An interesting study has been released by Brickken. It turns out that issuers of real assets are companies that issue tokenized versions of their assets—approaching tokenization quite differently than we thought.

The point is that most issuers see this primarily as a tool for raising capital, not for creating liquidity. The survey showed: 53.8% of participants prioritize capital formation and fundraising efficiency. In comparison, only 15.4% focus on secondary liquidity. However, the paradox is that 46.2% still expect their assets to become liquid on secondary markets within a year or a year and a half.

Brickken’s marketing director noted a significant shift in perception. Tokenization is increasingly viewed not as an exotic tool but as a full-fledged layer of financial infrastructure. It solves real problems: facilitates access to capital, reduces operational complexity.

While issuers are figuring out their approach, major exchanges like CME, NYSE, and Nasdaq are already preparing infrastructure for 24/7 trading of tokenized assets. It’s clear that this involves expanding volumes and new revenue streams.

The statistics on readiness are impressive: 69.2% have already completed the tokenization process. But there’s a big downside—regulation. For 84.6% of respondents, it remains a serious obstacle.

Tokenization is already extending beyond real estate. Interest in stocks and intellectual property is growing. Experts emphasize: compliance with regulations must be built in from the start, not added later. And issuance infrastructure becomes the bridge connecting traditional finance with decentralized systems.
