Vermeg at Sibos 2025: Tokenized Collateral, ECMS & AI-Driven Optimization

How do you take collateral from slow and siloed to real-time, intelligent, and interoperable? At Sibos 2025, Wassel Dammak, Head of Collateral Solutions Strategy at Vermeg, explains how the firm supports market infrastructure (including the ECMS technical layer connecting banks) and is bringing tokenized assets into collateral workflows, backed by DLT connectors and AI agents that optimize what to pledge, where, and how. Key Highlights - Collateral demand has surged with post-crisis regulations → shift from cash to non-cash, and now to tokenized assets - Vermeg provides the ECMS technical layer and collateral platforms for banks and market participants - DLT connectors enable 24/7, near-real-time settlement; AI agents choose optimal routes (traditional networks vs. chains) - Interoperability matters: multiple major chains must work together; hybrid phase of traditional + tokenized collateral is expected - Outcomes: lower liquidity friction, faster velocity, reduced trading costs, and better margins with strong risk controls If you found this useful, like, subscribe, and hit the bell 🔔 for more executive interviews from Sibos, Money20/20 and beyond. #Sibos2025 #Sibos #Vermeg #WasselDammak #FinancialIT #CollateralManagement #TokenizedCollateral #Tokenization #DigitalAssets #DLT #Blockchain #Interoperability #ECMS #Settlement #RealTimeSettlement #AI #AIAgents #SecuritiesFinance #RiskManagement #LiquidityOptimization #MarketInfrastructure #Custody #CapitalMarkets #Treasury #Frankfurt
