Taft FinTech partner Bobby Wenner is speaking during the Next-Generation Capital Markets Infrastructure: Institutional Adoption and Market Evolution of Tokenized Securities webinar on Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. ET.

As institutional investors seek greater diversification, income, and long-term growth, demand for access to private markets and real assets continues to grow, while structural barriers can limit participation in traditionally illiquid investments. At the same time, significant financing needs across infrastructure, energy, natural resources, and other real assets are creating opportunities for capital markets to evolve. Tokenization is emerging as a potential mechanism to address some of these challenges by enabling securities and real-world assets to be issued, transferred, settled, and traded more efficiently.

As institutional adoption develops, tokenization is moving beyond experimentation toward the development of new capital-markets infrastructure and market models. This discussion will examine the strategic drivers behind tokenized securities, why institutional investors and financial-market participants are exploring the opportunity, and where the market stands today. Panelists will consider the opportunities and challenges to scaling adoption – including regulation, liquidity, interoperability, and investor participation – and explore how tokenization could shape the future of investment access, market structure, and securities trading.
