US investment bank Jefferies said the CLARITY Act, a US digital-asset (cryptocurrency) market structure bill, could become an inflection point for the spread of tokenization across traditional finance.

According to CoinDesk, a digital-asset-focused outlet, Jefferies said in a recent report that “maturing blockchain infrastructure, combined with expectations for greater regulatory clarity, is laying the groundwork for broader tokenization adoption.”

The report said that “for the tokenization wave to gain full momentum, clear definitions and rules for digital-asset market structure in the US are essential,” adding that “while passage of the CLARITY Act remains uncertain, the discussions alone could have faster-than-expected effects across financial institutions, blockchain firms and the broader tokenization industry.”

Jefferies added that traditional financial institutions view the easing of regulatory uncertainty as a key variable for expanding tokenization initiatives, and that related legal and institutional discussions could act as a catalyst for changes in capital-markets infrastructure.
