BlackRock CEO: Tokenization could make mobile investing as simple as making payments

According to ME News, on March 24 (UTC+8), BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated that asset tokenization has the potential to significantly simplify the investment process, making investing via mobile phones as convenient as everyday payments. In his annual letter, Fink pointed out that half the world's population already uses digital wallets, and if these wallets also have investment functions, users will be able to easily allocate diversified asset portfolios for long-term investment. He believes that tokenization can restructure financial infrastructure through blockchain technology, making asset issuance, trading, and acquisition more efficient. Asset tokenization refers to converting traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate into on-chain digital tokens, thereby improving liquidity and supporting fragmented investment. Fink has previously emphasized that this technology helps lower investment barriers and promotes broader participation. Against the backdrop of traditional financial institutions accelerating their exploration of blockchain applications, regulators and legislators are also actively studying the potential role of tokenization in market structure and transaction execution.
