This episode is hosted by Tonic’s CEO Chris Watts, alongside Head of Digital Steven Czarnota. They’re joined by Kelly Mathieson (Chief Business Development Officer at Digital Asset) to explore the transformative potential of digital collateral and DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) in building resilience across capital markets.

Using real-world case studies - including the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, COVID-19 market shocks, and the 2022 UK LDI crisis - the team unpacks how legacy infrastructure amplified stress and how digital solutions might have changed the outcome.

You’ll hear:

• How DLT can deliver real-time collateral visibility and enhance market stability

• Why smart contracts and tokenization reduce reconciliation and operational risk

• The future role of tokenized physical assets like gold in meeting liquidity needs

• How intraday mobility and tokenized MMFs could reshape margin management

• The importance of interoperability across DLT platforms, including the Canton network

Whether you’re navigating today’s challenges or preparing for the next market stress event, this episode offers practical insights into how digital infrastructure can unlock stronger, more resilient markets.

If you’re not already exploring DLT and tokenized assets - this is your polite nudge to start.
