BIS Project Agorá shows tokenized payments can settle in seconds

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has concluded a two-year initiative known as Project Agorá, which successfully tested a prototype for cross-border wholesale payments involving seven central banks and over 40 private financial institutions. By utilizing a two-layer blockchain architecture, the project enables atomic settlement of tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits in seconds. This approach addresses the inefficiencies of the current global payment system, which processed $195 trillion in 2024 and is expected to reach $320 trillion by 2032. By integrating anti-money laundering and fraud screening in parallel, the system significantly reduces processing times and false-positive rates while maintaining the traditional two-tier banking structure. The prototype ensures financial stability by preserving the singleness of money, distinguishing it from decentralized stablecoin alternatives. As the project moves toward real-value testing, it highlights a major shift in how global financial infrastructure may adopt tokenization to modernize international trade. This collaboration represents one of the most significant efforts to date to harmonize central bank and private sector ledgers for 24/7 global liquidity.

Franklin Templeton, BNP Paribas see tokenization boosting EU's capital efficiency

Executives from Franklin Templeton and BNP Paribas recently highlighted at the WAIB Summit 2026 how tokenized assets and stablecoins are poised to modernize European capital markets by enhancing liquidity and capital efficiency. By streamlining settlement processes and improving collateral mobility, these digital instruments offer institutions greater flexibility and new cross-border opportunities. This shift is supported by the technical capability of blockchains to host multiple interoperable assets, a feature emphasized by BNP Paribas CIB. Meanwhile, major U.S. financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America are preparing to launch a tokenized deposit network by the first half of 2027. Regulatory momentum is also building, evidenced by the SEC's approval of Nasdaq's tokenized stock trading pilot and the New York Stock Exchange's partnership with Securitize. Furthermore, Digital Asset Holdings recently secured $355 million in funding to expand the Canton Network, which is already being piloted by major global banks. These developments collectively signal a broader institutional transition toward onchain settlement and 24/7 trading infrastructure.

RWA market hits $51B as tokenized private credits surges: Bernstein

The Real World Asset (RWA) market has expanded to $51 billion, a 42% increase this year, according to Bernstein Research. This growth is largely driven by tokenized private credit, which now constitutes approximately 44% of the total RWA value, reflecting increased adoption of blockchain infrastructure for lending. Figure Technology Solutions leads RWA platforms with $18 billion in tokenized assets, having tokenized $5 billion in consumer loans in 2026 and achieving $1.3 billion in monthly loan volume in April 2026. Institutional engagement is also evident with BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized money market fund exceeding $2.5 billion in assets. The market's expansion highlights blockchain's emerging role as a foundational layer for global capital markets, addressing investor demand for yield and business capital needs. US Treasury debt remains the second-largest RWA category at 30%, with commodities at 14%. Onchain RWA derivatives are also growing, with Hyperliquid reporting $2.6 billion in open interest in May and $65 billion in trading volumes in April 2026.

Active tokenized RWAs surge almost 600% despite crypto pullback: Binance

The market for active tokenized real-world assets experienced a significant 589% surge between early 2025 and June 2026, according to Binance Research. While bonds and money market funds added $6.5 billion in value, tokenized stocks demonstrated faster growth with a 422% increase in market value. Platforms like Ondo Global Markets played a pivotal role in this momentum, surpassing $1 billion in total value locked within eight months. Tokenized precious metals also saw substantial interest, adding $1.5 billion in value as investors sought safe-haven assets during periods of geopolitical uncertainty. Beyond investment products, institutional adoption is expanding into core financial infrastructure, exemplified by The Clearing House's plans to launch a tokenized deposit network backed by major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. Furthermore, Kraken’s xStocks platform has facilitated over $25 billion in trading volume for tokenized private equities like SpaceX shares. This maturation signifies a shift from a Treasury-dominated narrative toward a diversified ecosystem that integrates blockchain technology into traditional banking and settlement processes.

