Tokenization: Growth Trend or Fad?

We’re in the early days of the tokenization of real-world assets through blockchain technology, and the growth rates are impressive. Further, utilizing this rising technology is delivering key efficiencies and reduced costs across a range of use cases, including money market funds, securities, and cross-border transactions. Though the technology is relatively new, blockchain has been around for more than a decade, meaning there is talent and knowledge upon which to draw as this method of holding and moving assets becomes more entrenched in traditional finance.
