RBI Plans to Expand Tokenisation of Financial Assets Including Gold
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expanding its tokenisation of financial assets, building on successful pilots with certificates of deposit and bonds. Tokenisation enables faster issuance, trading, and settlement by representing assets digitally on blockchain, often combined with wholesale central bank digital currency for simultaneous payment. RBI is exploring adding more asset classes, including gold, to its Unified Markets Interface. Challenges such as legal clarity, data privacy, interoperability, and systemic risks remain under consideration as the ecosystem develops.
