Now I understand why Wall Street is pushing tokenization, they’re slowly losing

[Kasabus]

After seeing how Coinbase added 2,772 BTC in Q3 and outperformed Wall Street’s profit expectations, I kinda get why traditional finance is now obsessed with tokenizing stocks.

It feels like Wall Street knows they’re slowly becoming outdated. While crypto companies like Coinbase are actually growing and building real value through Bitcoin and blockchain, traditional finance is trying to copy the tech, but still keep it centralized.

So now they want to tokenize stocks, bonds, and other assets just to stay relevant. But in reality, it’s still the same system, just dressed up in “blockchain” form.

What do you guys think, is tokenization really innovation, or is it just Wall Street’s way of admitting they’re getting left behind by real crypto adoption?

I think Wall Street simply sees tokenization as an opportunity that has already proven its effectiveness. Considering that the entire Wall Street philosophy is built around making more money, they’re adopting this approach because they already understand its potential. I think the fact that they started using tokenization relatively recently has its own explanation, based on deep analysis.

It's simply adapting to the times. What's this about only being able to buy or sell stocks in 2025 during the same week hours as 50 years ago? Cryptocurrencies can be traded 24/7/365. Wall Street has realized this and doesn't want to be left behind. Tokenization is the most logical solution.

Is Coinbase finally building a Bitcoin reserve?

It has not. It is part of the RWA buzzword designed to trick retail into giving away their money.

Perhaps, but the benefits of that are limited and possibly damaging. Who benefits from this 24/7/365 trading? Does it cause more anxiety, worry and damage during unpredictable market behavior? This primarily leads to the enrichment of the middleman (like exchanges) and other large companies like those that facilitate automated trading. It is a downside for regular humans as they are no longer able to plug out. Anyhow, tokenization just for the sake of tokenizing something is fairly useless besides this point. Imagine you had a ledger and now you copied everything into a secondary ledger. Now every time something changes you just have to maintain both ledgers.

Digitization of everything through native issuance of stocks and assets could provide benefits. The traditional system has way too many middleman and inefficiencies, but very few are pursuing this because it is difficult. Wrapped tokenization is easy.

Yep. Profit all the way or profit almost all the way for em - the choice is simple in fact.

Was it already approved or still in the process? I’ve heard about that too, they’re planning to tokenize stocks. I don’t think it’s meant to compete with crypto trading, but more like a move to maximize their income. Whether we like it or not, stocks aren’t as speculative as Bitcoin or other crypto assets. So maybe what they’re doing is just shifting to a better system using blockchain and seeing if it’ll work for them.

I do fall into the category that thinks the latter - they want a scoop of the pie too, and if it needs some "blockchain" wrap up for it, they have all the funds and influence to do it.

They may think that tokenization will save them but I doubt it will, they should stop hiding and come out open and embrace Bitcoin because whatever token they release to the public will just be seen as another shitcoin.  They will make money off the gullible but time have a way of proving that Bitcoin is the only thing that worth investing and holding for long. The solution they need is to build a Bitcoin reserve simple.

wall street and banks are slowly incorporating crypto into their system after years of rejecting it because now they have no choice but to go with the flow or else they will be left behind they are losing innovative ideas so they stick with crypto now

I think they are tokenizing to make how stocks can be traded like crypto tokens are traded freely in the market. It's not about innovation, but rather how stocks can be traded more freely and so that people can access, buy, and sell shares easily and participate in markets 24/7.

This step is like what is done by several CEXs who have stock tokenization on their platforms. And it's possible that Wall Street sees that this is an opportunity to maximize the functionality of their trading market.

I do not know what's giving you the idea that Wall Street or stocks are becoming irrelevant or outdated, but it's not true. A lot of the whales in Bitcoin are people who hold shares in various companies, which means even the people who hold Bitcoin are Wall Street guys. Even the coinbase you're talking about is a publicly traded company. Its currency is trading at 358 dollars per share right now, that's Wall Street.
What I am trying to say is that it's not "Wall Street or bitcoin", and Wall Street will never be irrelevant as long as there are publicly traded companies. The fact that you're not in that market doesn't mean it's no longer relevant. They are allowed to evolve or adapt, and that is simply what I feel they're doing with the tokenisation.

