U.S., UK move to align rules for tokenized finance across world's largest financial markets

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and HM Treasury have unveiled a collaborative roadmap to harmonize regulatory frameworks for tokenized financial products between the world's two largest financial markets. This initiative, developed by the Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future, aims to reduce friction for tokenized securities, stablecoins, and digital assets operating across borders. The plan includes 10 recommendations, such as establishing an industry-led working group to test cross-border tokenization projects and coordinating regulatory oversight between agencies like the SEC, CFTC, FCA, and the Bank of England. By exploring common standards for settling tokenized securities and the use of stablecoins as collateral, the governments seek to integrate blockchain-based finance into mainstream capital markets. While the recommendations do not introduce new binding rules, they signal a significant shift toward international policy alignment to foster innovation and economic growth. This move is critical for the RWA market as it addresses the regulatory fragmentation that currently hinders the global scalability of tokenized assets. The joint commitment underscores the growing importance of private sector-led digital money and payment systems in the future of global finance.

NUVA Brings $19B of Tokenized Real-World Assets to Ethereum

Animoca Brands and Nuva Labs have launched the NUVA marketplace on Ethereum to bridge approximately $19 billion in tokenized real-world assets from the Provenance blockchain into decentralized finance. This platform enables users to trade, lend, or utilize institutional-grade assets as collateral by converting them into ERC-20 tokens. The initial product lineup includes nvYLDS, linked to Figure Technologies' $500 million YLDS stablecoin, and nvPRIME, backed by an $18.4 billion portfolio of home equity lines of credit. By facilitating this cross-chain integration, NUVA aims to provide retail participants with access to financial instruments previously restricted to institutional investors. CEO Anthony Moro emphasizes that these assets are digitally native rather than mere digital twins, eliminating the need for traditional off-chain record-keeping. This development represents a significant step toward creating a unified global distribution layer for blockchain-native assets. As the RWA sector continues to grow, such infrastructure is critical for reducing the time lags and high fees associated with traditional financial systems.

Emirates NBD goes live on Partior DLT settlement network

Emirates NBD has officially joined the Partior DLT-based clearing and settlement network, marking the first instance of a MENAT region bank participating in the platform. This integration follows a preliminary exploration phase announced in November 2024 and represents the first stage of a broader strategic rollout. While initial plans suggested the bank would act as a settlement provider for UAE Dirham, Saudi Riyal, and Indian Rupee, the current deployment focuses on USD-denominated transactions. JP Morgan facilitated the inaugural transaction, serving as both the settlement and beneficiary bank for Emirates NBD’s corporate and institutional clients. By leveraging Partior’s blockchain infrastructure, the bank aims to modernize cross-border payments and eventually expand its capabilities to include multi-currency support and broader interbank connectivity. This development is significant for the RWA and institutional finance sectors as it demonstrates the growing adoption of DLT for streamlining correspondent banking processes. The move highlights the shift toward programmable settlement layers that reduce friction in international liquidity management.

Grayscale outlines three models for tokenized equities that could reshape capital markets

Grayscale Research has released a comprehensive framework identifying three primary models for the tokenization of equities: wrapper, entitlement, and issuer-native. Currently, tokenized assets represent approximately $30 billion, or 0.01% of global equity and bond markets, despite experiencing a 217% year-over-year growth rate. The wrapper model currently dominates the sector, capturing over 70% of the market capitalization by utilizing public blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. Meanwhile, the entitlement model focuses on integrating legacy infrastructure, such as the DTCC’s pilots on the Canton Network, to enhance post-trade efficiency. The issuer-native model, exemplified by Securitize’s July 2026 NYSE-linked tokenization, represents the most significant long-term growth potential by bypassing traditional intermediaries. Grayscale projects that the tokenized equity market could expand to $30 trillion by 2030, representing a 1,000x increase from current levels. This growth trajectory depends heavily on the evolution of regulatory frameworks and the continued adoption of blockchain networks including Avalanche. Ultimately, these models are expected to coexist, serving different asset types and regulatory requirements as the industry matures from its current nascent state.

78 Banking Groups Push Senate to Rewrite CLARITY Act Section 404

The American Bankers Association, the Independent Community Bankers of America, and 76 state banking associations have formally requested targeted revisions to Section 404 of the CLARITY Act. In a July 13 letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, these 78 organizations outlined specific concerns regarding the pending legislation. The CLARITY Act aims to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins, which are critical components of the RWA ecosystem as they often serve as the primary liquidity bridge for tokenized assets. By seeking to influence the legislative language, these banking groups are attempting to shape how stablecoin issuers interact with the traditional financial system. This intervention highlights the growing tension between legacy banking institutions and the emerging digital asset sector as regulators move toward formal oversight. The outcome of these proposed revisions could significantly impact the operational requirements for stablecoin providers and the broader integration of blockchain-based assets into the U.S. economy. Ensuring regulatory clarity is essential for institutional adoption, as it defines the legal boundaries for yield-bearing stablecoins and their underlying collateral.

