The evidence

BIS 2025 discusses tokenised government securities within a proposed financial architecture. Technology does not remove securities-law obligations.

The business implication

The 2025 lens treats IPO readiness as an enterprise improvement programme. Reconcile revenue recognition, related-party dealings and segment economics. Compare listing with private equity or a strategic sale; the best route depends on size, control preferences and time to readiness.

What could change the result?

Exchange eligibility, prospectus requirements and permitted adviser activities are jurisdiction-specific.
