The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) has released a discussion paper (DP) on examining the potential role of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Tokenisation in the Financial System.
CBI says the DP aims to:
• Increase our understanding of DLT and its potential to transform the underlying infrastructure of finance and create new innovative financial services
• Assess the opportunities, challenges, enablers (including legal and regulatory clarity, operational resilience and scalability, and interoperability) and risks arising from these technological innovations
• Examine how DLT and tokenisation interact and intersect with existing financial infrastructures, intermediaries and product offerings
• Ensure that the use of DLT and tokenisation in financial services deliver the benefits of efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for the welfare of society as a whole.
The CBI said it wants “to leverage the insights from this Discussion Paper to inform our thinking on, and approach to, DLT and tokenisation in financial services, across the breadth of our mandate.
“We will use this Discussion Paper as a basis for structured engagement with domestic and international stakeholders on the opportunities, challenges, enablers and risks arising from these technological innovations.”

Trrue Blockchain Technology, the Irish Layer-1 blockchain company, has won a significant round of investment with FundBank Group.
FundBank said the investment was part of its continued expansion of products and services to meet demand for banking for digital assets.
Trrue Chain provides tailored, cutting-edge infrastructure for businesses and individuals, the addition of which FundBank said demonstrates its commitment to support digital assets as they gain prominence in institutional portfolios. FundBank said it is dedicated to meeting the rising demand for secure fiat banking and custody services, from diverse stakeholders in the digital asset space.
“ComOp has been a long-time admirer of the innovative approach to governance through blockchain developed by Trrue and this coupled with a VASP and, subject to approval, CASP license, makes it a very unique asset,“ said Derek Delaney, senior executive at FundBank, founder of ComOp, the lead institutional investors in Trrue.
“Ireland has seen a number of the institutional VASPs choose to convert to CASPs in other jurisdictions and this has left a gap in the market that will become apparent as CASPs mainstream the institutional holding of crypto and digital assets in funds.”
“Since founding Trrue in 2021,” said Owen O’Driscoll, CEO, Trrue, “our focus has been on rebuilding the core architecture of finance. The systems the global economy relies on simply weren’t designed for the speed and demands of today.
“This investment is an important milestone and a meaningful affirmation of our strategy. Our conviction has always been that this technology will fundamentally reshape the infrastructure of financial markets.
“With this partnership,” said O’Driscoll, “we are accelerating the build-out of infrastructure that enables institutional capital to move instantly and securely. Becoming part of the FundBank Group accelerates our evolution as an institutional platform and strengthens our ability to scale with the governance and rigor the market demands.”
