ChainCatcher news, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report analyzes the reasons why tokenization has not become more widespread. It points out that although tokenization brings efficiency improvements, securities settlement enhancements, and innovation opportunities, it faces numerous challenges.The report mentions that the lack of a sufficient investor base is a major obstacle, leading to insufficient liquidity, which makes issuers cautious about tokenization. The issuance of sovereign bonds can help promote the development of tokenization, as seen in the case of Slovenia.At the same time, the OECD emphasizes that quasi-sovereign issuers, such as the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, are more active, but liquidity issues are often resolved through integration with traditional systems, which also undermines the potential advantages of tokenization.Another challenge is the "chicken or egg" problem of network effects; when network effects have not yet manifested, it is difficult to prove the value of investments. Additionally, many institutions face technical debt and lack the funds to upgrade to distributed ledger technology (DLT).

"The Federal Reserve is very eager to ensure that any issuance of stablecoins operates within an appropriate federal prudential regulatory framework so that they do not threaten financial stability or the integrity of the payment system," Barr said at a conference in Washington, D.C. in October 2023.For years, lawmakers have been working on legislation to regulate stablecoins, but the crux of the issue lies in how to allocate regulatory authority between state and federal levels.

ChainCatcher news, Barrick Gold CEO stated: "Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and is indeed affected by elections. But I don't believe it has the same fundamentals as gold.

ChainCatcher news, a16z partner Chris Dixon emphasized the importance of further clarifying regulations by the U.S. government during a discussion on stablecoin regulation. He pointed out that the cryptocurrency market has overcome many technical barriers but still faces two main challenges: infrastructure and policy clarity. While some analysts believe that large investors are not interested in application-layer startups, Dixon disagreed with this view. He noted that at least half of a16z's investments in the past few years have been concentrated in the application layer. However, these startups often struggle to realize their visions due to concerns about legal disputes in the next five years.Dixon believes that with new entrepreneurs and new ideas emerging in the digital asset space, a true revival and development of the industry is possible. Although the infrastructure is in place, the lack of regulatory transparency hinders further progress in the industry. He advocates that regulatory policies should prioritize transparency, providing a clear path for legitimate participants while cracking down on fraud and other malicious activities. This is crucial not only for consumers but also for the healthy development of the industry; otherwise, issues similar to FTX may arise again.
