Webinar: The value of digitisation for corporate funding, liquidity and financial risk

We recently had the opportunity to hear from Tim Hogben – ASX Group Executive, Securities and Payments on the value of digitisation for corporate funding, liquidity and financial risk during at our NSW Chapter Networking event. Following the presentation, Tim Hogben was joined by Rodolf Salem Chief Operating Officer at Lygon, and Lindesay Brine – Chair of the ACTA’s Technical Committee for a conversation on how digitisation is integral in driving the future of data integrity and privacy.  The opportunities for smart contracts and self-enforcing business logic in a multi-party applications is being tested. For example, the technology of digital ledger technology (DLT) can utilise dormant assets in the cycle and give certainty to those lending.  Rules can be built into smart contracts and entitlements regarding stock, to create an important risk barrier and risk mitigant.

Below is a recording of the session, additionally an article published by the ASX.
