISDA CEO Scott O'Malia highlighted the key opportunities and challenges facing the voluntary carbon market. He underscored the need for consistent standards, legal certainty, and transparency to build a trustworthy and efficient market that can support the global transition to net zero. Tokenovate fully supports that view, and by integrating ISDA’s established standards with our advanced technology, we want to play a collaborative and facilitative role in directing capital more effectively toward impactful carbon projects, accelerating progress toward the commitments made under the Paris Agreement, and supporting the transition to a sustainable, net-zero future.

In 2024, Tokenovate have so far organised three invite-only roundtable discussions, covering industry topics and issues that we think benefit from open and safe conversational spaces. This week, the turn came to how to navigate legal challenges of tokenised assets. Hosted by Ciarán McGonagle, and in a room with distinguished legal experts, the debate predominantly circled around: 👉 The legal frameworks for tokenised assets 👉 Tokenisation ownership 👉 The role of standards 👉 Disputes! In addition, the importance of accessible, trustworthy data, and industry-standard messaging, was raised - something which is close to our hearts. Thank you for coming (you know who you are), and if you want to be considered for any upcoming roundtables, please let us know.

An incredibly motivating, inspiring and informative #VoluntaryCarbonMarket event during #NewYorkClimateWeek hosted by The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) VCMI and Global Carbon Market Utility - I was delighted to join a private round table to kick off the day. Overall collaboration and corporation to align buy side, sell side and science base standards has made solid progress. Mark Carney reminded us of the “time” #VCM assets buy the human race whilst we undertake the hard work to decarbonise and remove our dependency on fossil fuels and lower green house gases. #CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam discussed their recent guidance to treat #VCM as a commodity future and the importance of safe and transparent markets which in turn can leverage standards and private - public markets to build liquidity. #tokenisation #isda Tokenovate #blockchain
