The Tokenization Stack
How capital flows through tokenization. From institutional allocators to productive yield.
11 matching players
Issuance
2Who creates tokenized assets
Securitize and Ondo run most of the issuance. Everyone else is fighting for distribution. When the product is a wrapper, distribution is the only thing that differentiates you.
Tokenized Products
2The assets the stack exists to serve
$31B+ across BUIDL, USYC, JTRSY, PAXG, and accelerating. These are the actual assets that connect the stack. Issuers on one end, yield protocols on the other, chains underneath.
Stablecoins
3What everything settles in
USDT, USDC, PYUSD. The settlement layer. Increasingly backed by tokenized treasuries themselves, which means the base layer is starting to eat what it settles. That loop is worth watching.
Yield
4Where tokenized assets become productive
Morpho, Aave, Spark, Pendle. This is where tokenized assets stop sitting in a wallet and start earning. A lot of the DeFi primitives needed to make this work at scale haven't been built yet. The yield layer is the reason institutions care about any of this.
