ISITC, the industry trade group focused on developing standards and best practices in financial services operations, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with the Tokenized Commodities Council (TCC), a leading industry organization dedicated to educating the investment community and wider public about the benefits of and best practices around the tokenization of commodities.
The strategic collaboration enables both organizations to leverage their collective expertise and resources to advance the understanding and adoption of digitized real world assets. By joining forces, ISITC and TCC will empower industry participants to navigate the complexities of digitization and tokenization effectively.
ISITC has been an integral part of TCC’s Taxonomy Working Group, which aims to develop a standardized framework for classifying and categorizing tokenized commodities, accelerating their mission of establishing safe, accessible, and desirable new investment asset class while promoting fair and sustainable industry practices. ISITC has similarly been at the forefront of digital asset adoption, consistently leading the way in creating and implementing market practices for currencies, assets, commodities, and funds through its Digital Asset Forum.
“We are delighted to partner with the Tokenized Commodity Council and combine our respective expertise to further the development of digital transformation within the financial sector,” said Kristin Hochstein, ISITC Chair. “This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to driving innovation and advancing industry best practices in the evolving digital asset landscape. Together, we hope to foster an environment that promotes education and collaboration in shaping the future of finance.”
“The collaboration with ISITC marks a significant milestone in our mission to educate the financial community,” said Silvana Da Luca, TCC Chair. “Tokenization is revolutionizing the vast $12T commodities sector, fostering economic inclusivity while offering numerous advantages, such as enhanced liquidity, transparency, and measurable ESG impacts. We are thrilled to join forces with ISITC, and together advance digital asset adoption, set new industry standards, and create actionable knowledge that will change the way people perceive, trade, and invest in commodities.”
