The CFTC chairman says the market needs to prepare for "large-scale tokenization." Six months ago, it was still a term from exchange PowerPoint decks. Now regulators are saying it out loud—so the weight is different.
Then I saw that Arch Lending wants to turn tokenized stocks into collateral. My instinct was to frown—what makes collateral truly valuable is liquidation speed and legal enforcement. That on-chain layer of packaging won’t make bad debts vanish out of thin air. I’ve been writing code for 10 years; I’ve seen too many projects that are basically "repackaging."
But if they can actually make it work end-to-end, then I’ll give it to them. I’m still DCA-ing—my BTC position hasn’t moved a single cent.
What do you think: is this tokenization wave real demand, or just another round of narrative with a new skin?
