The Future of Derivatives is Standardised. Efficiency in the derivatives market will depend on a single, shared language. The FINOS Common Domain Model (CDM) is the cornerstone of a digital, automated future for derivatives. On March 4th, we are excited to join industry leaders in London to discuss how we turn that model into a reality at the CDM Showcase at State Street in London! Our Chief Legal & Product Officer, Ciarán McGonagle, will be taking to the stage with David Shone, Senior Director of Product, Data & Digital at ISDA, at 9:40 am (GMT) for a demo during the Post Trade Processing sessions. During this demo, Tokenovate and ISDA will dive into the benefits of the extension of CDM to smart contracts in standardised execution for fast and accurate processing of complex reset events, how it aligns with industry definitions, and more.

Let’s connect and talk about how CDM is reshaping the market. #ISDA #CDM #CommonDomainModel #Derivatives #Tokenovate #Fintech #DigitalTransformation #CapitalMarkets

T+1 settlement is coming. Is your exception handling ready? ⏱️ The shift to one-day settlement cuts the post-trade window in half, removing the "overnight safety net" for fixing errors. Under T+1, if an exception isn’t resolved in hours, the trade fails. In our latest article, Tokenovate CEO and Founder Richard Baker explains why success in the new T+1 landscape won’t be determined by speed alone, but by how effectively firms automate exception management.

There’s something about T+1. It’s a regulatory shift that will reshape post-trade operations, and despite the looming deadline, much of the industry still isn’t ready. After speaking with a wide range of experts and senior leaders, one message kept coming up: - many firms aren’t prepared, and - even more importantly, many don’t know where to start. That’s exactly why we created this plan. We’ve put together a practical, step-by-step guide to help market participants: ✅ Assess readiness ✅ Prioritise the right workstreams ✅ Build a realistic plan to get compliant ✅ Unlock the operational benefits of faster settlement Don’t underestimate this shift. The deadline is closer than you think. Download the guide here: https://lnkd.in/eCRTwrr8 #Tokenovate #T1 #Regulation #2027 #Readiness #Guide #FinTech #CDM

As markets move toward accelerated settlement, T+1 alone won’t fix post-trade fragmentation. The real challenge is the abstraction gap between legal contracts and how they’re implemented operationally. Tokenovate's Chief Legal & Product Officer, Ciarán McGonagle , spoke to Anna Reitman at Finadium about how the FINOS Common Domain Model (CDM) helps bridge that gap, turning legal obligations into machine-readable, executable workflows and creating a genuine golden source of truth across settlement, collateral and reporting. In the article, Ciaran explores the strategic benefits of standardising collateral management processes and the general transition towards tokenisation, highlighting the need for market certainty, which can only occur with consistent operational processes. He also discusses the recent launch of our settlement protocol, NOVAT, an automation engine that turns market standards into executable logic for instant settlement finality, without altering existing custodial arrangements or market infrastructure. Powered by CDM mechanics, we aim to begin testing with live participants by the end of Q1.

Tomorrow, Tokenovate joins industry leaders at the Simmons & Simmons Investment Funds Symposium 2026. With the rapid evolution of technology, the "old way" of managing derivatives is being challenged. Tokenovate's Chairman, Brendan Bradley, will join an expert panel to explore how Digital Assets, AI, and Quantum Computing are creating a new era for market participants. At Tokenovate, we are dedicated to building the infrastructure for this next generation of finance. If you’re attending, reach out to Brendan to discuss how to future-proof your fund operations.

Paris, nous voici! 🇫🇷 Tokenovate is attending the ISDA: Driving Digital Transformation event at Jones Day on February 3rd. As we look toward a more automated and standardised future, the adoption of the FINOS Common Domain Model (CDM) and of tokenisation are no longer just concepts: they are active drivers of efficiency. Our Chief Legal & Product Officer, Ciarán McGonagle, will be joining an expert panel on the "Future of CDM & Tokenisation" discussion. We’re looking forward to sharing how Tokenovate is helping firms turn digital standards into operational reality. Will you be in Paris?

"Instant settlement reduces counterparty and settlement risk by collapsing the time lag between trade execution and finality. When cash and securities move at the same time, exposures are minimised, and markets become more resilient, particularly during periods of stress." Tokenovate's Founder and CEO, Richard Baker, featured in GlobalCapital, discussing Lloyds Banking Group’s completion of its first transaction using a tokenised sterling deposit on a public, permissioned blockchain. The transaction marks a meaningful milestone for tokenised deposits, highlighting both their potential and the practical barriers that still need to be addressed. Importantly, this progress doesn’t sit in isolation. Momentum is building across financial market infrastructure: ✅ Swift has announced plans to develop a blockchain-based shared ledger for tokenised asset transactions (https://lnkd.in/e3DHk-MY). ✅ LSEG has launched its Digital Settlement Network, aimed at enabling more efficient, programmable settlement (https://lnkd.in/eQ8r8MjC). Together, these initiatives signal a shift from experimentation to execution. The focus is moving beyond tokenising assets alone toward synchronised cash and securities movement, delivery-versus-payment, and reduced settlement risk.

We were delighted to collaborate with MIT Connection Science, SODA and over 30 leading web3 practitioners on a white paper titled ‘Interoperability Standards for Digital Assets’. The paper argues that without a common, interoperable approach, independent of underlying technology, tokenisation risks remaining fragmented, delivering incremental efficiency gains rather than enabling broader, democratic access to global finance. Our contribution, “The Quiet Evolution of Global Finance: Tokenized Settlement and the Role of the CDM,” explores how tokenised settlement is already reshaping market infrastructure, and how the FINOS' Common Domain Model (CDM) can act as a bridge between traditional and digital finance by providing a shared, canonical layer. The white paper also offers a practical blueprint for developing open standards and outlines how organisations can engage through I-SODA as this work progresses.

The issuance of sterling tokenised deposits on a public blockchain is a significant moment for the UK market, signalling that tokenised money is moving from concept to live, regulated use while remaining integrated with existing banking systems. Our Founder and CEO, Richard Baker, shared his perspective with Finadium following the news that Lloyds Banking Group has completed the UK’s first digital asset transaction using tokenised deposits on the Canton Network. Richard highlights that tokenised deposits can enable real-time settlement, greater transparency and more efficient capital flows. However, moving from landmark transactions to everyday use will depend on getting the foundations right, particularly interoperability, security, data privacy and governance. For tokenised money to scale safely, it must integrate seamlessly with existing payment rails. That means clear standards, shared infrastructure and collaboration across the ecosystem, underpinned by standards-based frameworks such as the Common Domain Model (CDM) by FINOS and open API architectures.
