It's time for a Giovannini moment. Earlier this year, Tokenovate’s Richard Baker and Ciarán McGonagle met with the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) of the #EuropeanCommission in #Brussels to explore the path forward for #financialmarket integration. The Draghi Report and the EU’s proposed Savings and Investments Union (SIU) present a unique opportunity to realise long-standing goals for a more unified, efficient, and globally competitive #capitalmarket. With the rapid emergence of #digitalassets, DLT, and smart regulation, the conditions are now right to address persistent post-trade inefficiencies—and finally complete the journey started by the Giovannini Group over two decades ago.

24/7 trading and clearing of derivatives is an important topic for our industry, and Tokenovate is pleased to have responded to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) "Request for Comment". At Tokenovate, we believe real-time, on-chain automation and tokenised collateral are the missing pieces to a truly continuous market. Modern DLT platforms already enable instant margin transfers, immutable trade records and rule-based risk controls outside traditional banking hours. By embedding the FINOS CDM and partnering with leading custodians, it is possible to launch 24/7 trading safely - starting with highly liquid, cash-settled products -and then scale to more complex instruments. Now is the time for regulators to recognise blockchain records as compliant books & records and to update legacy rules designed for end-of-day cycles. As an industry, we can build a resilient, transparent and customer-friendly market infrastructure fit for the digital age.

The foundations for a modern, harmonised European #capitalmarket were laid two decades ago. Now, with the Draghi Report and the #EU’s Savings and Investments Union proposal, we have a chance to complete that vision, placing digital assets and emerging technologies at the core. At Tokenovate, we believe the time has come for a new Giovannini Group - one that expands legal harmonisation, embraces operational standardisation through the FINOS's Common Domain Model, champions decentralised financial infrastructure and supports the European Commission’s ambitious legislative agenda aimed at removing barriers to market-led consolidation and integration. This isn’t just about regulation or infrastructure. It’s about unlocking capital, driving innovation, and making #Europe more competitive and inclusive in a changing global financial ecosystem. Read our latest article "A New Giovannini Moment for European Capital Markets" and join the conversation. Let’s build a future-proof capital market, together. https://lnkd.in/ed3_X9my
