I came across ETMarketsā recent slideshow on tokenisation. It seems BIG NAMES are going to move soon.
āThe Rise of Tokenisation: Stablecoins, big banks & the road ahead,ā and hereās what jumped out:
What Is Tokenisation?
Converting realāworld assetsāstocks, bonds, real estateāinto blockchainābased tokens you can store or trade just like crypto. Itās been the dream for years but still needs more regulatory clarity to hit prime time.
Stablecoins Lead the Way
Think $USDT and
$USDC : fiatāpegged tokens already worth aroundāÆ$256āÆbillion, projected to topāÆ$2āÆtrillion by 2028. They show tokenisationās power for fast, borderless transfers
Growing But Fragmented
Banks are building private blockchains that donāt talk to each other, and public secondary markets for tokenised stocks or bonds are still tiny. That fragmentation keeps real scale out of reachāfor now.
Liquidity & Access
Tokenisation could unlock liquidity for hardātoātrade assets (like real estate) and let retail investors own fractional shares. Itās a gameāchanger 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 assetsāgood news for reducing uncertainty, but risks remain until oversight and audits are rockāsolid.
Why It Matters: Tokenisation isnāt a sciāfi pitch anymore; itās quietly building the next layer of finance. If regulators, banks, and blockchains can agree on standards, we could see everything from fractional realāestate investment to onāchain bond trading become as simple as swapping ERCā20 tokens.
Which tokenised asset would you invest in firstāreal estate, art, or bonds?
