BlockBeats News, April 3rd, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated in its latest report that Tokenized Finance is not a simple upgrade of traditional finance, but a structural transformation. It replaces intermediaries with smart contracts and shared ledgers, restructuring the architecture of the global market. Currently, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has reached $27.5 billion, with over $12 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds.
The IMF points out that although tokenization can achieve near-instant settlement and 24/7 continuous trading, its speed, automation, and programmability may amplify systemic risks, swiftly spreading liquidity crises under market pressure, lacking the buffering effect of traditional settlement delays.
