Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is gaining traction, with yield-bearing products like tokenized Treasuries and money market instruments leading the way. Industry leaders at the BeInCrypto Online Summit 2026 highlighted that while demand and technology are not barriers, institutional adoption hinges on addressing fragmentation and interoperability challenges. Panelists emphasized that institutions prioritize understanding failure risks in a fragmented, crosschain environment over mere functionality. Speakers, including Alex Zinder of Blockdaemon and Aishwary Gupta of Polygon Labs, noted that institutions seek frameworks that manage execution risk and ensure predictable outcomes. Fragmentation across blockchains is seen as an economic drag, affecting liquidity and capital efficiency. Despite these hurdles, the panel agreed that tokenized yield products are scaling faster than more complex asset classes like real estate, positioning them as a bridge between traditional finance and DeFi.
