Tokenization keeps winning. Token prices, meanwhile, seem to have missed the memo. Over the last three years, on-chain real-world assets have exploded from roughly $1 billion to $30 billion as stocks, bonds, treasuries, real estate, and other traditional financial instruments steadily migrate onto blockchain rails. That’s a 30x expansion in what many believe could become the foundation layer of future finance.
The latest developments only strengthen that argument. Industry executives recently pointed to stablecoins becoming invisible financial infrastructure, with examples including stablecoin-powered remittances between the United States and India. The bigger opportunity, however, may be tokenization opening global access to U.S. capital markets alongside 24/7 trading.
Meanwhile, tokenization firm Securitize is preparing to raise approximately $400 million through its SPAC merger ahead of its expected NYSE debut under ticker SECZ on July 2.
Adding to the momentum, the DTCC confirmed a one-day tokenization interoperability test event for July 13 across two blockchains, with a full-scale rollout targeted for October 2026.
Yet tokenization-related cryptocurrencies continue struggling to attract similar enthusiasm. Some market participants like TedPillows argue the problem is simple: not every crypto project needs a token.
One example frequently discussed is ONDO. Despite growth in total value locked and revenue reaching record highs, critics argue the token lacks direct value accrual mechanisms that benefit holders.
Supply dynamics haven’t helped either. Nearly 20% of ONDO’s total supply unlocked in January 2026, with another major unlock expected next year.
That combination may explain why tokenization narratives continue booming while several related crypto assets remain far below previous highs.
Infrastructure can thrive. Revenue can grow. Institutions can arrive. But if a token doesn’t capture the value being created, markets eventually notice the difference. For tokenization crypto projects, that distinction may matter more than the technology itself.
