IMF finds tokenized US equity trading shifts outside Wall Street hours
The IMF said tokenized equities saw about 50% higher realized volatility than traditional counterparts, while fragmented venues had weaker liquidity.
More than half of sampled tokenized US stock trading occurs outside Wall Street's regular hours, the International Monetary Fund found in its October Global Financial Stability Report, according to CryptoSlate.
The IMF also reported that about 80% of tokenized equity transactions involved less than one share, consistent with demand for fractional investments and around-the-clock access to US securities.
In the same analysis, tokenized equities experienced roughly 50% higher realized volatility than their traditional counterparts, and fragmented trading venues offered significantly weaker liquidity.
The IMF examined five actively traded tokenized US equity products issued by Ondo and xStocks, with exposure to the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Tesla, Alphabet and Nvidia, based on more than 2 million five-minute price and trading-volume observations collected over 365 trading days.
