In this system, digital assets such as securities will be tokenized in a blockchain, and real-time payment and physical acquisition will be made.

SGX plans to publish a report on how to design a DvP platform by November.

“We expect more talented people to come to Singapore in the future,” he added. “There will be a variety of blockchain applications that will create new opportunities.”
