IMF annual meeting hitting Bangkok Oct 12-18. Right before the event, they dropped a blog warning on Tokenization.
Their take: Market's still small, fragmented, illiquid. More volatile than TradFi. Four bottlenecks—legal frameworks, regulations, interoperability, settlement assets.
The kicker? They're not worried about risks NOW. They're worried about what happens when this market SCALES.
Translation: IMF sees tokenization going parabolic but wants guardrails before liquidity floods in. Regulatory FUD incoming or preemptive positioning for institutional onramp?
Either way, if legacy finance is this nervous, you know the opportunity is real. 👀
