The desk posits that the ongoing discourse on tokenization, as highlighted by Lisa D Cook at the BCEAO Conference, signals a pivotal shift in the financial system's architecture. Per the full note [source], Cook emphasized the transformative potential of digital assets, particularly in enhancing financial inclusion and operational efficiency within emerging markets.
