    The Nasdaq x Seturion Alliance: A conversation with Roland Chai [EN]

    Digital assets, tokenized assets and regulated market infrastructure are becoming increasingly relevant for capital markets. In this episode of Inside Digital Assets, Host Lidia Kurt speaks with Roland Chai, President European Markets and Head of Digital Assets at Nasdaq, about tokenization, DLT and the future of financial market infrastructure. The conversation explores why the impact of tokenization may be strongest beyond trading itself: in post-trade processes, collateral management, asset servicing and the broader lifecycle of financial instruments. Roland Chai also discusses why structured products can be a practical starting point for tokenized market infrastructure, how fragmentation in European capital markets affects issuance and custody, and why interoperability and common standards are essential to avoid new digital silos. The episode also looks at developments in the US and Europe, including regulated frameworks for tokenized securities, digital-native infrastructure and the importance of connecting liquidity, transparency and price discovery across market structures. For institutional market participants, financial institutions, issuers and infrastructure providers, this episode offers a focused perspective on how tokenization is moving from experimentation towards implementation in regulated capital markets. Inside Digital Assets is going on a summer break. New episodes will be available again from September.

    Solving the Digital Islands Problem - a conversation with Frank Frank Seibold, Chainlink [EN]

    Digital assets, tokenized assets and blockchain infrastructure are becoming increasingly relevant for institutional capital markets. In this episode of Inside Digital Assets, Lidia Kurt speaks with Frank Seibold (Managing Director and Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink).

Key topics include trusted data for smart contracts, the oracle problem, interoperability between blockchain networks, real-time data, smart NAV, corporate actions, settlement and the coexistence of traditional finance and on-chain systems. Frank Seibold explains why tokenization alone is not enough. For digital assets to become relevant in capital markets, they need utility: reliable pricing, efficient settlement, interoperability and integration with existing financial infrastructure.

Ivica also discusses initiatives such as Appia and Pontes, the relevance of delivery versus payment, and why DLT-based financial instruments still need to become “first-class citizens” compared to traditional securities.

    Making the Eiffel Tower investable via DLT? A converstion with Tom Rieder (ISP Group) [EN]

    What does it take for tokenization to create real value in capital markets? In this episode of "Inside Digital Assets", host Claudio Tognella speaks with Tom Rieder (Head of Digital Assets at ISP Group), about the practical implementation of tokenization and the role of digital assets in the future of capital market infrastructure. Tom explains why tokenization should not be an end in itself. Before an asset is tokenized, issuers need to understand the business case, the rights being represented, the target investors and the concrete benefits for all parties involved. The conversation covers real-world use cases such as real estate projects, pre-IPO shares, private equity and fund structures. It also explores why tokenized assets do not automatically become liquid and why secondary markets, custody solutions, distribution channels, market makers and reliable settlement infrastructure are essential. The episode also looks at the role of regulated infrastructure providers such as BX Digital and Seturion, and why banks, brokers and custodians may be key to making tokenized securities accessible to a broader investor base. A practical conversation about tokenization, digital assets, secondary markets and the next phase of capital market infrastructure.

    Warum Europas Kapitalmarkt neue Infrastruktur braucht: Ein Gespräch mit Dirk Grunert von Morgan Stanley [DE]

    In dieser Folge von «Inside Digital Assets» spricht Host Lidia Kurt, CEO von BX Digital und Seturion, mit Dirk Grunert, Managing Director bei Morgan Stanley, über den technologischen Wandel im Kapitalmarkt und die Frage, warum neue Infrastruktur für Europa immer wichtiger wird. Dirk Grunert gibt Einblicke in das Geschäft mit strukturierten Produkten und erklärt, wie Derivate dabei helfen, Risiken zu verteilen und abzusichern. Gleichzeitig blickt er auf die Entwicklung des Bankings zurück: von physischen Wertpapieren, manuellen Prozessen und Röhrenmonitoren auf dem Trading Floor bis hin zu Online-Banking, Neo-Brokern und digitalen Marktprozessen. Im Zentrum der Episode steht die Tokenisierung von Wertpapieren und Vermögenswerten. Welche Rolle spielen Digital Assets für Banken, Emittenten und Anleger? Warum reichen bestehende Abwicklungs- und Verwahrstrukturen langfristig nicht mehr aus? Und wie kann moderne Settlement-Infrastruktur dazu beitragen, Kapitalmärkte effizienter, transparenter und skalierbarer zu machen? Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist Europa: Dirk Grunert spricht über die Fragmentierung des europäischen Kapitalmarkts, die Bedeutung einheitlicher Standards und die Chancen einer pan-europäischen Abwicklungsinfrastruktur. Dabei wird deutlich: Tokenisierung ist nicht nur ein technologisches Thema, sondern auch eine Frage von Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, Skalierung und neuen Geschäftsmodellen. Eine Folge über strukturierte Produkte, Digital Assets, Settlement, Tokenisierung, europäische Kapitalmarktinfrastruktur und die Zukunft des Wertpapierhandels.

    Fixing Europe’s Issuance Problem: A conversation with Michael Duttlinger (Cashlink) [EN]

    In this episode of Inside Digital Assets, host Lidia Kurt speaks with Michael Duttlinger (CEO and Co-Founder of Cashlink) about one of the key infrastructure challenges in Europe’s digital asset market: issuance. The conversation explores why the future of tokenized capital markets is unlikely to be fully decentralized, and why regulated intermediaries will continue to play an important role. Michael explains how the German crypto securities registrar model works, why it matters for institutional trust, and how it helps connect blockchain-based securities with the requirements of regulated capital markets. The episode also looks at Europe’s broader issuance landscape. While trading and settlement frameworks are evolving, issuance remains largely shaped by national regimes. Michael shares why this creates structural challenges for scaling tokenized securities across Europe, and which jurisdictions are likely to play a leading role in the years ahead. Another focus is the shift from pilot projects to real implementation. The discussion highlights why financial institutions need more than strategy and experimentation: real learning happens through actual issuance, involving not only innovation teams, but also compliance, legal, operations, and other core functions. Listeners will also gain insights into how Cashlink has evolved over the past decade, how the market is moving from proof-of-concept to production, and why hybrid models are likely to define capital market infrastructure for years to come. This episode is for anyone interested in tokenization, digital securities, capital market infrastructure, and the future of regulated digital finance in Europe.
