Tokenization, stablecoins, and distributed ledger technology are moving from emerging concepts toward practical applications for corporate treasury—but where do they actually fit within a company’s liquidity, investment, and funding strategy?

This session will examine digital assets through the lens of treasury decision-making, focusing on when and how tokenized deposits, stablecoins, tokenized money market funds, and blockchain-enabled solutions may offer advantages over traditional alternatives. Speakers will explore practical frameworks for evaluating these tools alongside existing liquidity, investment, payment, and capital markets strategies, considering factors such as liquidity, yield, cost, risk, settlement efficiency, and operational requirements. A treasury practitioner will provide real-world perspective on evaluating emerging solutions, building the internal business case, and determining where adoption may—or may not—make sense.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify practical treasury use cases for tokenized deposits, stablecoins, tokenized money market funds, and other onchain solutions.

2. Evaluate digital and traditional liquidity solutions using treasury-specific criteria, including liquidity, yield, cost, counterparty risk, settlement, and operational complexity.

3. Assess how onchain solutions could complement existing investment, payment, working capital, and funding strategies.

4. Determine when an emerging digital solution warrants further evaluation, testing, or adoption based on treasury-specific considerations such as liquidity, risk, or operational readiness.
