Citi: Up to 77% of Institutions Expected to Use Tokenized Collateral by 2026

  • —Up to 77% of institutions plan to use tokenized collateral by 2026
  • —About 25% of collateral sits idle due to settlement schedules and operational friction
  • —Inefficiency costs a Tier 1 institution roughly $346 million a year
  • —Around 5% of repo volume is already transacted in tokenized form
Why it matters: Tokenized collateral speeds up settlement and frees capital, potentially accelerating institutional inflows into blockchain infrastructure.
