Speaking on Monday at the World Digital Assets Forum (WDAF 2026) in Seoul, Naveen Mallela, Global Head of Coin Systems at Standard Chartered, stated that tokenization is poised to reshape corporate finance by enabling companies to unlock cash from financial assets and execute payments within a single process. He believes that the greatest opportunity in blockchain-based finance lies not merely in pursuing faster payment speeds, but in granting businesses on-demand access to liquidity.
