Lo, the tempestuous whirlwind of tokenization cannot be tamed by the feeble fans of yore’s finance! Thus spake Keith Grossman, MoonPay’s illustrious president, with the gravitas of a philosopher addressing a room of deaf scribes.
In a pronouncement that shook the cobblestones of Wall Street (or would’ve, had they not been napping):
“To freeze progress to preserve dusty vaults? A folly! Innovation arrives uninvited, like a skunk at a garden party. 🦝✨”
Tokenization, that alchemy of turning property, stocks, and even your cousin’s IOU into digital trinkets, is hailed as swift, cheap, and scalable-unlike the DMV, which remains a mystery.
Yea, even the U.S. regulators, those stern schoolmarms, demand all capital markets prance onto the blockchain. 🚀
“Inevitable” as Taxes (But Less Tedious)
Yet, the grumpy old men of finance-stock exchanges and their ilk-protest! The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) lately hissed:
“Unregulated tokenized equities? A menace! 🏛️💸”
Citadel Securities, ever the chivalrous knight, declared DeFi must wear a leash before playing with such toys. Crypto zealots gasped-“A declaration of war! 🗡️”
But Grossman, undaunted, laughed like a hyena:
“The media did not vanish, but now it’s but a shadow of its former self. Distribution? Monetization? Power? All reshuffled like a deck of cards!”
Finance, he vowed, shall be tokenized, and the winners shall be those who embrace it-unlike the dinosaurs who clung to floppy disks.
“Tokenization shall disrupt finance as digitization did to media. Faster. With better snacks. 🍿”
Eli Ben-Sasson, Starknet’s bard, summed it thus:
“Crypto will devour tradFi’s infrastructure. And leave no crumb. 🍞💀”
Tokenized Assets: $1 Trillion and Counting 🎉
The tokenized realm now boasts $700 billion-nay, nearly a trillion!-including $300 billion in stablecoins (the “safe” crypto, for the faint of heart).
Even loans and repos now prance on-chain, like debutantes at a blockchain ball. 🎩🔗

Tokenized equities? They’re the belle of the ball in 2025, growing faster than a TikTok trend despite crypto’s snooze-fest.
Issuers like Ondo Finance and Securitize lead the parade, while Ethereum struts ahead as the belle of the settlement layer ($335M), flanked by Solana ($164M). Algorand and BNB Chain? Merely wallflowers. 🌸
Grayscale peers into the crystal ball: by 2030, tokenized markets may swell 1000x. ETH, BNB, SOL, and Chainlink? The lucky heirs. 🧙♂️💰
Final Thoughts (Cue the Curtain Call)
- MoonPay’s prophet declares tokenization “inevitable”-like death, taxes, or spoilers for Game of Thrones. 🪦🧾🐉
- Grayscale bets on a 1,000x surge by 2030. Cross your fingers! 🙏
