NYDIG: Tokenization's Initial Advantages Are Clear, but Growth Will Follow with Democratization

Tokenization Benefits: The initial benefits of tokenizing stocks for the crypto market are limited, primarily involving transaction fees and network effects, but these could grow with improved integration and interoperability on blockchains like Ethereum.

Future of Tokenized Assets: As technology and regulations evolve, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could play a significant role in decentralized finance (DeFi), serving as collateral or tradable assets, although challenges remain in their design and compliance with traditional financial structures.

Market Trends: Major exchanges are looking to launch tokenized stock platforms in the US, reflecting a growing interest in tokenization, which SEC chair Paul Atkins suggests could become mainstream in a few years.

Current Landscape: The Canton Network leads in tokenized assets with $380 billion, while Ethereum is the most popular public blockchain for RWAs, highlighting the varying structures and requirements for tokenized assets across different networks.
