Tokenization Standards: Missing Link for Institutional Adoption

The tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) is revolutionizing finance, unlocking liquidity, transparency, and accessibility. However, regulatory clarity and fragmented Token Standards remain the biggest hurdles for institutional adoption.

Key Insights:

1. Market Growth – The tokenized asset market is projected to reach $16.1T by 2030, driven by Securities, Stablecoins, and Debt Instruments adoption.

2. Regulation as a Catalyst – MiCAR in the EU and MiFID II are shaping the compliance landscape, while Swiss-compliant standards (CMTAT) and on-chain KYC/AML mechanisms (ERC-3643, ERC-1400) are defining the future.

3. Interoperability & Compliance – Universal DLT token standards are critical for institutional adoption, enabling cross-chain settlement, automated compliance, and on-chain identity management.
