(chainalysis.com) The New Rails: Navigating Blockchain Infrastructure Trade-offs for Institutional Tokenization of Real World AssetsInstitutional RWA tokenization demands careful blockchain selection due to trade-offs in speed, cost, contagion risk, illicit exposure, and governance. No single network excels across all dimensions—alignment with asset requirements is critical.In brief - Financial institutions adopting RWA tokenization must navigate blockchain infrastructure trade-offs, balancing compliance, liquidity, and operational risks. Ethereum L2s (Arbitrum, Base) and Solana lead in regulated and high-frequency use cases, respectively, but systemic vulnerabilities persist.Technically - On-chain analysis of 9 networks reveals key metrics: TRON and post-Dencun Ethereum offer cost predictability (low kurtosis), while Solana leads in throughput (TPS) and Arbitrum in finality. Contagion risk is highest in Solana due to CEX liquidity flows; illicit exposure is lowest in Ethereum, Solana, and Base. Governance varies from Bitcoin’s immutability to PoS oversight. Compliance tools (Chainalysis KYT, address screening) are essential to mitigate illicit exposure across networks.Source: https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/blockchain-infrastructure-tradfi-tokenization/#Cybersecurity #ThreatIntel
