G20 report on tokenization outlines how central banks likely to engage
October 21, 2024

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has been pretty supportive of tokenization, promoting the idea of the Unified Ledger where tokenized assets can be settled with tokenized money. Today the BIS and Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) released a report for the G20 which takes an upbeat but sober view on tokenization, highlighting both the opportunities and the risks, as well as the role of central banks.

On the opportunity front, the stand out benefit is seen as the ability for a single platform to support functions that have been traditionally split (such as pre and post trade) as well as multiple types of assets and different parties. That reduces many frictions and costs, enabling transactions that previously weren’t possible. Plus the support for delivery versus payment (simultaneous exchange of the asset and money) helps with risk reduction.

It also steps through many potential risks beyond the conventional ones. In the early stages, as tokenization matures, there is some legal uncertainty as regulations get clarified.

The paper raised an interesting legal risk: In the United States, if a company goes bankrupt, its assets are frozen. However, that’s not the case regarding repurchase agreements (repos), which usually involve a company providing collateral in exchange for cash. The BIS notes that this advantage “may not extend to tokenised versions of repo transactions.”

Meanwhile, the authors highlight that more complex platforms which support multiple issuers and assets are likely to be more expensive to build. On the other hand, it’s less expensive to develop a single issuer or asset platform, but more likely to create siloed data which defeats the object of tokenization.

The role of central bankers

This potential proliferation of siloed systems and fragmentation highlights the need for central banks. Central banks can step in to coordinate efforts. Plus, given the propensity for payments and network effects, there’s a risk that a lack of competition between tokens could result in a “winner takes most” situation. That could mean the benefits of tokenization translate to higher profits rather than lower costs for end users. Central banks want end users to benefit from the potential economies of scale that a large platform could enable.

A second consideration is the role of the central bank in providing central bank money for the settlement of tokenized assets. The paper considers various options, including integrating existing payment systems and providing tokenized central bank money (wholesale CBDC) on a central bank platform or third party platforms. While tokenized deposits are moving forward, the BIS is concerned about the potential proliferation of stablecoins for settlement.

Third, is the potential need to monitor these new platforms. They want to assess which ones fall into similar a classification to traditional Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs).

Finally, there’s the impact on monetary policy. For example, the use of tokenized deposits or a wholesale CBDC could change the balance between public and private money. If tokenization ends up fragmenting money, then this could affect the implementation of monetary policy.

The road ahead

“Tokenisation has significant potential to improve the safety and efficiency of the financial system,” Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the BIS.

”Central banks along with the private sector must continue to explore novel technologies and develop solutions that are fit for purpose for the future financial system. However, tokenisation also poses economic, legal and technical challenges that must be addressed if it is to fulfil its potential. The BIS is committed to exploring aspects of these challenges through its analysis and Innovation Hub projects in the years ahead.”

So far there’s an increasing number of central banks that are stepping in to provide a coordination role. These are highlighted as part of our new report on tokenized deposits.

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.

Pyth Network (PYTH) To Rally Higher? This Emerging Fractal Setup Saying Yes!

The cryptocurrency market is undergoing a healthy cooldown as Ethereum (ETH) eases to $4,440 from its recent peak of $4,780. The pullback has weighed on most major altcoins — including Pyth Network (PYTH) — which is down about 5% over the past week.

But while the short-term dip might look discouraging, PYTH’s chart is showing something far more interesting: a price structure that mirrors the exact same bullish breakout pattern that sent Skale (SKL) soaring by triple digits earlier this month.

PYTH Mirrors SKL’s Breakout Structure

A glance at SKL’s daily chart reveals a textbook falling wedge formation — a well-known bullish reversal pattern. Once SKL broke above the wedge and printed a higher high followed by a higher low, it flipped both the 200-day and 100-day moving averages into firm support. That technical shift triggered a 148% rally in just days.

PYTH appears to be tracing the same path.

Like SKL, PYTH has already broken out from its falling wedge and formed a higher high and higher low. It is now consolidating just beneath a critical confluence of resistance, with the 100-day MA at $0.1235 and the 200-day MA at $0.1481 — a setup eerily similar to SKL’s pre-breakout structure.

What’s Next for PYTH?

For the bullish fractal to fully play out, PYTH will need to close decisively above the $0.1235–$0.1481 zone, ideally on rising volume. A confirmed breakout could open the door to the first upside target of $0.21, representing roughly 78% potential gains from current levels.

However, confirmation is key. Until PYTH clears these moving average hurdles, it remains vulnerable to extended consolidation or even a false breakout. Still, the fractal similarity to SKL is hard to overlook — and if history repeats, PYTH bulls could be on the verge of a major move.
