This research report, produced by Nethermind and PwC Germany, explores the intersection of tokenization standards and the evolving regulatory landscape in the European Union (EU). Tokenization—the process of converting rights or assets into digital tokens on a blockchain—is revolutionising finance by enhancing efficiency, transparency, and liquidity. The market for tokenized assets is projected to reach $16.1 trillion by 2030. However, its growth is currently hindered by regulatory uncertainty and a lack of standardised token protocols. This synopsis summarises the report's findings on the EU's regulatory frameworks, the role of token standards, and the path forward for the industry.
