On-chain financial assets are digital representations of value or ownership that are natively issued, managed, and settled directly on a blockchain network. These assets can range from cryptocurrencies and stablecoins to tokenized real-world assets like equities or commodities. Their existence on a distributed ledger provides transparency, immutability, and often programmability through smart contracts. This allows for new forms of ownership and transfer mechanisms.
Context
The current conversation regarding on-chain financial assets centers on their increasing adoption by institutional investors and the changing regulatory landscape surrounding them. Debates frequently concern the legal categorization of various tokenized assets and the infrastructure required for secure institutional custody. Future trends will likely involve the tokenization of a wider array of traditional financial instruments and the creation of robust compliance solutions for these digital assets. This will further connect conventional and decentralized finance.
The Reserve Bank of India is establishing a Unified Markets Interface utilizing wholesale CBDC to achieve T+0 settlement and reduce counterparty risk in tokenized financial assets.
