a16z crypto: Not all tokenized assets truly and equally exist on the chain

Abstract generation in progress
Golden Finance reports that on May 27th, a16z crypto posted on X platform stating that not all tokenized assets truly and equally exist on the chain. Bonds are the largest tokenized asset class to date, with a market cap of $15.2 billion, but only about 5% of this supply is used in DeFi. The situation with precious metals is similar: they are on the chain, but mostly idle. Smaller categories differ. Reinsurance tokens have 84% of their supply deployed in DeFi, while private credit has a ratio of 33%. This makes sense: these categories with the highest DeFi usage were built for DeFi from the start, such as through protocols like Nexus Mutual and Maple Finance. Today, many practices labeled as "tokenization" are actually closer to digitization: simply transferring records onto the blockchain without unlocking more new features. This is important because one of the core value propositions of on-chain financial systems is composability.
