RWAs & The Future of Finance: The Evolution of Settlement Infrastructure
A deeper look at how programmable rails are adapting to support new asset classes and future innovations
This series is brought to you in partnership with Settled Here, the programmable infrastructure layer for compliant, cross-chain settlement of real-world assets.
Introduction
The landscape of tokenized finance is constantly evolving. New asset classes, market models, and regulatory requirements demand settlement infrastructure that is flexible, programmable, and ready to adapt. The next generation of settlement rails is not just about moving assets. It is about enforcing rules, supporting innovation, and enabling new financial products.
Supporting New Asset Classes
Programmable settlement rails can handle anything from tokenized treasuries and funds to private credit, structured products, and even real-world commodities. As more asset types are brought onchain, platforms must be able to encode and enforce unique permissioning, pricing, and compliance rules for each one.
Flexible Market Models
Automated market making: Onchain settlement supports dynamic liquidity pools and price discovery for both traditional and novel assets.
Custom workflows: Settlement platforms are enabling programmable DvP, recurring payments, and multi-party trades, all with granular audit and compliance logic.
Evolving regulation: Programmable infrastructure lets platforms update rules and processes in response to new laws, standards, and market needs.
Powering Future Innovation
The infrastructure being built today is the foundation for tomorrow’s financial products. Whether it is real-time settlement for carbon credits, instant lending against onchain collateral, or composable structured products, programmable rails make it possible to launch, manage, and evolve complex offerings with speed and security.
