About this Workshop

Today’s reality in financial services is an evolving mix of runaway innovation and tighter regulatory control – neither seem to work. Risks, especially non-financial ones, are often buried deep inside complex products, making them difficult to see, price, and manage. This lack of transparency feeds a vicious cycle where poor risk visibility fuels poor risk decisions, leading to instability and, too often, taxpayer-funded bailouts.

This workshop introduces Tokenized Risk Units (TRUs), a bold, emerging approach that takes risk out of the shadows. Using the Risk Accounting method, all accepted non-financial risks are quantified as standardized Risk Units (RUs), which can then be tokenized and traded on specialized, regulated marketplaces.

We’ll explore how TRUs:

  • Separate risk from products, creating standalone, tradable instruments for clearer pricing and accountability.
  • Foster stability over speculation through transparent exchanges with robust price discovery and predictable returns.
  • Empower risk managers to design precise, understandable mitigation strategies backed by solid data and financed by dedicated funds.
  • Give regulators predictability and transparency, helping them safeguard systemic stability and truly prevent disasters.
  • Create a virtuous cycle where well-priced and well-managed risk supports both investor confidence and societal resilience.

Drawing on real-world challenges and early-stage explorations in the financial sector, we’ll discuss how TRUs could reshape the way risk is distributed, financed, and managed, replacing the “too big to fail” problem with a market-based safety net.

If you’re curious about the next big leap in risk management, join us to see how risk tokenization can turn instability into opportunity, speculation into stability, and opacity into clarity.
