“We can put anything on a blockchain… and it's not going to matter if there's no capital velocity.”

Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Head of Product & Research at Grayscale Investments, made that clear at ETHDenver 2026.

Only “0.02% of all assets have been tokenized.” The constraint isn’t technology — it’s movement. Secondary liquidity emerges when tokenization improves settlement speed, fractional ownership, or 24/7 access. Without that, blockchain wrappers don’t change behavior.

She also pointed to a generational shift: future investors may access assets through wallets rather than traditional brokerage rails.

The structural takeaway:
✅ Tokenization must improve speed or access to matter
✅ Liquidity follows utility, not labels
✅ Generational adoption could reshape distribution channels
✅ Secondary markets depend on real capital turnover

The long-term question isn’t what can be tokenized — it’s where tokenization genuinely increases capital efficiency.
