Tokenization has made it easier for overseas investors to own assets like Manhattan real estate, but selling remains challenging. CEO Carlos Domingo of Securitize highlighted the importance of liquidity in asset tokenization, noting that illiquid assets remain difficult to sell even when digitized.

Domingo emphasized that digital assets inherit the illiquidity of their physical counterparts, making immediate sales without losses challenging. While the technology may evolve to address this, current focus is on amplifying liquidity for assets like cash and U.S. Treasuries, with stablecoins becoming a prominent $300 billion market corner.

BlackRock’s Fink and Goldstein believe tokenization could revolutionize market infrastructure, expanding the range of investable assets. Securitize, involved in BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, has helped create a $2 billion product operating across blockchains. The potential for tokenization to democratize access to asset classes like real estate is recognized by industry leaders.
