The world of finance is changing fast, and one of the biggest shifts coming is tokenization. Both Wall Street and the crypto industry believe that turning real-world assets like stocks, bonds, and funds into digital tokens will completely reshape how global markets work. Tokenization means that traditional assets are recorded and traded on a blockchain, allowing investors to buy, sell, and settle transactions almost instantly.
Nasdaq has already taken a big step in this direction by asking the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow tokenized stocks to trade on its exchange. The SEC opened the proposal for public comments in September, and a decision is expected within a few months. If approved, this would be a major moment that brings traditional finance and blockchain technology together.
Many big names in the financial world see tokenization as unstoppable. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev described it as a “freight train” that cannot be stopped and said it would eventually “eat the entire financial system.” Over the summer, Robinhood launched more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs in Europe, giving investors access to new forms of trading. While these products are not yet available in the U.S., their success in Europe shows how quickly the idea is spreading.
Other powerful firms, including Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, are also exploring tokenization. Goldman Sachs has launched tokenized money-market funds, while BlackRock is considering tokenized exchange-traded funds (ETFs). BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink believes that every stock, bond, and fund could one day exist in tokenized form. He says this will revolutionize investing by allowing markets to stay open all the time and settle transactions in seconds instead of days.
Supporters say tokenized assets make trading easier and more inclusive. With blockchain, people can exchange assets in one simple transaction and even use those tokens as collateral for loans. This lowers barriers for ordinary investors and opens up new opportunities in the financial world.
Experts predict that the market for tokenized real-world assets could grow from about 600 billion dollars in 2025 to nearly 19 trillion dollars by 2033. This growth could make tokenization one of the most important changes in modern finance.
However, the system still faces some challenges. In Europe, some tokenized stocks like Apple and Amazon have struggled with low liquidity, causing their prices to differ from real shares. There are also concerns about the role of third-party issuers and how regulation will evolve.
Even with these issues, many believe that tokenization is the future. It promises faster, fairer, and more accessible markets that could transform global finance forever.
As tokenization gains ground in financial markets, other segments of the blockchain ecosystem, such as crypto mining conducted by enterprises like MARA Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA), could enjoy broader investor interest as the technology goes mainstream.
