IMF finds demand for tokenized stocks, says the market is still volatile, illiquid

Tokenized stocks are already delivering two of crypto’s long-promised benefits: round-the-clock trading and the ability to buy a fraction of a share. They are also markedly less liquid and more volatile than the conventional equities they track, according to a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) study . The IMF’s latest Global Financial Stability Report, titled Scaling Tokenization: New efficiencies and new vulnerabilities, examines the five most actively traded tokenized U.S. equities, including Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA) and Alphabet (GOOG) as well as measures such as the Nasdaq 100 Index, across centralized and decentralized venues.