Approval is not difficult to get for tokenization because it is essentially just a duplicate ledger of an existing ledger. There are many companies and projects that work on this with different rates of progress. Just look it up and you'll find all sorts of relevant information. It is better that you do that yourself than for me to curate a list for you.

I do fall into the category that thinks the latter - they want a scoop of the pie too, and if it needs some "blockchain" wrap up for it, they have all the funds and influence to do it.

Blockchain is just a buzzword for a fancy database. Do people not remember that a while back that was the main way to get investment? They avoided Bitcoin for the wrong reasons and just slapped the word blockchain on everything. 2 cycles back I think or something like that.

A token is not a coin therefore it can't be a shitcoin, can it? You can do wonderful things with tokens assuming that you are honest. Just because most of the projects so far were scammy startups by random people with no history of business success, that does not mean that every venture that uses tokenization will be bad.

Well to state that it is losing or becoming irrelevant overall is an exaggeration. However, the fact is that Wall Street has missed out on a good portion of Bitcoin and crypto history. They made a huge mistake in regards to Bitcoin. This is not a case of hindsight bias -- Bitcoin was exactly the same when they dismissed it as it as now when they are embracing it.

I remembered Coin ase did, I still don't understand why they never did Ico like normal tokenize their tokens like other exchange but I think they did it purposely to made coinbase looks that way. However, I want you to know that this numbers can be true and be false, just creating a false hype to think the exchange is liquid and are having large numbers of investors that are willing to buy or the best known to them.  It might as well be because we are in bull run, so this is as a result of demand in service and nothing more.

Whatever you think coinbase is doing, know there is high level of institutional investors that are having interest in their affairs of coinbase. This coinbase Ceo isn't the type that is vocal about Bitcoin and decentralization, his subjects most times is always institutional interest in cryptocurrency, so when you see numbers flying higher, don't believe them.

Kudos to bitcoin the I deal that initiated digital values. We also think we can appreciate the fact that the traditional finance is also meeting up the modernity of technological values tied in the blockchain to make their monetary system more efficient to navigate like the borderless which bitcoin and crypto technological system can be used to send money across the world.
We can give them a thub. However, nomatter what it's, there's a limit of adoption within the centralize and decentralized blockchain while those who want privacies will prefer decentlized finance than the centralized values.
Like you just said , yes we can call that a mimicking monetary system of the traditional system to the bitcoin blockchain .

[Donneski]

I think tokenization is Wall Street’s survival instinct kicking in. They’ve seen how much efficiency and transparency blockchain brings, so now they’re racing to adapt without losing control.

But you’re right, there’s a clear difference between true decentralization and regulated tokenization. One empowers individuals, the other keeps power in the same hands. In the end, I think time will reveal which model truly wins.

Funny thing is, with this recent report, it shows how people trust crypto more than Wall Street now. You’d think it would be the other way around since they’re supposed to be the big money players in the industry. But here we are, Bitcoin keeps gaining popularity, ETFs popping up everywhere. This tokenization thing sounds new and interesting, but honestly, I doubt it’s going to work.

[tabas]

They just want to be part of what's happening. Giving stocks to people or shares through papers is the old one and this is innovation when these tokens are also shares given to their investors. Wherever money is flowing, they can't just let it past without them being part of it and that's the reason why they're about to tokenized the shares that they're going to give away. That's where it is going because if the financial companies can't beat Bitcoin and the crypto revolution, they're not going to be against it anymore but have to join.

I doubt if it will even make a difference for them. Stocks are already there for purchase on the stock exchange and tokenizing them will not change their value.
It won't change anything behind the scenes but just the way of holding them and that won't be the reason for people to buy those stocks.
If at all they other companies want to get involved with the tech then they will actually have to incorporate blockchain in their business and may be then they can get a piece of the pie too.
