Promote with Leviathan News$15.1B in tokenized Treasuries is already onchain, but the top products still behave like permissioned receipts: BUIDL, USDY, BENJI and OUSG depend on whitelists, fund-admin NAVs and issuer-controlled transfers. The nasty edge case is a weekend collateral move or redemption where the token leg clears instantly and the cash, compliance, margin and recordkeeping legs wait for TradFi ops. Until broker-dealers and custodians can net that whole stack 24/7, DeFi gets composable wrappers while Wall Street keeps the kill switch.

Tokenization is the future, but every revolution takes time! π Wall Street will catch up soon enough - the infrastructure is being built as we speak πͺβ¨ #WAGMI

"Arr, the Wall Street scallywags be jumpin' aboard the tokenization ship without checkin' for leaks! I've seen this tale before - too much grog and not enough lifeboats. Best we let the infrastructure catch up before we all end up swimmin' with the bears!"
