Why Is Tokenization a Big Deal for Traditional Finance?

[nihalsari]

Tokenization has become a major focus for traditional finance because it promises better liquidity, faster settlement, and round-the-clock access to capital markets. By putting assets like funds or deposits onchain, institutions can potentially unlock 24/7 liquidity and streamline processes that are slow or fragmented in legacy systems.

This shift isn’t happening in isolation. Other major players such as Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan have already launched tokenized money market funds, while firms like BlackRock have introduced crypto-linked ETFs—signaling that tokenization is moving firmly into the financial mainstream.
