Tokenized Stocks Show Real Demand But Remain Volatile and Illiquid, IMF Finds

🔍 Executive Brief:
The IMF reports that tokenized stocks, a $2.3 billion market, exhibit higher volatility and lower liquidity than traditional equities, with over 50% of trades occurring outside U.S. market hours. This indicates persistent demand but a fragmented, less efficient market structure.

📊 Trader Lens & Market Flow:
Liquidity gaps widen during U.S. sessions, forcing traders to rely on off‑hours venues and increasing price slippage, which in turn elevates futures open interest as hedgers seek more liquid instruments. Institutional positioning remains cautious, favoring traditional equity derivatives while cautiously allocating capital to tokenized assets for diversification and arbitrage opportunities.
