Tokenization’s Real Problem: Who Will Actually Buy?
At the Point Zero Forum 2026, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou highlighted a critical shift in the RWA sector from technical feasibility to the challenge of generating genuine market demand. While institutions and regulators are actively tokenizing bonds, properties, and portfolios, Zhou argues that the industry currently suffers from an oversupply of tokenized assets without a corresponding base of active buyers. He emphasizes that simply placing assets on-chain does not guarantee liquidity or trading volume, which remain the primary hurdles for sustainable growth. Exchanges are evolving into comprehensive financial super-apps that integrate AI to simplify complex on-chain interactions for retail users. Zhou contends that intermediaries and centralized platforms will remain essential to provide trust, custody, and regulatory enforcement in a tokenized economy. By focusing on user-friendly wrappers and personalized wealth management, exchanges aim to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain systems. Ultimately, the industry must pivot from a 'tokenize-first' mentality to one that prioritizes real-world utility and buyer engagement to ensure long-term viability.
Tokenized Stocks Triple Holder Count Since January as Transfer Volume Hits Record $2.2B
Tokenized stocks have achieved a significant milestone by reaching a weekly transfer volume of $2.2 billion across all blockchain networks. This surge in activity coincides with a threefold increase in the total number of holders compared to the previous year. The rapid growth in throughput indicates a maturing ecosystem where decentralized and centralized exchanges are increasingly integrating traditional equity assets. By facilitating higher liquidity and broader market participation, these tokenized instruments are bridging the gap between legacy financial markets and digital asset infrastructure. The sustained rise in user adoption suggests that investors are becoming more comfortable with on-chain representations of traditional stocks. This trend is critical for the RWA market as it demonstrates the scalability and utility of tokenized securities in real-world trading environments. Ultimately, the increased volume and holder count validate the demand for 24/7 accessible, programmable equity exposure within the broader crypto landscape.
