Tokenization will fundamentally transform the financial landscape – faster than digital change has shaped the media

The tokenization of real-world assets is evolving into a megatrend that will reshape traditional financial structures at an unprecedented pace. According to Keith Grossman, President of the crypto payment service provider MoonPay, a disruption is underway that could surpass the speed of media shifts driven by digitalization.

Current market data shows this is no longer a future vision: the sector of tokenized real-world assets has already reached a market capitalization of nearly $19 billion (excluding stablecoins). Large investors have long recognized where the journey is headed. BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are already leading tokenized investment funds into the market, symbolizing that traditional financial power no longer ignores blockchain technology.

Established Financial Institutions Must Reinvent or Fall Behind

Grossman emphasizes: financial giants like Citi and JPMorgan Chase are under pressure. They need to adapt their business models, or they risk suffering the same fate as media companies in the digital transformation. The parallel is telling – those who do not transform will be overtaken by new market forces.

Why Tokenization Has the Edge

Tokenized financial solutions offer tangible advantages: markets open 24/7 instead of fixed trading hours, assets can be scaled globally without hurdles, and transaction costs are significantly reduced. These efficiency gains are not just theoretical – they are already transforming operational business.

DTCC as a Key Player: Plan for Tokenized Assets by 2026

A milestone marks the roadmap of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC). The securities clearinghouse plans to integrate tokenized assets into its systems by the end of 2026 – including U.S. Treasury bonds. This step signifies entry into continuous securities trading and finally legitimizes tokenization at the institutional level.
