Doha: Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), a leading onshore financial and business centre in the region, recently published a report on shaping the future of digital assets, as it underscores the need for coordinated, forward-looking regulatory frameworks and multi-stakeholder cooperation to unlock the full potential of real-world asset tokenisation.

The new report, generated in partnership with Global Stratalogues and the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) was based on the discussions at the inaugural Digital Assets Policy Roundtable.

It captures insights from global experts who agree that the successful development of inclusive and future-ready token ecosystems hinges on cross-border regulatory alignment, strategic infrastructure investment, and public-private collaboration.

The findings highlight that tokenisation, when embedded within a coherent policy framework, can expand market access, enhance financial inclusion, and deliver tangible value across economies.

Some of the key points of consensus from the roundtable, as highlighted in the report, include Global Regulatory Alignment is Emerging—But Uneven: Legal definitions and compliance requirements vary significantly across jurisdictions; Pragmatism Over Perfection: Tokenisation is still in a formative stage.
