ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Cointelegraph, NYDIG Global Research Director Greg Cipolaro stated that the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) such as stocks still brings limited direct benefits to the crypto market and blockchain networks in the initial stages, but as accessibility, interoperability, and composability improve, its long-term value is expected to be gradually released.
Cipolaro pointed out that the main source of short-term revenue for blockchain networks comes from the transaction fees generated by tokenized assets, as well as the network effects accumulated by the custody of these assets. As tokenized assets become more deeply integrated into the blockchain ecosystem, their roles as collateral, lending assets, or trading targets in DeFi scenarios will significantly enhance the benefits to related networks.
He believes that tokenization is becoming an important trend. As the regulatory environment gradually clarifies and infrastructure continues to improve, the usage scenarios of RWA such as stocks on the chain are expected to expand. However, the forms of tokenized assets currently vary greatly, and most still rely on compliance structures within the traditional financial system, such as KYC, whitelist wallets, and transfer agents, which limits their combinability.
Cipolaro pointed out that although the current economic impact of traditional encrypted assets is not yet significant, if future regulations become more open and tokenized assets achieve broader democratic access, their coverage and on-chain value capture ability will be significantly enhanced, making it worthwhile for investors to continue paying attention.
