State Street Report Shows Institutions Double Down on Tokenization

State Street published its 2025 global research on digital assets and emerging technologies, revealing a decisive shift in adoption and strategic commitment among institutional investors toward tokenization and blockchain-enabled transformation. The study, based on a global survey of senior executives across asset management and asset ownership1, captures sentiment, strategy, and operational readiness across regions and institution sizes. “The acceleration in adoption of emerging technologies is remarkable. Institutional investors are moving beyond experimentation, and digital assets are now a strategic lever for growth, efficiency, and innovation,” said Joerg Ambrosius, president of Investment Services at State Street. “As tokenization, AI, and quantum computing converge, early adopters are leading the way in shaping the future of finance.”
