How well do you know of the tokenization industry?
While the newsreel of tokenization seems to be in perpetual motion, I have been hard pressed to find a complete overview of the industry players, transactions and value accrual points.
Last week Binance published a mapping on the industry that arguably not only left out a lot of important participants but also failed to provide a sense of their relative scale. See below.

So I am going to attempt to shine a light on the topic. To do that, I will focus on 2 questions:
- Which blockchain and which tokenization platform have the most traction? 
- How does one blockchain compare with another in terms of the breadth as well as the scope of its tokenization usage? 
Of course tokenization is a very broad subject and it can be applied to commercial bank deposits, CBDC and onchain securitization. For the purpose of this post, I will limit our focus to onchain securitization and/or distribution of assets while eschewing other use cases.
In this week’s newsletter, I will provide you with an overview of different blockchain’s tokenization traction record, noteworthy use cases and users.
And in a future newsletter, I shall drill down further to look at different tokenization projects and their adoption track record. Subscribe and stay tuned.
Blockchain Platforms
There are two types of blockchains: permissionless public blockchains and permissioned private blockchains.
