🪙 Asset Managers Embrace Tokenization - Insights from PwC's Latest Report

A new PwC report reveals that tokenization is emerging as a game-changing force in asset and wealth management. 80% of surveyed managers confirm that disruptive technologies like blockchain are not only enhancing operational efficiency but also driving innovation, revenue growth, and workforce productivity. At the forefront of this transformation are tokenized investment products, which are projected to grow from ~$40 billion to $317 billion by 2028, representing an extraordinary CAGR of 50%.

Why Tokenization Matters

The explosive rise of tokenized assets is driven by their ability to:

  • Unlock Liquidity: Fractional ownership makes traditionally illiquid assets accessible to more investors.

  • Enhance Transparency: Blockchain’s immutable records build trust and streamline reporting.

  • Broaden Access: Tokenization is democratizing investments, especially in alternative funds like real estate, private equity, and commodities.

Tokenization isn’t just a technological trend—it’s a strategic shift reshaping how asset managers approach investment, with massive implications for the future of the industry.
