#IMFWarnsTokenizationShiftsRiskToCode The IMF says tokenization could change the architecture of the financial system.

The important point is not only faster settlement or lower friction. When assets, payments, and settlement move onto shared ledgers, financial risk can also move from institutional balance sheets toward platforms, code, and market infrastructure.

That creates a different kind of financial system. Traditional markets are slow, but the delay also provides buffers through clearing, reconciliation, reporting cycles, and liquidity management. Tokenized markets can compress these steps into moments.

This can reduce counterparty risk and operational friction, but it also makes infrastructure more critical. Settlement assets, platform governance, interoperability, legal finality, and real-time oversight become central to market stability.

Tokenization does not just put financial assets onchain. It changes where the financial system carries risk.
