Although financial giants such as Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, as well as crypto native companies like Superstate, are entering the tokenization of traditional assets, it is still a very niche financial field at present. In response to a question about whether Prometheum can point to real-world customers or other evidence of attractiveness in the market, Kaplan stated that the company is still in a "very early stage" and is "actively in discussions with financial institutions". （Fortune）
