An article published by the Stellar Development Foundation argues that tokenization has solved the problem of asset issuance, but distribution remains a key constraint. This means that blockchains capable of effectively integrating their assets into existing applications will dominate the next decade.

The authors emphasize that a blockchain's success depends on its ability to attract users by leveraging applications that are already popular. This could imply that blockchains unable to integrate with existing ecosystems may lose competitiveness.