Bridgetower tokenizes $11B copper-gold project on Avalanche, eyes $25B pipeline

Bridgetower has tokenized the $11 billion DOM X Arizona Copper-Gold Project, issuing the AZX1 security token on the Avalanche C-Chain. This initiative marks a significant expansion in the RWA sector, moving beyond traditional treasury-backed products into large-scale commodity assets. The project utilizes Chainlink’s infrastructure to provide essential Proof of Reserve verification and daily net asset value data feeds. With a broader $25 billion pipeline targeting natural resources, energy, and metals, Bridgetower aims to establish a repeatable model for institutional commodity tokenization. While the current distributed value of AZX1 is in the hundreds of millions, the phased rollout suggests a strategic approach to market liquidity. This development is notable because it tests the viability of tokenized mining assets, which offer a distinct risk-return profile compared to existing money market funds. The success of this integration will likely be measured by how closely the token's market value tracks against the verified NAV data over time.

For pension funds, tokenization’s real play is balance

Fidelity International's digital assets strategist Giselle Lai argues that the primary value proposition for institutional tokenization lies in balance sheet management rather than just 24/7 liquidity. Global institutions currently struggle with managing idle cash across multiple international bank accounts to meet regulatory and currency requirements. Tokenized assets offer a solution by providing yield-bearing instruments that can be moved efficiently and integrated into broader liquidity workflows. While tokenized money market funds like BlackRock's BUIDL have already reached significant scale, the broader onchain RWA market has surpassed $31 billion in value. The global tokenization market is currently estimated at $2.1 trillion and is projected to grow significantly by 2033. Institutional interest is driven by the functional utility of tokens, such as faster and cheaper asset management, rather than the tokenization process itself. Lai emphasizes that building a comprehensive ecosystem for these tools will likely require a multi-decade evolution similar to the development of the ETF industry.

Securitize adds Citigroup and BBVA veterans to board as tokenization giant eyes institutional growth

Securitize has appointed veteran banking executives Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann and Manolo Sánchez to its Board of Directors following the company's recent NYSE debut. Macieira-Kaufmann brings extensive leadership experience from Citigroup and Wells Fargo, while Sánchez transitions from his long-standing role on the company's advisory board. This strategic expansion of the board signals a shift toward institutional-grade governance for the Miami-based tokenization platform. Securitize currently manages over $4 billion in assets and supports more than 100 tokenized products across 550,000 investor accounts. The platform gained significant momentum by hosting BlackRock’s BUIDL treasury fund, which has attracted billions in capital since its March 2024 launch. By integrating traditional finance heavyweights, Securitize aims to bridge the gap between legacy banking compliance and digital asset infrastructure. This move underscores the growing maturity of the RWA sector as publicly traded entities prioritize regulatory expertise to scale operations.

XRP Jumps As Ripple Joins BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Others To Tokenise UK Debt

Ripple has joined a coalition of 54 major financial institutions, including BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, to advance the tokenization of UK debt markets. This initiative, supported by HM Treasury and the City of London Corporation, aims to develop real-time use cases for tokenized repurchase transactions and fixed-income instruments. The project includes a roadmap to launch the UK Digital Gilt Instrument, known as DIGIT, by early 2027, with Ripple specifically contributing to the repo market trials. Following the announcement, XRP experienced a 2% price increase and a 10% rise in trading volume, signaling renewed investor confidence despite broader market pullbacks. HM Treasury estimates that tokenized real-world assets could reach a global valuation of $88 trillion by 2035. For the UK specifically, this digital transformation is projected to generate £33 billion in annual economic output and $18.7 billion in tax revenue by 2035. This collaboration marks a significant institutional shift toward integrating blockchain technology into sovereign debt management and wholesale financial markets. The inclusion of major global banks alongside crypto-native firms like Ripple underscores the growing convergence between traditional finance and distributed ledger technology.

Ondo Wins Approval To Offer Tokenized Stocks Across Europe

Ondo Global Markets has secured regulatory approval from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs across 30 countries within the European Economic Area. This authorization leverages the EEA passporting regime, allowing the U.S.-based platform to provide retail investors access to traditional financial products via blockchain rails. By operating under a unified regulatory framework, Ondo aims to bridge conventional market exposure with the efficiency of on-chain settlement and custody. This development marks a significant expansion for tokenized securities, as it provides a compliant pathway for cross-border distribution within the European market. The move occurs amidst ongoing discussions regarding the European Securities and Markets Authority's role in overseeing crypto asset service providers under the MiCA framework. Such regulatory milestones are critical for the RWA sector, as they demonstrate the increasing viability of tokenized traditional assets in highly regulated jurisdictions. Ultimately, this expansion signals a maturing landscape where blockchain-based financial instruments are gaining formal recognition and integration into established European financial systems.

BlackRock Explores ETF Tokenization After Bitcoin Success

BlackRock is actively evaluating the tokenization of its exchange-traded funds following the significant market success of its spot Bitcoin ETFs. This strategic pivot aims to integrate traditional financial products with blockchain infrastructure, potentially expanding the firm's existing digital asset footprint. BlackRock currently manages the $2.2 billion BUIDL fund, which operates across the Ethereum, Avalanche, Aptos, and Polygon networks and reached a $1 billion milestone in March 2025. The firm's ongoing collaboration with BNY and Goldman Sachs highlights a broader industry trend toward utilizing private blockchains for share ownership registration. Simultaneously, Nasdaq has submitted an SEC filing to enable the trading of tokenized stocks and ETFs, targeting a potential Q3 2026 launch for blockchain-based settlement. These developments signal a major shift as institutional giants respond to the rising demand for stablecoins and on-chain liquidity. By bridging traditional ETFs with distributed ledger technology, these firms are positioning themselves to capture the next wave of financial market efficiency. This evolution underscores the growing institutional confidence in blockchain as a viable settlement layer for multi-billion dollar asset classes.
