Tokenized Assets Break Traditional ETF Barriers with 24/7 Liquidity
**Tokenization is solving key limitations** that have long constrained traditional ETFs, according to COO Jürgen Blumberg. **Breaking the 9-to-5 barrier:** Unlike traditional assets bound by market hours, tokenized assets offer **"always liquid"** trading capabilities. **Expanding beyond liquid instruments:** While ETFs are restricted to liquid instruments only, tokenization enables **"different liquidity profiles"** - unlocking access to new asset classes. **The result?** More diversified returns and investment opportunities previously unavailable through traditional ETF structures.