Tokenized asset market tops $43B as institutions accelerate blockchain adoption

The tokenized real-world asset market has expanded by 37% over the last six months, reaching a total market capitalization exceeding $43 billion according to Token Terminal. This growth signifies a shift from a Treasury-dominated landscape toward a more diversified ecosystem that includes commodities and equities. Tokenized funds currently command nearly 80% of the market, while commodities and stocks represent 16.6% and 3.8% respectively. Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain infrastructure, hosting 57.8% of total value, though platforms like BNB Chain, zkSync Era, XRP Ledger, and Stellar are capturing increasing market share. Major financial institutions are accelerating this transition, with Citigroup projecting the market could reach up to $8.2 trillion by 2030 as core infrastructure providers like the DTCC and Nasdaq integrate onchain processes. Sky leads the sector as the largest issuer with $6.1 billion in assets, followed by Securitize and Ondo Finance. This maturation suggests that tokenization is moving beyond pilot programs into mainstream financial operations, supported by improving regulatory clarity and institutional adoption.

[Securitize Launches Tokenized CLO Fund on Solana with $250 Million Backing from Ethena] - Earnings Per Share

Securitize has officially launched a tokenized Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) fund on the Solana blockchain, marking a significant expansion of institutional-grade financial products into the decentralized finance ecosystem. The initiative is bolstered by a substantial $250 million capital commitment from Ethena, a protocol known for its synthetic dollar architecture. By leveraging Solana’s high-throughput infrastructure, this fund aims to bring complex credit instruments on-chain, enhancing liquidity and accessibility for global investors. This development represents a major milestone for the RWA sector, as it demonstrates the increasing appetite for traditional structured credit products within blockchain environments. The integration of Ethena’s backing provides the necessary scale to attract institutional participants who require robust liquidity and proven financial structures. As more sophisticated assets like CLOs migrate to public ledgers, the barrier between traditional finance and digital asset markets continues to diminish. This move underscores the growing trend of major financial players utilizing Solana for high-value asset tokenization due to its efficiency and scalability.

Are Tokenized Stocks the New Altcoins? On-Chain Equities Heat Up Amid SpaceX IPO

The tokenized equity market is experiencing rapid growth, with its combined market cap surging from $20 million in late 2024 to approximately $1.4 billion. This shift is highlighted by the launch of tokenized SpaceX (SPCX) on Solana by Backpack, which saw over $100 million in volume on its first day on Gate, alongside significant activity on Hyperliquid. Unlike the failed synthetic models of the past, modern tokenized stocks are asset-backed, with regulated custodians holding real shares 1:1 via special purpose vehicles. Major platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, and Trust Wallet are integrating these products, offering users 24/7 access to equities like NVDA and TSLA. While Binance's direct stock trading service has seen higher daily turnover, the tokenized sector continues to scale, reaching a record $5.16 billion in daily volume in June. This convergence is forcing a shift in the broader crypto market, as altcoins increasingly face pressure to demonstrate real revenue rather than relying on speculative sentiment. Ultimately, the integration of traditional equities into blockchain ecosystems represents a fundamental evolution in how digital assets are valued and traded.

Securitize to Launch Tokenized Securities on Nasdaq, Enabling 24/7 Trading

Securitize has announced a strategic initiative to launch tokenized securities on the Nasdaq platform, marking a significant evolution in how traditional financial assets are traded. By leveraging blockchain technology, this integration aims to facilitate 24/7 trading capabilities for tokenized real-world assets, moving away from the limitations of traditional market hours. This development represents a major milestone for the RWA sector, as it bridges the gap between institutional-grade infrastructure and decentralized finance protocols. The move is expected to enhance liquidity and accessibility for investors, potentially setting a new standard for how securities are issued and managed globally. By utilizing Nasdaq's robust market infrastructure alongside Securitize's tokenization expertise, the partnership addresses key regulatory and operational hurdles that have previously hindered widespread adoption. This shift underscores the growing institutional appetite for tokenized assets and signals a broader trend toward the modernization of global capital markets. Ultimately, this collaboration serves as a critical proof-of-concept for the integration of blockchain-based assets into established, regulated financial exchanges.

