How Global Tokenisation Deposits Are Unlocking New Economic Value
At the Digital Assets Forum in London, Jacob Mikkel Hansen of the Nordic Blockchain Association said the Nordic region has shifted from skepticism to active engagement with blockchain as practical use cases, supportive regulation (including MiCA) and stablecoins have accelerated adoption. He argued that recent developments—notably institutional interest, stablecoins, and clearer regulatory frameworks—have moved blockchain from fringe trading activity to a horizontal infrastructure for digital identity, payments and financial products. Hansen highlighted tokenised deposits as a key innovation that can liberate locked capital, improve working capital efficiency and enable instant, privacy-preserving value transfers across supply chains. He noted growing real-world deployments by banks, NGOs and major corporates, signaling a structural change in how liquidity and assets are managed.
