Nethermind & PwC to Launch Report on Tokenization Standards
The report by Nethermind and PwC Germany highlights that while tokenization can unlock a projected $16.1 trillion market by 2030, progress depends on creating standardized, compliance-driven token frameworks.

The report emphasizes that standardization, interoperability, and regulatory alignment are essential to scale tokenization and enable secure, compliant, and efficient on-chain financial markets.
