I came across ETMarkets’ recent slideshow on tokenisation. It seems BIG NAMES are going to move soon.
“The Rise of Tokenisation: Stablecoins, big banks & the road ahead,” and here’s what jumped out:
What Is Tokenisation?
Converting real‑world assets—stocks, bonds, real estate—into blockchain‑based tokens you can store or trade just like crypto. It’s been the dream for years but still needs more regulatory clarity to hit prime time.
Stablecoins Lead the Way
Think $USDT and
$USDC : fiat‑pegged tokens already worth around $256 billion, projected to top $2 trillion by 2028. They show tokenisation’s power for fast, borderless transfers
Growing But Fragmented
Banks are building private blockchains that don’t talk to each other, and public secondary markets for tokenised stocks or bonds are still tiny. That fragmentation keeps real scale out of reach—for now.
Liquidity & Access
Tokenisation could unlock liquidity for hard‑to‑trade assets (like real estate) and let retail investors own fractional shares. It’s a game‑changer if it ever moves beyond pilots.
Big Names Are Watching
Bank of America, Citi, BlackRock, and even Coinbase are dipping toes in the pool. Institutional interest is rising, which usually means more capital and credibility.
Regulation on the Rise
New U.S. laws (like the Clarity Act) aim to define legal frameworks for stablecoins and tokenised assets—good news for reducing uncertainty, but risks remain until oversight and audits are rock‑solid.
Why It Matters: Tokenisation isn’t a sci‑fi pitch anymore; it’s quietly building the next layer of finance. If regulators, banks, and blockchains can agree on standards, we could see everything from fractional real‑estate investment to on‑chain bond trading become as simple as swapping ERC‑20 tokens.
Which tokenised asset would you invest in first—real estate, art, or bonds?
