This is an opinion piece by Ray Tierney, CEO of 21X LLC, which recently applied for an ATS license. In his view, Issuers are not rejecting tokenization.

➤ US companies are objecting to their stocks trading on Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs) due to concerns about lack of clarity on disclosure, reporting, and potential price volatility, especially during off-hours trading.
➤ The article argues that the industry needs to build trust with issuers by implementing safeguards like price bands, volatility halts, and transparent off-hours trading rules, and by bringing established market infrastructure on-chain.
➤ Ultimately, the successful tokenization of stocks requires consensus-building with corporate America, focusing on issuer-led models and clear regulatory guidance, rather than a top-down approach.

➤ YouTuber EllioTrades predicts XRP could fall out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by 2030 if Ripple and the XRP Ledger do not significantly increase their involvement in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
➤ The argument is that competing blockchains are outpacing XRPL in tokenizing assets like bonds and stocks, and XRP's value is not automatically tied to Ripple's partnerships.
➤ To remain competitive, XRP needs to attract more actively traded tokenized assets, support developers, and secure partnerships with major financial institutions.
