84% of financial firms call tokenization a strategic priority
A Broadridge survey of 200 North American executives found most expect digital assets to coexist with traditional markets within five years.
Tokenization has moved from experimentation to planning, with 84% of financial firms in a Broadridge survey saying it is a strategic priority, and most executives expecting it to reshape how financial markets work within five years, according to CoinDesk. The survey of 200 North American financial services executives also found firms are leaning toward hybrid infrastructure, with 92% expecting digital and traditional assets to coexist, and 69% planning to integrate tokenization into existing systems. It suggested capital markets firms are leading adoption. Broadridge’s findings indicate tokenized mutual funds and money market funds could grow faster than tokenized equities over the next five years. The article notes that interest has accelerated over the past two years as major institutions launched tokenization initiatives, including BlackRock’s tokenized Treasury fund, Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market funds, and JPMorgan’s Kinexys blockchain-based settlement. DTCC also completed its first live production trades involving tokenized securities, a development highlighted as a milestone toward bringing blockchain into traditional market infrastructure. The survey further found 68% of respondents expect tokenization to at least partially reshape financial markets within three to five years, and nearly one-third plan to increase investment in tokenization projects by 26% to 50%, CoinDesk reported.
