As more asset managers bring funds onchain, tokenization's impact on investors is becoming a central question in the market.
Centrifuge CEO @itsbhaji and @ThomasGSy of @NYLIManagement are speaking at @TheTieIO's The Bridge.
Are Tokenized Assets Better Investments, or Just Better Infrastructure?
Does tokenization deliver better liquidity, lower costs, and stronger returns, or simply improve how assets trade?
Join @stevenmcclurg (@CanaryFunds), @joechalom (@Sharplink), @itsbhaji (@centrifuge), @wbpeck (@WisdomTreeFunds), and @ThomasGSy (@nylimanagement) at The Bridge.

"We're not changing what we own. We're changing the rails those assets travel on."

Two days of the best conversations in this market, and some chocollateral posted all over the venue.
Day 1 at @RWAsummit, Brooklyn.

Tokenized assets should be accessible from wherever capital already sits.
Centrifuge and @lifiprotocol, the liquidity orchestration platform powering 1,000+ integrations, are making that easier.
Starting with deRWA, users can discover and access Centrifuge assets through products like Jumper and other LI.FI-powered interfaces, with swaps, bridging, and routing handled in the background.
A broader path for Centrifuge assets into the wallets, apps, and interfaces users already rely on.

Real-world assets taking the majority of trading volume on a major venue is a genuine milestone.
Onchain demand is rotating into tokenized assets.
INSIGHT: RWAs surpassed crypto assets in trading volume on @HyperliquidX for the first time last week, representing 54% of total volume.

Everyone agrees tokenized assets will scale. Whether the infrastructure underneath scales first is what decides if the growth is durable.
@nomos_paradox and @itsbhaji on the quiet work behind the scenes.

Stand With Crypto and over 200 organizations sent a simple message to Senate leadership: it's time for the Clarity Act.
The community is unified — large companies, startups, associations, and grassroots groups across the country are counting on their lawmakers to deliver rules of the road for crypto in America.
The Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan support.
Now it needs to cross the finish line. Tell your Senators you want Clarity 👇

WSJ: JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo are building a tokenized deposit network to compete with crypto.
The goal is to keep deposits inside the banking system while offering speed and 24/7 settlement.
The network will be operated by The Clearing House, and it sounds like the underlying blockchain hasn’t been selected yet.

Looking ahead, forecasts for tokenized assets vary a lot but they all point in the same direction: growth.
McKinsey: $2–4T by 2030.
Ark Invest: $11T by 2030.
BCG/Ripple: $9.4T by 2030, $18.9T by 2033.
Standard Chartered: $30T + by 2034.
The gap between $2 trillion and $30 trillion is more about definitions than adoption.
Different institutions are measuring different things. McKinsey focuses mostly on bonds, loans, funds, and equities. Standard Chartered adds commodities and trade finance. BCG and Ripple include deposits and stablecoins alongside more traditional asset categories.
Despite these differences, the broader trend is consistent: Asset tokenization is expected to expand.