Ondo Finance exec sees tokenized stocks hitting $3B by year-end

Ondo Global Markets has achieved rapid adoption, reaching $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) for its tokenized equity platform in just eight months, significantly outpacing the growth trajectories of stablecoins and tokenized Treasuries. Launched in September 2025, the platform now offers over 260 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs across Solana, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, with each token fully backed by securities held by a U.S.-registered broker-dealer. This growth reflects a broader trend where the tokenized assets market has expanded 47% year-to-date, far exceeding traditional benchmarks like the S&P 500. Ondo currently commands over 70% market share among tokenized equity issuers and has processed more than $18 billion in cumulative trading volume. Strategic partnerships with major institutions, including J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Ripple, and Franklin Templeton, alongside integration into the DTCC’s tokenized securities consortium, underscore the platform's institutional integration. Furthermore, Ondo is pursuing full SEC reporting requirements and has secured regulatory approval to expand into 30 European countries. By enabling 24/7 trading and on-chain proxy voting, Ondo aims to bridge the gap between crypto-native wealth and traditional American equity markets.

$721B Mirae Asset Taps Ondo Finance to Tokenize Global X ETFs

South Korea’s largest asset manager, Mirae Asset Global Investments, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ondo Finance to tokenize its Global X ETF lineup. Overseeing $721 billion in assets, Mirae plans to utilize Ondo Global Markets to bring its funds on-chain, starting with a tokenized share class of the Global X HSCEI Covered Call Active ETF in Q3 2026. Unlike previous third-party wrappers, this partnership involves the original issuer directly, marking a significant shift toward institutional-led tokenization. The tokens will represent fully backed beneficial interests in the underlying ETFs, allowing for 24/5 minting and redemption alongside 24/7 peer-to-peer trading. By leveraging Ondo’s regulated infrastructure, Mirae aims to expand its distribution to wallet-native investors while navigating complex regional regulatory environments. This collaboration follows similar moves by major firms like Franklin Templeton and signals that traditional Asian institutions are increasingly adopting tokenization as a core distribution channel. The deal establishes a new precedent for the region, positioning Ondo as a primary issuance backbone for global asset managers.

Ondo Finance Surpasses $4 Billion TVL as Tokenized Assets Enter the Mainstream

Ondo Finance has surpassed $4 billion in total value locked, more than doubling its TVL since the beginning of 2026. This milestone underscores the accelerating institutional demand for onchain access to traditional financial products like U.S. Treasuries and equities. By offering flagship tokens such as USDY and OUSG, the platform bridges traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure, providing 24/7 settlement and transferability. The company has secured strategic partnerships with major entities including Solana, Uniswap, Franklin Templeton, BNB Chain, and J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys. Despite the unexpected passing of founder Nathan Allman in May 2026, the firm continues its expansion under new CEO Ian De Bode and veteran John Hoffman. Ondo’s compliance-first strategy has allowed it to thrive amidst intensifying competition from traditional asset managers like BlackRock. This growth signals a broader shift as tokenization evolves from niche experimentation into a foundational pillar of global capital markets.

Centrifuge facilitates $200M investment in Janus Henderson’s JAAA on Solana

Ethena has integrated $200 million in AAA-rated collateralized loan obligation (CLO) shares into its USDe stablecoin backing, marking a significant expansion into institutional-grade credit. Facilitated by Centrifuge using its deRWA standard, this deployment represents one of the largest real-world asset issuances on the Solana blockchain to date. The move diversifies Ethena’s collateral base beyond its traditional crypto-native delta-neutral strategies, aiming to increase institutional appeal. Janus Henderson, an asset manager overseeing $480 billion, provided the JAAA fund shares and has also invested in Ethena’s ENA governance token. While the current allocation is $200 million, Ethena maintains a risk-approved expansion cap of $310 million. This partnership signals a deepening integration between traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, as Janus Henderson explores using USDe for its own treasury operations. The development contributes to the 109% year-to-date growth of tokenized assets on Solana, though it introduces new credit and technical risks for stablecoin holders.
