The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns about the systemic risks posed by the growing tokenization of real-world assets, which has reached approximately $27.5 billion. In its report "Tokenized Finance," the IMF highlights the rapid growth of tokenized U.S. Treasuries and the $1.8 trillion monthly processing volume of stablecoins as potential threats to global financial stability. The IMF's chief financial counselor, Tobias Adrian, warns that the speed of tokenized transactions could exacerbate financial crises by eliminating traditional safety buffers.The report draws parallels between the current tokenization trend and the securitization wave of the 2000s, which contributed to the global financial crisis. The IMF identifies concentration risks and the vulnerability of stablecoins, particularly those pegged to the U.S. dollar, as critical concerns. The report suggests a five-pillar policy plan to mitigate these risks, including anchoring tokenized settlements in wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and enforcing consistent regulation.Despite the IMF's warnings, institutional players like NYSE and Nasdaq are advancing tokenization infrastructure, with projects underway to integrate tokenized securities into traditional markets. The IMF's report underscores the need for regulatory frameworks to keep pace with technological advancements in the financial sector.
