Kazakhstan Hosts WFC 2025, Showcasing Ambition to Lead Post-Trade Reforms
Kazakhstan recently hosted the World Forum of Central Securities Depositories (WFC 2025), marking its ambition to become a regional hub for post-trade expertise. The event, attended by over 200 delegates from 80 countries, focused on balancing innovation and stability in the stock market today.
The forum, held for the first time in Kazakhstan, was chaired by Adil Mukhamejanov, who leads both the Kazakh Central Securities Depository (KCSD) and the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE). Mukhamejanov discussed the potential of technologies like tokenized collateral, stablecoins, and fund tokenization to accelerate securities movement and attract investors from developed regions in the stock market.
Jean-Paul Renaud, Euroclear's Chief Market Strategy Officer, stressed the importance of coordination among CSDs, regulators, and market participants to ensure innovation benefits the entire ecosystem. Speakers agreed that technology is key for attracting investors from emerging regions to the stock market, but safeguarding cybersecurity is equally crucial.
The WFC 2025 in Kazakhstan highlighted the country's ambition to lead post-trade reforms and attract global investment in the stock market. The forum's discussions on technology integration, interoperability, and market access expansion underscore the importance of balancing innovation and stability in today's financial markets.
