The BIS’s 2026 analysis of monetary innovation examines why trust remains central as tokenisation and stablecoins develop. Technology changes the form of a record or transaction; it does not by itself settle questions of rights, resilience or governance.

NAG perspective. Digital-asset interests should begin with clear purpose and enforceable arrangements. The opportunity lies in useful infrastructure and sound structures, with appropriate controls for the activity concerned.
