Deutsche Bank sees tokenization moving into mainstream finance

• Deutsche Bank published three reports examining tokenization’s potential to reshape financial infrastructure, payments and global capital flows.
• Adoption is expanding beyond Treasury products and money market funds into broader market infrastructure, though tokenized assets remain small relative to traditional markets.
• Tokenized money could reduce payment and settlement friction; interoperability, liquidity and governance remain significant hurdles.
• Easier access to tokenized assets could attract global investment as countries compete for funding for AI infrastructure and strategic industries.
• Tokenization is expected to modernize financial infrastructure rather than eliminate intermediaries.
