ME News Update: On April 3 (UTC+8), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its latest report that tokenized finance is not a simple upgrade of traditional finance, but a structural shift. By replacing intermediaries with smart contracts and shared ledgers, it reconfigures the architecture of global markets. At present, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has reached $275 billion, including tokenized U.S. Treasuries of more than $120 billion. The IMF noted that although tokenization can enable near-instant settlement and 24/7 round-the-clock trading, its speed, automation, and programmability may amplify systemic risks, quickly spreading liquidity crises under market pressure, with no buffering effect from traditional settlement delays.
