Digital Assets at a Tipping Point: A Conversation with Christoph Hock (Union Investment)

In the latest episode of Inside Digital Assets, the podcast by BX Digital and Seturion, Lidia Kurt speaks with Christoph Hock, Head of Tokenisation and Digital Assets at Union Investment, about the next stage in the development of digital assets.

Digital Assets at a Tipping Point: A Conversation with Christoph Hock (Union Investment)

The conversation highlights why digital assets, tokenized securities and blockchain-based market infrastructure are gaining momentum right now. Key drivers include regulation, new impulses from the US, progress on the cash side, and the growing relevance of open infrastructure for capital markets.

A particular focus of the episode is on tokenized money market funds. Christoph Hock describes them as a potentially important use case as markets move towards 24/7 trading and instant settlement. This raises broader questions about how liquidity, post-trade processes and customer benefits could evolve in digital capital markets.

The episode also explores why technological change is strategically relevant for established market participants. From this perspective, the evolution of capital markets is not only about new technologies, but also about adaptability, collaboration and market-ready structures.

For BX Digital and Seturion, the infrastructure angle is especially important: tokenization will only scale more broadly if it does not remain trapped in isolated silo solutions, but is supported by open, collaborative and regulatorily compatible models.

The episode with Christoph Hock from Union Investment therefore provides a well-grounded perspective on current developments in digital assets, tokenization, settlement and digital financial market infrastructure.
