Institutional Tokenization: Are we ready to scale?
summary
Institutions aim to move securities on-chain to cut chains of intermediaries (typically two or three global custodians), use stablecoins as a settlement layer, and unlock private-market liquidity that may represent roughly 50% of GDP in some regions. Europe has MiCA and a DLT Pilot Regime but restrictive level‑2 RTS and thresholds make business models unprofitable; only about 18 bonds issued on chain so far. Scaling stalls on regulatory prescriptiveness, interoperability gaps, and cultural “dependency traps,” not purely on blockchain performance.
