EU regulations give banks regulatory advantages over tokenized assets
The EU's new regulations provide significant regulatory advantages for banks to tokenize traditional assets, allowing them to process tokenized securities on any blockchain without additional capital requirements. In contrast, banks in other regions that follow Basel guidelines are required to impose a risk weight of up to 1250% on similar assets on unlicensed networks. This difference also covers the field of stablecoins, which may give Europe an advantage in institutional tokenization and traditional financial digitization.
