Domingo contended that public blockchains, particularly Ethereum, are best positioned to power institutional tokenization, while criticizing many existing tokenized stock offerings as synthetic products rather than true tokenized equities that give investors direct ownership, voting rights and dividends. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said he believes tokenized equities and ETFs, not private credit or Treasury products, will be the asset class that ultimately drives the real-world asset (RWA) market into the trillions.
