Episode Details

DeFi’s tokenized asset utilization numbers are wildly inconsistent—ranging from 1% to 11%—but the real figure may be closer to 20%. The gap stems from how we measure: many tokenized assets were never meant to move, held for publicity or off-exchange use, invisible to traditional trackers. When you factor in the assets actually working behind the scenes, usage spikes. But the real bottleneck isn’t tokenization—it’s settlement speed. Crypto-native assets trade instantly; tokenized real-world assets often settle T+1 or T+2, crippling fast DeFi loops. New protocols are tackling this delay. The key isn’t how much is tokenized, but how quickly it can be deployed and redeemed. As regulations evolve and settlement improves, we’ll see their true value emerge.
