DLT in the Real World 2025 Report

How DLT is Transforming Capital Markets Today

Discover how real-world adoption is creating new revenues, deeper liquidity, and live ecosystems.

ISSA has collaborated with The ValueExchange, with the support of Accenture, Broadridge and Taurus, on the DLT in the Real World 2025 report, which shows that DLT is no longer an experiment.

It’s live.
It’s scaling, and
It’s reshaping how firms think about liquidity, financing, and revenue growth.

Inside you’ll find data that shows:

  • One-third of the market already using on-chain applications in production
  • 42% of firms shifting their focus to new product revenues over cost savings
  • Tokenized Funds and Stablecoins driving new momentum in liquidity and financing
  • The US market up 72% in activity thanks to regulatory clarity

ISSA’s Evolving Technologies Working Group will continue its work on Digital Assets and DLT, informed by these findings. We are expanding our current focus on Collateral Use Cases to the rise of Stablecoins and Tokenized Funds and we look forward to industry engagement on all these topics.
