According to Foresight News, a recent survey by PwC indicates that approximately 41% of institutional investors have shown interest in tokenized products over the past 12 months. These products include tokenized gold, real estate, and other commodities. This growing interest highlights the potential for tokenization to become a significant bridge between traditional finance and digital assets in the coming years.
OSL's Executive Director and Head of Regulatory Affairs, Diao Jiajun, commented on the survey's findings, suggesting that tokenized products will play a crucial role in the integration of traditional finance with digital assets. He noted that the preferred tokenized assets are likely to be low-volatility, high-liquidity money market funds, followed by government bonds and high-credit-rated bonds. Additionally, the tokenization of structured products is expected to gradually emerge as a trend.
Diao also pointed out that due to the high distribution costs associated with these products, issuers are motivated to invest resources in improving infrastructure to enhance efficiency and market reach. This investment is anticipated to drive the development of the tokenization market, making it more accessible and appealing to a broader range of investors.
