Tokenized assets are increasingly becoming a significant part of investment portfolios, moving beyond mere concepts as major financial institutions like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity Investments have begun launching blockchain-based products, including Treasury funds and private credit strategies. As clients inquire about these assets, advisors must understand how compliance architecture influences their integration into portfolios. The compliance question is crucial; it can be embedded within the token or managed externally, each method presenting unique challenges. Currently, deposits of tokenized real-world assets in decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols have surpassed $840 million, showcasing how traditional finance strategies are being executed in a more efficient manner. However, gaps remain, particularly with corporate actions and illiquid assets. The evolving landscape of tokenization also introduces new risk assessment frameworks, providing transparency and enabling advisors to create risk-adjusted portfolios. As tokenization continues to mature, it holds the potential to attract younger generations into investing, aligning with their expectations for modern financial systems.
