Abstract generation in progress

Mars Finance news, on April 3, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its latest report that tokenized finance (Tokenized Finance) is not a simple upgrade of traditional finance, but a structural shift. By replacing intermediaries with smart contracts and shared ledgers, it is reshaping the architecture of global markets. At present, the size of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has reached $27.5 billion, including more than $12 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasuries. The IMF noted that while tokenization can enable near-instant settlement and 24/7 trading, its speed, automation, and programmability may amplify systemic risks, quickly spreading a liquidity crisis under market stress, with no buffering effect from traditional settlement delays.
