๐๏ธ WEF Davos Signals Tokenization as 2026 Priority
The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland has identified **tokenization and stablecoins** as key focus areas for 2026, with officials stating tokenization "will bring progress." **What tokenization enables:** - Converts real-world assets into digital instruments - Faster capital formation and broader investor access - Programmable ownership rules and compliance **Industry momentum building:** - Binance's CZ reports discussions with ~12 governments on asset tokenization - BlackRock's Larry Fink ($7.4T AUM) calls tokenization "necessary" - Over $210M in assets currently queued for tokenization **Key challenge identified:** Most projects require 6-10 vendors before launch, creating friction in legal, compliance, custody, and reporting. The shift moves beyond experimentation toward building compliant infrastructure for regulated markets. Tokenization removes legacy infrastructure constraints through faster settlement, programmable compliance, and divisible ownership - addressing structural inefficiencies in $300T+ real estate markets and rapidly growing private credit sectors.
