Real World Assets Tokenization Focuses on Capital Formation Over Liquidity, Brickken Survey Shows

Majority of RWA Issuers Prioritize Capital Raising Over Secondary Market Liquidity

A recent survey by the Brickken team shows that 53.8% of asset issuers use tokenization for capital raising and efficient fundraising. Two points connect: 15.4% of participants see liquidity as their main goal, while 38.4% state they do not need liquidity now.

Issuers expect a growth in secondary market liquidity in six to twelve months. They work first on clear rules, issuance steps, and full compliance. These steps come before a focus on liquidity.

Expansion of Tokenized Asset Trading and Market Infrastructure

Leading U.S. markets like CME Group, NYSE, and Nasdaq push for nonstop trading of tokenized stocks and derivatives. They change their trading methods to boost trade numbers and income. Their methods respond more to business needs than to immediate issuer demand.

Jordi Esturi, Brickken’s Chief Marketing Officer, explains how a solid, compliant issuance system links tokenized assets with trading systems. These systems join the world of old finance with the newer finance form. A steady flow of quality tokens keeps trading systems active.

Regulatory Challenges Are the Main Obstacle in RWA Tokenization

Regulatory issues now hold back asset tokenization. In the survey, 84.6% of issuers report face-to-face rules that slow progress. A key figure is 53.8% who feel these rules slow down work. Only 13% name technical problems as their main worry.

Issuers build compliance into project plans from the start. They ask for legal rules that match each token project in shape and scope.

RWA Tokenization Expands Beyond Real Estate Across Diverse Asset Classes

The same survey shows that tokenization grows past real estate. Real estate makes up 10.7% of tokenized assets today. Equities and shares lead at 28.6%, while intellectual property and entertainment hold 17.9%. Other areas join the field, such as:

• Technology platforms (31.6%)
• Entertainment (15.8%)
• Private credit (15.8%)
• Renewable energy (5.3%)
• Banking (5.3%)
• Carbon assets (5.2%)
• Aerospace (5.3%)
• Hospitality (5.2%)

This shift shows a move to digitize many classic assets for better capital access and smoother operations.

Summary: Tokenization Progress Anchored in Capital Formation and Regulatory Compliance

The survey paints a clear picture today:
• Most issuers see capital raising as the main aim; they put secondary market moves on hold.
• Regulatory limits push issuers to build compliant projects from the start.
• A robust market system is needed to link traditional finance with new digital tokens.
• Tokenization spreads into fields beyond real estate. It now touches equities, intellectual property, and emerging sectors.
• Moves by top exchanges toward round-the-clock token trading set a path for future market links.

As real assets shift to digital form, these points mark a field that builds rule-based and system-based links between established finance and its modern form.
