🇺🇸 Tokenization could become the foundation of a new financial system
Chapter CFTC Chairman Michael Selig made a bold statement about the future of financial markets. At the Treasury Market Conference on September 22, he named the tokenization of real assets as one of the key financial innovations.
What could this change in practice? 👇
🔹 Settlements — practically instant.
Blockchain can reduce the time between a trade and final settlement.
🔹 Collateral — in real time.
Tokenized assets can be moved faster between clearing organizations, intermediaries, and market participants.
🔹 Finance 24/7.
The CFTC is already considering a shift of certain markets to continuous trading, clearing, and settlement.
Selig compared the potential impact of tokenization to the shift from manual trading to electronic trading. This is not only about cryptocurrencies—the technology can be applied to different asset classes.
The most interesting part: the CFTC is already working on rules for tokenized collateral and digital assets.
💡 If this scenario plays out, blockchain will become not just a part of the crypto market, but the infrastructure of traditional finance.
