Introduction

How can Singapore maintain its position as an international financial centre amidst the challenges to its capital markets? What long-term strategies can capital markets stakeholders adopt to survive and thrive? How will blockchain, distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence (AI) affect the dynamics between regulator, issuer and investor, and how should regulators adapt to changing technology?

These were just a few of the key questions discussed at the 2025 Dentons Rodyk Dialogue – the ninth consecutive iteration of the landmark event organised in collaboration between Dentons Rodyk and the Singapore Management University (SMU) Yong Pung How School of Law's (YPHSL) Centre for Commercial Law in Asia. The cross-disciplinary focus of the Dialogue was particularly pertinent for this year's theme: "The Future of Capital Markets: Navigating Change in Singapore and Beyond".
