Citi has released its latest "Securities Services Evolution" whitepaper, which outlines significant changes anticipated in the global post-trade industry. The report indicates that digital assets, accelerated settlements, and the adoption of AI are key drivers of this transformation. According to the whitepaper, 10% of global market turnover is expected to be tokenized by 2030, with bank-issued stablecoins playing a crucial role in this shift.

The whitepaper, which surveyed 537 industry leaders, highlights that 76% of respondents are actively working on T+1 initiatives by 2025. Automation is deemed critical for T+1 readiness in the UK and Europe, with improved operational processes and upgraded technology cited as essential enablers.

Generative AI (GenAI) is also gaining traction, with 86% of firms piloting its use, particularly in client onboarding. The Asia Pacific region is leading in digital asset adoption, driven by retail cryptocurrency uptake and regulatory efforts.
