Tokenized assets go institutional, quietly

Today: tokenization of funds, treasuries, and private assets is moving from pilots to real institutional volume, far from the retail-crypto spotlight.

The next five years: settlement that takes days collapses toward instant, and traditionally illiquid assets gain programmable, fractional liquidity. Adoption is led by established financial institutions, not disruptors.

The AI relation: AI sits alongside, not at the center — automating compliance, valuation, and risk on programmable assets that can now be monitored continuously.

Signal: watch tokenization for settlement speed and liquidity, not for hype. The winners wear suits and never say "crypto."
