CoinFund’s Christopher Perkins Suggests Ethereum-Based Tokens Could Democratize Access to Private Markets

Key Points

1. Tokenized RWAs use blockchain to provide greater transparency and accessibility, unlike traditional private equity restricted to accredited investors.

2. Christopher Perkins notes that 81% of companies with revenues over $100 million remain private, and tokenization could unlock liquidity and serve as collateral in DeFi.

3. Public markets have declined, with listed companies halving since the 1990s; tokenized RWAs may offer new investment pathways to bypass structural barriers.

4. Regulatory and legal complexities exist, such as tokens not equating to equity stakes, but demand for tokenization is driving potential regulatory evolution.

5. Tokenized RWAs could enhance financial inclusion by allowing broader investor participation in private markets, though regulatory frameworks are still developing.
