Tokenization Doesn’t Fix Illiquid Assets: PBW 2026

Cointelegraph
Industry experts at Paris Blockchain Week argue that tokenizing assets does not inherently create liquidity for traditionally illiquid products.

Summary

At Paris Blockchain Week, industry executives clarified that tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) like real estate and private credit does not automatically generate secondary market liquidity. Panelists including Oya Celiktemur of Ondo Finance and Francesco Ranieri Fabracci of Tether emphasized that liquidity depends on the nature of the underlying asset rather than its presence on a blockchain. While the tokenized RWA market grew to nearly $30 billion by April 2026, growth remains concentrated in standardized, already-liquid assets like US Treasury debt, while traditionally illiquid sectors continue to face limited trading activity.
