Asset Tokenization Offers Benefits But Faces Challenges -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/28 10:371037 GMT - Tokenization, which creates digital units of value on a blockchain to represent ownership of an asset, offers operational efficiencies but also faces some limiting factors, HSBC digital asset analysts say in a note. This only makes sense if it brings demonstrable advantages over the current way of issue, trading and redeeming assets, they say. The benefits of tokenization include faster settlement times, 24/7 trading, less reconciliation, greater programmability, lower minimum investment sizes and potentially wider and more continuous market access, they say. Challenges include risks related to the technology underpinning tokenization, legal enforceability and limited secondary market liquidity, they say. "For now, tokenization therefore must coexist with much of the legacy financial infrastructure it ultimately seeks to improve." (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
