Let’s not mince words - most platforms were never designed for this kind of success. The real-world asset market has ballooned rapidly from $8.6B to $23B in just a few months. There was no time to redesign systems for that level of growth.
To top it off, no one was expecting to have a wave of problems caused by rushed backend shortcuts.
The cracks are showing, and the pain points are impossible to ignore.
Scale is one area of stress
Many platforms were originally designed for small pilot projects.
Now they are expected to deliver millisecond settlement, audit trails, and real-time reporting- demands that often seem impossible to reconcile.
To address the gaps, serious players are moving to custom Layer 1s, rollups, or compliant sidechains; why? Public chains cannot reliably segment users by jurisdiction or investor type, and that matters for banks, asset managers, or funds requiring compliance triggers baked in from day one.
Custody is about accountability, not just security
Institutions care less about “self-custody" and more about who is liable when things go wrong. That is driving demand for regulated custodians, MPC-based wallets, and real-time reporting interfaces that legal teams can actually use.
Compliance cannot be an afterthought anymore
MiCA, the SEC, and MAS - these are not burdens or barriers. They are non-negatives. The platforms moving forward are building smart contracts with jurisdictional filters, investor-type limitations, and embedded references to legal documentation in the token's metadata.
Antier empowers institutions in 2025 by delivering secure, compliant real-world asset tokenization platforms that unlock liquidity, automate compliance, and scale global investment access.
