BlackRock CEO: Asset Tokenization Could Make Mobile Investing as Easy as Making Payments

Gate News reports that on March 23, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated in his annual letter that asset tokenization technology can significantly simplify the investment process, making mobile investments as convenient as everyday payments.

Fink pointed out that currently, half of the world’s population uses digital wallets. If these wallets also have investment functions, users will be able to easily diversify their asset portfolios and achieve long-term investment goals. He believes that tokenization can reconstruct financial infrastructure through blockchain technology, improving the efficiency of asset issuance, trading, and access.

Asset tokenization refers to converting traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate into digital tokens on the blockchain, thereby increasing liquidity and supporting fractionalized investments. Fink has previously emphasized that this technology helps lower investment barriers and promotes broader market participation.

As traditional financial institutions accelerate their exploration of blockchain applications, regulators and legislative bodies are actively studying the application of tokenization in market structure and trade execution.
