Avalon Ingram: Banks Are Done Experimenting With Tokenization

<p>Avalon Ingram says institutional adoption of tokenization is no longer a question, and Swift&#39;s live ledger is the proof.</p><p><br></p><p>Swift&#39;s blockchain-based shared ledger went live nine months after its announcement, with 17 banks transacting real tokenized commercial bank money. Avalon explains why Swift sees this as a necessary upgrade to the plumbing of global finance, how decoupling payment execution from settlement unlocks liquidity for banks and corporate treasurers, and why stablecoins and tokenized deposits will coexist in a hybrid world. She also covers why Asia has been ahead, what onchain settlement venues are needed for 24/7 markets, and how the network grows from 17 banks to thousands.</p><p><br></p><p>Avalon Ingram is the Digital Assets Business Lead at Swift.</p><p><br></p><p>The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.
