RWA Tokenization Could Reshape LATAM Markets: Bifinex Report

A new report suggests that tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) could help resolve structural inefficiencies in Latin American capital markets and accelerate investment flows.

Bitfinex Securities El Salvador’s Latin America Market Inclusion Report, released on August 20, said RWA tokenization can cut issuance costs for capital raises by up to 4% and reduce listing times by as much as 90 days. 

RWA Expected to Break Market Inefficiencies

The report highlights the main hurdles for regional markets. High fees, complex bureaucracy, and limited investor participation have slowed capital flows and restricted access for both entrepreneurs and investors.

According to the report, these issues are “liquidity latency,” which describes how outdated structures and regulatory bottlenecks prevent markets from functioning efficiently.
