Citrini Research predicts tokenization will become finance's primary use case for blockchains

Citrini Research argues that tokenization is finally providing a 'raison d'être' for blockchains by moving traditional financial assets like stocks, bonds and U.S. Treasuries onto crypto rails. The report highlights that once assets are onchain, they can behave like software, moving between applications and serving as collateral without platforms needing to rebuild custody from scratch. This shift is supported by the maturation of stablecoins, wallets, exchanges and DeFi protocols, as well as clearer regulatory paths for tokenized securities.
