A TechFunding News analysis published today argues that most banks choose tokenisation platforms incorrectly, treating the decision as purely technical rather than strategic.
The piece contends that in institutional settings, selecting a tokenisation platform becomes a governance decision, not just a technology one. The analysis does not cite specific banks or platforms by name.
Tokenisation platforms allow financial institutions to represent real-world assets as digital tokens on a blockchain, a growing area of interest for banks seeking efficiency and new revenue streams.
The analysis suggests that institutions should evaluate platforms based on compliance, interoperability, and long-term adaptability rather than short-term technical features.
As tokenisation gains traction, the counter_argument notes that many banks still struggle with regulatory uncertainty and legacy system integration, which may limit the impact of even well-chosen platforms.
