IMF: Tokenized finance will reshape global markets, replacing intermediaries and triggering systemic risk

A report from the International Monetary Fund states that tokenized finance is a structural shift in the global financial system and highlights its risks, including liquidity crises, smart contract vulnerabilities, and procyclical effects. At present, tokenized assets are mainly driven by U.S. Treasury bonds, indicating institutional investors' demand for fixed-income products. However, fragmentation of tokenization platforms and regulatory challenges could affect financial stability. The report warns that if the pace of innovation outstrips regulatory capacity, risks will accumulate.

This lawsuit reflects regulatory actions by 11 states regarding prediction markets, each facing different legal challenges.
