According to Securitize's CEO, the primary bottleneck in asset tokenization is not the supply of assets to tokenize, but rather the demand for these tokenized assets. The growth of traditional investors consuming tokenized assets without needing to understand the underlying blockchain technology is seen as a key future step.
“It's actually demand, yes. The supply side, I think today, everybody wants to tokenize everything, and I think that there's no bottleneck on supply of asset managers, banks, issues, etc. I want to tokenize things.”
“The bottleneck is in the consumption side, like who is actually buying those funds, who is actually trading them on chain, etc. This is still, for the most part, crypto audience.”
“I think the big step changes when the tokenized assets can be consumed by the traditional investors, that they don't have to actually know that something is on chain or something is tokenized to consume it.”
