Among the forces driving thistransformation is the rise of distributedledger technology (DLT) and tokenization –innovations that have the ability to offer fastertransactions, improved efficiency and greatertransparency across asset classes. Withstrong momentum towards regulatoryclarity and increasing technological maturity,the tokenization of financial assets is wellpositioned to support the next generationof value exchange in banking andcapital markets.Global stakeholders are now commonlydistinguishing between attention-grabbingcryptocurrencies and the underlyingtechnology, fuelling a renewed era of public–private cooperation focused on scalingtokenization in a safe and compliant manner.Yet progress in financial infrastructure isinherently gradual. History reflects this in themulti-decade transition from paper-basedcertificates to electronic book entries followingthe 1960s Paperwork Crisis. While thechanges will not be immediate, financialmarkets may be approaching another majorphase in the development of their architecture,powered this time by tokenization.Today’s global financial system relies onfragmented, message-based integrations toreconcile ownership and transfers across independent networks. In contrast,tokenization – enabled by programmableledgers and smart contracts – offers thepotential for unified systems of record, flexiblecustody models and on-chain governance.These capabilities unlock new possibilitiesfor real-time settlement, fractional ownership,asset composability and more resilientmarket design.In this context, the World Economic Forumhas collaborated with Accenture to examinethe role of asset tokenization in financialmarkets. The report that follows is the resultof this joint effort. Over the past year, weanalysed asset classes ranging from equitiesto alternative investments to develop ataxonomy of tokenization models and thedifferentiation they provide. While tokenizationis expected to scale, realizing its full impact willrequire sustained public–private coordinationand a phased, risk-aware approach. We hopethat the insights shared in this report serveas a valuable foundation for informed decision-making and encourage continuedcollaboration across the financial ecosystem.Finally, we extend our sincere gratitude to themany experts who contributed to this analysis.Their insights and perspectives, offeredthrough interviews, workshops and writtenreviews, have been instrumental in shaping thefindings of this report. Executive summaryExecutivesummaryThis report employed a globalmultistakeholder approachto exploring the potentialimpacts of asset tokenizationon financial markets.Tokenization presents a transformativedigital asset ownership model, fundamentallyreshaping global financial markets. Wheneffectively implemented, tokenization cansignificantly enhance transparency,accessibility, operational and cost efficiencyand market flexibility, allowing participantsto transact at any time and anywhere. Thecore advantage of tokenization lies indemocratizing financial market access,enabled by trusted infrastructure. Flexible custo
