IOTA Takes Lead in Global Tokenization Policy with INATBA Report

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

• IOTA co-founders co-authored INATBA’s report on global tokenization.
• INATBA calls for balanced regulation in expanding DLT markets.
• IOTA’s Trust Framework and WEF recognition boost its real-world influence.

The IOTA Foundation is taking center stage in shaping global discussions on tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi), as highlighted in a new report from the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA). The report outlines how distributed ledger technology (DLT) is transforming finance, governance, and infrastructure through real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

IOTA’s Leadership in Tokenization Policy

IOTA co-founders Giannis Rousopoulos and Tom Jansson co-authored the INATBA report, marking the foundation’s growing influence in blockchain policy development. Their contribution positions IOTA not just as a technology provider, but as a key voice in the regulatory and governance frameworks shaping tokenized economies.
The INATBA Finance Working Group emphasized that tokenization is rapidly reshaping how assets are created, traded, and managed. From fractional real estate to stablecoins and novel models like the Tokenized Micro Flat Tax (TMFT), the report explores how DLT can drive transparency, efficiency, and inclusion in global markets.

Balancing Innovation and Consumer Protection

While the report praises the innovation brought by DLT, it also highlights potential risks and regulatory gaps. INATBA stresses the need for user protection on par with traditional finance participants. This balanced perspective reflects a broader industry focus: accelerating blockchain adoption while ensuring trust and accountability.

IOTA Expands Real-World Applications

Building on this momentum, IOTA has launched its Trust Framework—a suite of five modular tools designed to simplify blockchain integration for enterprises and developers. The foundation is also exploring tokenization of critical minerals, aligning with the U.S.–Japan initiative to secure essential supply chains.
Adding to its growing recognition, the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently cited IOTA as a key technology driving global digital trade and decentralized identity innovation. This endorsement underscores IOTA’s strategic role in bridging policy, technology, and real-world application.

The Road Ahead

As tokenization becomes central to the next phase of digital economies, IOTA’s policy involvement and infrastructure readiness could place it at the heart of a multi-trillion-dollar transformation. Its alignment with regulatory bodies and global organizations signals a maturing ecosystem ready for large-scale adoption.
