Tokenization seen as the next long-term shift in how value is owned
The Solana Foundation argues tokenization changes issuance, investment, and distribution globally, helping address fragmented liquidity and access constraints.
CoinDesk highlights an argument from Solana Foundation’s Lily Liu that tokenization represents a structural migration of money, assets, and ownership onto always-on internet infrastructure, extending beyond greater access to tokens.
The piece frames the “Token Supercycle” as a long-duration shift similar to past commodity or reconstruction-era supercycles, but with tokenization entering from three directions: who can issue assets, who can invest, and who can distribute them, across jurisdictions.
According to CoinDesk, legacy finance systems were built for high friction in both information sharing and value transfer, and those constraints have left today’s liquidity fragmented, with strong assets not always reaching the capital positioned to own them due to regulatory or size limits.
The article says tokenization can expand distribution by reducing geography and ticket-size barriers, and compares the scalability concept to century-old mechanisms like ADRs, while arguing that scaling modern tokenization is primarily a technology problem.
