"Every stock, every bond, every fund—every asset—can be tokenized. If they are, it will revolutionize investing. Markets wouldn't need to close. Transactions that currently take days would clear in seconds. And billions of dollars currently immobilized by settlement delays could be reinvested immediately back into the economy, generating more growth."
Larry Fink
CEO of BlackRock
"…tokenization is not just about transforming how trades occur. It can also enable direct connectivity for proxy voting, dividend payments, and shareholder communications, reducing the need for multiple intermediaries in those processes as well."
Paul Atkins
SEC Chairman
"I’m the CEO of a Fortune 500 financial firm. My industry can no longer deny digital assets are the future.
We believe that the portfolios of the future will increasingly move away from today’s account-based system and rely instead on digital wallets that can hold a limitless number of tokenized assets in a single place – all of which can be transferred instantly, as well as lent out or staked for additional yield."
Larry Fink
CEO of BlackRock
"Our belief … is that pretty much all transactions will settle on blockchains eventually, and that all money will be digital."
Bill Winters
CEO of Standard Chartered
"Tokenization is like a freight train. It can’t be stopped, and eventually it’s going to eat the entire financial system."
