๐Ÿšจ HOT: IMF Warns Tokenization Shifts Financial Risk From Institutions to Code $BTC $NEAR $AAVE The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cautioned that while tokenization has the potential to make financial markets faster, more transparent, and more efficient, it also shifts key risks from traditional financial intermediaries to smart contracts, software code, and digital infrastructure. According to the IMF, tokenized assets and blockchain-based financial systems could reduce settlement times and operational costs, but vulnerabilities in code, cybersecurity, governance, and platform design may create new systemic risks if not properly managed. The organization stressed that strong regulation, rigorous smart contract audits, and global standards will be essential as tokenized finance continues to expand. As governments, banks, and financial institutions accelerate the adoption of tokenized assets, the IMF's warning highlights the importance of balancing innovation with security to protect investors and maintain financial stability. {future}(BTCUSDT) {future}(NEARUSDT) {future}(AAVEUSDT) #IMF #Tokenization #SamsungToRaiseDRAMPricesAbout20%InQ3 #IMFWarnsTokenizationShiftsRiskToCode

๐ŸŸ  IMF warns: tokenization shifts power from banks to unregulated code The IMF is sounding the alarm: tokenization, the technology underpinning crypto, could move risks away from traditional banks and dump them into lines of code operating outside the regulatory perimeter. This is happening as giants like BlackRock move trillions onto blockchains. The IMF fears this new financial infrastructure could buckle under pressure. Tokenization removes the delays inherent in traditional finance, which acts as a safety brake during crises. Instant settlement via smart contracts means that failures or panic can spread like a wildfire before anyone can respond. The danger, the IMF warns, is shifting from institutions to the platforms themselves and the code, requiring that oversight extends to the code. Some smart contracts may become too central to ignore, repeating the crisis of โ€œtoo big to fail,โ€ which triggered the 2008 bailout, while ownership of tokenized assets remains legally murky. ๐Ÿ“Š This IMF warning could deter institutions that are hesitant to adopt RWA, potentially slowing institutional flows into tokenized assets and stablecoins in the short term. However, it also highlights the need for clear regulatory frameworks thatโ€”once setโ€”can accelerate adoption.

๐ŸŒ IMF Extends Support to Ukraine: A Strategic Move Despite Missed Deadlines In a significant diplomatic and economic development, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to release the next loan tranche to Ukraine, despite Kyiv missing a key structural condition set by the lender. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’ฐ The Key Details: The Compromise: The IMF has permitted Ukraine to postpone the introduction of a new tax on overseas parcels until July.

The Bigger Picture: This agreement, worth approximately $700 million, signals that the IMF is prioritizing Ukraine's macroeconomic stability during the ongoing war over strict adherence to every single reform milestone right now.

IMF warns of prolonged inflation, market begins to bet on the possibility of Fed rate hikesOne of the most notable macro changes this week comes from the IMF's new outlook. The organization suggests that the Fed may need more time than anticipated to bring inflation back to the 2% target, and the market has started to price in the likelihood of another rate hike. According to the IMF, the timeline for US inflation to drop back to 2% has now been pushed to late 2027 instead of mid-2027 as previously forecasted. This indicates that inflationary pressures are more persistent than expected, despite the prolonged tightening cycle over the past few years.

๐Ÿ“ฐ Crypto Market Hotspot Briefing 1. IMF Focuses on Tokenizationโ€™s Efficiency Gains and Emerging Risks A senior official from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently said that tokenization could reshape the foundation of financial market infrastructure. By integrating assets, settlement, and bookkeeping into a shared ledger, processes that previously took a long time could be compressed to near real-time, with payment, clearing, and settlement efficiency expected to improve significantly. However, risks may also shift from traditional intermediaries to smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and the service providers themselves. If the industry lacks unified technical standards and coordinated regulation, incompatibilities between different platforms could lead to market fragmentation and further amplify systemic risk. 2. Tokenization May Reshape Financial System Architecture; Buffering Mechanisms Come Under Scrutiny Beyond efficiency gains, the IMF also emphasized that tokenization is not merely a technical upgradeโ€”it may drive changes in how the global financial system operates. After transaction execution, clearing, and settlement are integrated into a single ledger, automation levels are likely to increase, and friction costs in financial activities may decline. At the same time, some risk isolation and buffering mechanisms within the traditional financial system could be weakened. Going forward, as the industry pursues efficiency, how to balance security, interoperability, and regulatory consistency will be a key focus. 3. Extended Completes a $12.5 Million Funding Round; On-Chain Derivatives Segment Draws Attention Extended, an on-chain perpetual futures exchange, has recently completed a $12.5 million funding round led by eToro, with participation from Jump Crypto.

Nigeria recorded $59B in crypto inflows over the past year, with stablecoins accounting for the majority of cross-border activity across Sub-Saharan Africa.
