Cardano CEO: 99% of Tokenization Is Broken (Here’s the Fix),

You bought a tokenized stock. But did you buy the same rights as a shareholder? Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard argues that “99%” of tokenization use cases fail to offer something better, faster or cheaper than existing alternatives. He explains what investors can lose when assets move on-chain—and what tokenization needs to get right. Speaking to Cointelegraph at TOKEN2049 Singapore, Gregaard discusses ownership rights, digital identity, Cardano’s planned Fireblocks integration and the tokenization of 850,000 shares in a Swiss private company. He also shares examples of enterprise adoption and explains why blockchain’s real-world use goes beyond the market cycle. 00:00 Tokenization’s Biggest Problem 00:27 “99%” of Tokenization Falls Short 00:50 What Stablecoins Are Still Missing 01:45 You Bought the Token.
