This programme provides a practical introduction to asset tokenisation, a rapidly emerging innovation that is reshaping capital markets, banking and financial intermediation globally.

As digital assets and blockchain technologies gain traction, financial institutions are increasingly exploring how tokenisation can enhance liquidity, improve efficiency, and unlock new investment opportunities. The programme covers fundamentals of blockchain and digital assets, the mechanics of tokenising real-world financial assets, key use cases across capital markets and trade finance, and emerging global trends and innovations. In Malaysia, this evolution is supported by progressive regulatory developments led by Securities Commission Malaysia and Bank Negara Malaysia, making it timely for banks and finance professionals to build capabilities in this space.
