IOTA Positioned at the Core of Global DLT Policy as INATBA Explores Tokenization’s Future

• IOTA co-founders discuss the growing impact of tokenization in finance, governance, and infrastructure in the latest INATBA report.
• The report details the expansion of DeFi and tokenized asset markets, exploring use cases such as fractional real estate, stablecoins, etc.

The IOTA distributed ledger technology (DLT) is emerging as a key player in the tokenization of real-world assets across finance, public infrastructure, and governance. In the latest development, the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) has recently released a report explaining the potential benefits of tokenization across multiple industries and applications.

IOTA Foundation Takes Key Role in Global Tokenization Policy Report

Tokenization is rapidly transforming finance, governance, and public infrastructure, according to a new report from the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) Finance Working Group. The report explores the rise of fractional real estate ownership, stablecoins, and innovative concepts such as the Tokenized Micro Flat Tax (TMFT).

Notably, IOTA Foundation members Giannis Rousopoulos and Tom Jansson are listed as co-authors of the report. It underscores IOTA’s active involvement in shaping the global dialogue on distributed ledger technology (DLT) adoption. This positions IOTA at the core of policy development and regulatory discussions, driving the future of tokenized economies.

The INATBA report noted that the decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized asset markets are undergoing rapid expansion, driven by the industrial adoption of decentralized ledger technology (DLT).

In its latest report, INATBA emphasized that while DLT has enabled innovation, it has also revealed gaps and risks within the ecosystem. The organization stressed the importance of ensuring that users of blockchain-based tokens receive the same level of protection as participants in traditional financial markets.

Putting Key Focus on Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The tokenization wave has been catching up fast, with regulators and banks making a major move in this direction, as reported by CNF. In order to cater to the growing demand for tokenization, the IOTA network has officially launched the IOTA Trust Framework, a suite of five ready-to-use building blocks aimed at simplifying blockchain adoption for enterprises, developers, and institutions.

IOTA has reportedly expressed strong interest in tokenizing critical minerals as part of its expanding focus on Real World Assets (RWA). The development was shared by IOTA ambassador MoonBaklava on X, who noted that the initiative aims to leverage the recent U.S.–Japan agreement to strengthen critical mineral supply chains.

In another development, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has recognized IOTA as one of the key technologies driving the future of global digital trade and decentralized identity. The acknowledgment comes from the WEF’s latest whitepaper, “Advancing Digital Trade: Insights from the UAE TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox,” released in September 2025.
