- Influential research firm Citrini Research sees tokenization opening a major new market for crypto, arguing that companies and protocols collecting fees from trading, lending and payments could benefit more than bitcoin or ether.
- Securitize, Coinbase, Robinhood Circle are among the stocks highlighted as potential beneficiaries of Wall Street moving financial assets onto blockchains, alongside Figure, SoFi and Bullish.
- Citrini was even more optimistic on opportunities among crypto tokens, highlighting Aerodrome, Maple, Ondo, Pendle and Derive, among others, while warning that growing blockchain activity doesn’t always translate into higher token prices.
