Securitize CEO Says WSJ Anti-Tokenization Ad Actually Helps Regulated Firms

Tokenization refers to converting ownership rights in assets like funds, bonds, or equities into digital tokens recorded on a blockchain. Proponents say the technology can improve settlement speed, lower costs, and widen access to investment products. Critics have raised concerns about investor protection, custody risks, and whether tokenized products carry the same legal guarantees as traditional securities. Domingo's argument rests on a distinction between regulated and unregulated tokenization efforts. He suggests that public skepticism, even when framed critically, draws attention to the difference between compliant platforms and less accountable actors.
