The digitalisation of financial instruments in the area of electronic securities represents a significant challenge. The transition from traditional, physical securities to digital formats opens up numerous opportunities, such as improved efficiency, faster transactions and increased liquidity. At the same time, however, there are also a number of obstacles to overcome. These include security and data protection issues, the implementation of suitable technological infrastructures and ensuring the legal and regulatory framework.
In addition, investors need to develop a certain level of trust in the digital security and integrity of electronic securities. The digitalisation of financial instruments therefore requires close cooperation between financial institutions, regulatory authorities and technology companies in order to successfully overcome these challenges and exploit the potential of digital transformation in the financial sector.
