New legislation like the GENIUS Act is paving the way for institutional adoption of real-world asset tokenization, as Aptos Labs and other major players lead the charge.
Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is rapidly emerging as one of Wall Street’s most promising innovations, and with the recent passage of pro-industry legislation, particularly the US GENIUS Act, growth in the sector is poised to accelerate, according to Aptos Labs’ newly appointed chief business officer, Solomon Tesfaye.
In a conversation with Cointelegraph ahead of the landmark passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, Tesfaye emphasized the legislation’s appeal to institutional players increasingly signaling intent to enter the crypto space.
“We’re seeing more open dialogue between policymakers and Web3 leaders that is shaping legislation and giving institutions more confidence to commit to longer digital asset roadmaps,” Tesfaye said. “More specifically, the GENIUS Act is one of the strongest signals that Congress is ready to support responsible blockchain innovation.”
