Our monthly recap offers a regular cadence of updates regarding our contributions to the Enterprise Blockchain community. These updates showcase QualitaX's dedication to advancing blockchain adoption in financial services. Whether collaborating on open standards, releasing open-source tools, or educating through ecosystem partnerships, we are committed to supporting the digital transformation of traditional finance.
Digital Assets
📢 Last month, we released our ERC-3643 Standard Deep Dive. We are now announcing that this month, we started our new initiative focused on ERC-1400. As part of our ongoing commitment to support the real-world asset tokenization space, we will be providing two deliverables: an ERC-1400 Adoption Tracker as well as a deep dive report. We are happy to announce that both items will be officially released in May!
For the early enthusiasts, here is a sneak peek:
Interoperability
📝 We are happy to announce that the draft of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) Interoperability Specification is now ready for public review and comments, at https://entethalliance.github.io/crosschain-interoperability/draft_dlt-interop_techspec.html.
To streamline the review process, we are using GitHub for collecting and managing all reviews and comments. Please submit your feedback as issues within the public repository at https://github.com/EntEthAlliance/dlt-interop - detailed instructions on the review process can be found there, too.
QX Insights - Webinars
In 2023, we launched a webinar series titled "The Future of Financial Market Infrastructures" aimed at exploring and demystifying the evolving world of finance through the lens of blockchain technology. The purpose of the series is to be a hub for thought leaders and experts in the field and to provide insights into the changes shaping the financial industry.
👉 Catchup: This month, we had the pleasure of hosting Saloi Benbaha, Head of Institutional Partnerships at TradeFinex, and Christoph Gugelmann Founder & CEO at Tradeteq to discuss the digitization of trade finance.
Recording is now available on Youtube.
We discussed:
✅ The $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap and the challenges in trade finance today.
✅ The biggest opportunities and challenges or limitations to Trade Finance and RWA tokenization.
✅ The multi-trillion dollar securitization market and the associated opportunity for RWA tokenization.
✅ Regulatory frameworks are evolving to support the growth of digital assets and tokenization, with jurisdictions like Dubai and the UK leading the way.
✅ Standardization and interoperability between different networks and platforms are crucial to avoid fragmentation of liquidity in the tokenized asset market.
