IMF Acknowledges Tokenization Benefits but Warns of Financial Stability Risks
- —Over 50% of tokenized equity trades occur outside traditional trading hours
- —About 80% of orders in the IMF sample are for less than one share
- —IMF sets four conditions: legal rights, clear rules, interoperable infrastructure, safe settlement
- —Automation can accelerate forced selling when prices fall and collateral runs short
Why it matters: The IMF is shaping the regulatory framework for tokenization, which will set the rules for the RWA market and stablecoins.
