How did we end up with technologies that have become the standards in their respective domains and literally run the world? The answer comes down to just about two things: 1/ adoption and 2/ having the right things - just right, not too complex, not too simple, not too expensive at the right time, able to satisfy a market need through a compelling commercial value proposition.

GØLDCHAIN is the second point and explores what it means to have the right things for Global Capital Markets (GCMs) that have been experimenting with DLT & CO and want to make use of the blockchain anatomy - the components that comprise various levels and protocols that make up the fabric of a holistic blockchain environment.

GØLDCHAIN is an ambitious attempt to synthesize the many and varied institutional requirements of established GCMs with the functional possibilities in the right mix, packaged together through a compelling commercial proposition that not only allows adoption to take place but should enable the acceleration of the transformation of Global Capital Markets towards NEWFI.

recøde: Innovation — Transformation — Mindset offers a game changing approach to value creation in the 21st century through innovation and transformation and therefore offers the means to rewrite the playbook for value creation. This book, with an emphasis on big ambition, small steps — explores how one needs to devise new games, establish new rules, and examines a common scenario that many people tend to forget — the one that assumes that all the planned scenarios are wrong.

Global Financial Markets are undergoing secular change — some would say they are under attack from geoeconomics, innovation, transformation [often a function of technology] and affected by a reshaping of the global regulatory landscape. Against this backdrop, recøde: Innovation — Transformation — Mindset sets out to provide a framework to fundamentally rethink how innovation and transformation need to be approached — for both existing and new players in the global capital markets ecosystem — to achieve and maintain growth in a world of constant flux.

recøde originated from a simple yet pertinent question: what do I need to know at the onset of a journey into digital assets and asset agnostic infrastructure to prevail and make a contribution toward reshaping global capital markets — a journey which is plagued by uncertainty and a plethora of scenarios that could play out with significantly different payoffs. recøde outlines how TRADFI/ DEFI, CRYPTO and AI could reshape global capital markets and discusses the use of innovation and transformation to help financial institutions define and realize their corporate ambitions over time against the headwinds of corporate and personal inertia, political, regulatory and economic uncertainty, structural ambiguity and cognitive dissonance.
