The case for collateral tokenisation - webinar

Tokenised collateral is gaining momentum across the industry.

During the session, Adrian Dale (ISLA), Amy Caruso (ISDA), Steve Everett (ISSA), Sophie Marnhier-Foy (Nasdaq), and Barnaby Nelson (The ValueExchange) discussed:

The USD 360 million ROI business case for tokenised collateral
Why automation foundations must come first

Making the case for tokenised collateral

By 2026, 52% of global financial institutions expect to manage tokenised collateral, unlocking significant operational efficiencies and earnings potential.

Our report, "Making the Case for Tokenised Collateral," created in partnership with Nasdaq, explores:

USD 74 billion – the average collateral amount managed per firm
25% collateral doesn’t earn anything – overnight not remunerated, or additional collateral for buffering
How tokenisation can reduce operational costs by 12% and improve collateral utilisation by 3%
How unlocking trapped capital with tokenisation can increase earnings up to USD 340 million for tier 1 firms
The legal, regulatory, and technological dependencies for adoption
The critical milestones ahead for tokenised collateral in 2026

Our latest research looks at one of the big themes of the day – digital money

Digital Assets and Digital Money in 2026 is a new benchmarking survey to help firms understand how their digital money plans compare with their peers.

This includes where and how stablecoins, tokenized deposits and other mechanisms play a role and why.

Where firms are along the adoption curve

Which use cases are being prioritised for 2026
How business cases are forming around liquidity, settlement and treasury
The risks, barriers, and regulatory factors influencing investment decisions

From operational friction to digital efficiency

Tokenised collateral is moving from theory to practice - and firms are now quantifying its impact on liquidity, operations and balance sheet efficiency:

Up to USD 74bn in collateral managed by the average firm across activities.
25% of collateral is excess or not remunerated, costing over USD 2bn per year.
Operational processes account for up to 57% of total trade costs, with delivery issues across as many as 65 locations.
Firms over-post collateral by an average of 6% due to settlement uncertainty.
Tokenisation could cut fails by more than 13% and significantly reduce overnight funding costs.
USD 340m in annual savings expected for Tier 1 firms through improved mobilisation and reduced over-provisioning.
52% of respondents plan to go live by 2026, reflecting accelerating adoption across collateral, repo, derivatives and treasury functions.
