BlackRock CEO optimistic about the $20 trillion tokenization market, calls for improved regulatory framework

According to ChainCatcher, DL News reported that BlackRock CEO Larry Fink once again strongly endorsed asset tokenization technology, believing it can effectively lower the investment threshold and enable more ordinary people to participate in the capital markets.

Fink pointed out that currently nearly half of Americans do not participate in public market investments, and the development of artificial intelligence will further exacerbate wealth concentration issues, with tokenization possibly being the key to solving this problem. BlackRock predicts that the tokenization market will reach $20 trillion by 2030, covering traditional financial assets such as stocks, ETF, indexes, and commodities. At present, some exchanges and institutions have already launched tokenized stock products. Fink also emphasized that market development still depends on the establishment of a clear regulatory framework, including buyer protection mechanisms, counterparty risk standards, and digital identity verification systems.
