Cross-Border Tokenisation and the Future of Global Markets
Tokenisation is moving beyond individual markets, with financial institutions exploring blockchain-based settlement across currencies and jurisdictions. BIS’s Project Agorá has demonstrated multi-currency settlement using tokenised central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, while India is also preparing its first tokenised corporate bond issue. If assets can eventually be issued, traded, and settled across borders on compatible blockchain infrastructure, tokenisation could make global markets significantly more connected. Could cross-border tokenisation become one of blockchain’s biggest real-world use cases?
Galaxy S26 Ultra at Rs. 1.4L Real Innovation or Peak Flagship Pricing for India?
The Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at Rs. 1,39,999 in India and climbs to Rs. 1,89,999 for the highest variant, a price point that demands justification. Samsung is leaning hard on AI features and hardware upgrades to make that case, and there's genuinely interesting stuff here: a built-in Privacy Display, the multi-agent Galaxy AI setup, a serious camera system, and a new APV video codec for sharper footage. On paper, it's a strong package.
But Indian buyers are pragmatic. With bank offers, exchange deals, and upgrade cycles stretching past two years, the real test isn't what the spec sheet says, it's whether any of this changes how you actually use your phone day to day. Increasingly, the Ultra feels like it's chasing a specific kind of user: the creator, the power user, the tech enthusiast. For everyone else paying flagship money, the calculus is getting harder to square.
