ME News Report, April 3rd (UTC+8), 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 through smart contracts and shared ledgers, reconstructing the architecture of global markets. Currently, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has reached $27.5 billion, with tokenized U.S. Treasuries exceeding $12 billion. The IMF pointed out that while tokenization can achieve near-instant settlement and 24/7 around-the-clock trading, its speed, automation, and programmability may amplify systemic risks, rapidly spreading liquidity crises under market pressure, and lacking the buffering effect of traditional settlement delays.
