Survey reveals RWA issuers favor capital formation over liquidity
- 53.8% of real-world asset (RWA) issuers prioritize capital formation and fundraising efficiency for tokenization.
- Only 15.4% cited the need for liquidity as their main incentive for tokenizing assets.
- 69.2% of respondents have completed the tokenization process and are operational.
- 53.8% reported that regulatory issues slow down their operations, with a total of 84.6% facing some regulatory drag.
- Tokenization is expanding beyond real estate, with only about 10.7% of assets being related to real estate compared to higher percentages in equities and IP assets.
The shift towards using tokenization as a financial infrastructure layer indicates that issuers are focused on solving practical challenges such as capital access and operational complexity rather than immediate liquidity needs.
With a significant majority prioritizing capital formation, the findings suggest that liquidity will evolve alongside issuance volume and institutional adoption.(Source)
