PANews reported on April 3rd, citing AMB Crypto, that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that tokenized finance could fundamentally reshape the global financial system, while introducing new systemic risks due to its speed and automation. Tokenization shifts trust from traditional intermediaries to smart contracts and shared ledgers, enabling near-instant settlement and 24/7 market activity, but also eliminating buffers in traditional finance. Automatic margin calls, real-time settlement, and programmable fund flows could accelerate liquidity stresses during market volatility, and smart contract vulnerabilities could spread rapidly, affecting multiple participants. Currently, tokenized real-world assets amount to approximately $27.5 billion, with US Treasury products dominating (over $12 billion). The IMF emphasizes that the long-term impact of tokenization depends on risk management at both the technological and regulatory levels.
