Day 2 | 21st April

12:30 PM Fireside Chat: Democratising Private Credit: Can tokenisation unlock the retail opportunity?

Private credit has long been the domain of institutions, but investor appetite is widening. Tokenisation and digital infrastructure promise to reshape distribution, lower entry barriers, and enable secondary liquidity — potentially making private credit more accessible to wealth and retail investors. But how realistic is this vision, and what hurdles remain in product design, regulation, and education?

This session will bring together innovators and allocators to explore whether tokenisation is the key to scaling private credit access beyond institutions, and what it takes to do so responsibly.
