[Coin World] Recently, the International Monetary Fund released a video discussing the issue of tokenization. They believe that this technology can indeed make financial transactions faster and cheaper, but the conversation took a turn – there are also quite a few new risks.

For example, the market may become more fragile, and a flash crash can happen suddenly; if there is a problem with the smart contract, it could lead to a series of chain explosions. Automated trading runs like a game of dominoes, where one falling piece can topple a whole lot.

Interestingly, the IMF is sending a signal: tokenization is no longer just a plaything for insiders; governments around the world are starting to pay attention to this cake. We can expect more actions from regulators in the future, as this technology is both an opportunity and a ticking time bomb.

The IMF is playing Tai Chi, wanting it both ways.

The IMF wants to manage things but can't control them, it's quick to respond, but fears a chain reaction might actually happen.

It's fast, but the problem is that everything is over once regulation arrives.

The IMF is finding ways to impose restrictions on innovation... They claim it's to prevent risks, but in reality, they just want to control the narrative.
