Standardization and Transparency in Tokenization of Assets
Tokenization of liquid assets aims to improve liquidity, transparency, and standardization in the financial market. By wrapping assets in a universal wrapper like the USC 20 standard, any wallet that supports the standard can hold the asset. This standardization enables uniformity in processes and easier distribution of products, enhancing the consumer experience. The transparency provided by public blockchains allows for better record-keeping and market participant understanding. Through tokenization, the financial industry can potentially reduce reconciliation efforts across databases and increase trust between market participants. The adoption of stablecoins has demonstrated the demand for standardized digital assets that can be accessed globally, bringing financial products to regions with currency instability.
