🚀 At the BCTR Banking and Finance Working Group event held at Türkiye İş Bankası Towers, we discussed one of the most critical topics shaping the future of finance:

*Tokenization: Is it the foundation of next-generation financial architecture, or just another digital product?*

Following the opening remarks by TBV Secretary General Cagdas Ergin, BCTR Banking and Finance Working Group Vice Chair Meral Şengöz, who moderated the event, emphasized that tokenization;

📌 Distributed ledger

📌 Instant settlement

📌 Programmability

transforms the structure of ownership and financial transactions through these features.

İş Bankası Deputy General Manager Sabri Gökmenler noted in his speech that blockchain technology represents not just a transformation but a serious “alternative paradigm.”

Yapı Kredi Financial Technologies Director Engin Ertilav highlighted interoperability,

Misyon Bank General Manager Muhammet Mustafa Cerit addressed the role of central banks in this transformation,

and İş Yatırım Deputy General Manager Sant Manukyan underscored the macroeconomic and geopolitical dimensions of the issue.

💡 Summary of the day:

Tokenization is not just a “trend,” but a critical inflection point in the future of finance.

The main question, however, remains open:

*Where will banks position themselves in this transformation?*

We at BCTR will continue our events. Many thanks to all our guests!
