The Tokenization Gap: What’s Holding Back Mass Adoption (So Far)?
Tokenization has the power to transform global finance. By digitizing RWAs on-chain, it promises greater efficiency, faster settlement, enhanced transparency, and even improved privacy. From fractional ownership to 24/7 market access, tokenization could solve many of the long-standing frictions in today’s financial system.
So WHY, despite the promise, AREN’T WE THERE YET?
Join us for a candid panel discussion, hosted by the Crypto Valley Association and GenTwo Digital!
With the help of our expert panelists, we will explore the divide between tokenization’s extraordinary potential vs. its current slow trajectory. We’ll take a look at some of the factors, such as:
· Regulatory and legal hurdles: Fragmented global frameworks around securities, property rights, and cross-border compliance still slow progress - though regions like Singapore, Switzerland, and the UAE are leading the way.
· Technology and infrastructure barriers: Blockchain infrastructure still has some unresolved challenges in interoperability, custody, and security.
· Muted demand: While benefits such as fractionalization and transparency are compelling in theory, liquidity and robust secondary markets are often missing in practice.
· Institutional caution: Traditional finance players are interested, but deliberate. DeFi still needs stronger compliance tools to gain their full participation.
BUT on the bright side, 2025 has marked a turning point: RWAs are decoupling from crypto market volatility, regulatory clarity is emerging, and improved tooling promises to unlock exponential inflows.
Join us for a candid, forward-looking discussion on where tokenization stands today, the barriers it must still overcome, and what it will take to move from promise to mainstream adoption.
