[IMF: Tokenized Asset Market Reaches $65 Billion, But Liquidity and Regulation Remain Barriers to Adoption]
Odaily Planet Daily reports that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated the tokenized financial market is growing rapidly, but legal uncertainties, lack of interoperability, and the absence of widely accepted settlement assets may still limit its further development. In its latest analysis, the IMF noted that as of July, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) was approximately $65 billion, which remains small compared to the roughly $300 trillion global capital market. Among these, tokenized credit products accounted for about $30.4 billion, money market funds around $17.5 billion, and tokenized equities approximately $2.3 billion.
The IMF highlighted that tokenized equities are attracting investors due to their support for 24/7 trading and fractional ownership, but their liquidity is significantly lower than traditional markets, with actual volatility about 1.5 times that of traditional stocks. As the tokenized market expands, increased market interconnectivity and leverage could amplify liquidity risks, concentrated sell-offs, and risk contagion.
The IMF stated that tokenization has the potential to reshape financial markets, but its future development will depend more on robust policy frameworks, market depth, trust mechanisms, and risk mitigation measures. Currently, due to the relatively small market size, the systemic risks posed by tokenized assets remain limited. (Cointelegraph)
