The tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has become a key focus for traditional finance companies aiming to build bridges to decentralized finance (DeFi), improving liquidity, accessibility and transparency with RWA transactions.
Four days before US President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, Cointelegraph interviewed Eli Cohen, general counsel of the RWA tokenizing platform Centrifuge, to discuss trends he expects to see in 2025.
He predicts that expanding demand for yields will drive more diverse tokenized products.
An unyielding marketcited high Treasury rates and increasing competition among stablecoin issuers pushing the market toward “higher yielding, still safe investments.”
Stablecoins, which rely on tokenized Treasurys for yields, stand to benefit from this evolution, Cohen said.
Cohen expects the incoming Trump administration to deliver “a very public renouncement and repudiation” of restrictive policies, such as Operation Chokepoint 2.0, further encouraging RWA market growth.
Cohen said the shift from Gary Gensler’s leadership of the US Securities and Exchange Commission to the new leadership appointed by Trump will be “very different.” It may help TradFi firms overcome “internal resistance” to crypto markets
