Tokenization firm Securitize clears key SEC hurdle for NYSE listing

Securitize has moved closer to a public listing after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared the S-4 registration statement for its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II effective. This merger, sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, is scheduled for a shareholder vote on June 29. If approved, the combined entity will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ, marking a significant step for institutional RWA adoption. Securitize currently manages $4 billion in assets and maintains partnerships with major financial institutions including BlackRock, Apollo, and BNY. The firm demonstrated strong financial growth, reporting $19.5 million in first-quarter revenue, a 39% increase year-over-year. This development follows a memorandum of understanding signed with the NYSE in March to explore blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure. As the largest tokenization platform by market share, this potential listing signals increasing mainstream integration for on-chain financial assets.

Tether’s USDT Faces EU Delistings as MiCA Rules Reshape Stablecoin Market

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is set to trigger a significant shift in the stablecoin market as the July 1 deadline for legacy operators approaches. Tether’s USDT, which currently holds a dominant 58.78% share of the global stablecoin market, faces widespread delisting across EU exchanges due to its lack of authorization under the new framework. This regulatory transition puts approximately $17.5 billion in USDT liquidity at risk, forcing exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Kraken to restrict services for European customers. In contrast, Circle’s USDC has secured an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, positioning it as the primary beneficiary for liquidity migration. This shift highlights how stringent licensing requirements can reshape market dominance and settlement layers within the digital asset ecosystem. Furthermore, the EU's experience serves as a critical case study for South Korea, which is currently debating its own Digital Asset Basic Act. The outcome of these regulatory frameworks will likely dictate which stablecoin issuers become the default standard for global crypto trading and payments.

ONDO Finance leads RWA tokenization with over $4B in total value locked

Ondo Finance has reached a significant milestone by surpassing $4 billion in total value locked, effectively doubling its assets from $1.95 billion at the start of 2026. The platform specializes in tokenizing traditional financial instruments, such as US Treasuries and equities, to provide 24/7 blockchain-based access for global investors. By leveraging a compliance-first framework, Ondo has successfully integrated with major networks including Solana and BNB Chain while securing partnerships with industry giants like Franklin Templeton. A notable achievement occurred in May 2026 when the firm facilitated the first cross-border redemption of tokenized Treasuries alongside J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys and Mastercard. Despite the recent passing of founder Nathan Allman, the company continues its strategic expansion under new CEO Ian De Bode and the appointment of ETF veteran John Hoffman. This growth highlights the broader momentum of the RWA sector, which is now managing tens of billions in assets. As traditional financial institutions like BlackRock increase their presence in the tokenization space, Ondo’s ability to maintain its first-mover advantage will be critical in navigating evolving regulatory and competitive landscapes.

Uniswap Jumps 20% as BlackRock Brings BUIDL to Uniswap

BlackRock has integrated its BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund into the Uniswap decentralized exchange ecosystem through a strategic partnership with Uniswap Labs and Securitize. This development marks the first instance of BlackRock directly engaging with DeFi protocols for its institutional-grade financial products. By utilizing UniswapX, an off-chain order routing system, the integration allows for efficient liquidity sourcing while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. Access to BUIDL trading remains restricted to whitelisted institutional participants who must undergo pre-qualification via Securitize Markets. The fund, which holds U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, leverages Uniswap's deep liquidity to facilitate 24-hour trading cycles. This move signifies a major convergence between traditional finance standards and decentralized infrastructure, demonstrating how institutional assets can operate within permissionless environments. The collaboration highlights the growing institutional demand for the speed and accessibility of DeFi while preserving necessary oversight through broker-dealer frameworks.

JPMorgan, Citi-backed Clearing House plans tokenized deposit network in 2027: WSJ

Major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, and Bank of America, are planning to launch a tokenized deposit network in the first half of 2027. Operated by The Clearing House, this initiative aims to integrate traditional payment rails with digital asset infrastructure to facilitate 24/7 settlement. This strategic move serves as a direct response to the rising competition from stablecoin issuers that are increasingly encroaching on traditional finance territory. By offering the speed and programmability of blockchain-based assets, banks intend to retain deposits within regulated channels. The development highlights a broader industry shift as banking giants attempt to modernize their infrastructure to compete with public blockchain efficiency. This effort coincides with ongoing banking industry opposition to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which could allow stablecoin issuers to offer yield-bearing products. Ultimately, the network represents a significant attempt by legacy institutions to reclaim their role in the evolving digital asset landscape.

Canton Network’s $355M Raise: Why CC Is Becoming a Wall Street Infrastructure Bet

Digital Asset successfully secured $355 million in a June 2026 funding round led by a16z crypto, pushing the company's valuation to approximately $2 billion. This capital injection aims to accelerate the development of the Canton Network, positioning it as a primary settlement backbone for institutional tokenized assets. The round attracted a diverse group of strategic investors, including sovereign wealth funds, global exchange operators, and major banks, signaling a shift from pilot-stage experimentation to production-grade financial infrastructure. With over 700 ecosystem participants, the network emphasizes private-by-default interoperability, which is critical for regulated entities managing sensitive financial data. Digital Asset also filed an S-1 for a trust holding Canton Coin (CC), which reported a circulating supply of 38.2 billion tokens as of March 31, 2026. For the RWA market, this development is significant because it provides a dedicated, permissioned environment for high-friction workflows like collateralized repo and structured products. Ultimately, the success of this initiative will depend on the network's ability to convert these institutional partnerships into live, high-volume production deals.

Can Tokenized Stocks Unlock a $5 Trillion Opportunity? Securitize CEO Bets Big on the Next Phase of Blockchain Finance

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo recently outlined a strategic vision at ETHConf, identifying tokenized equities and ETFs as the next major growth engine for the RWA sector. While the current tokenized market is valued at approximately $30 billion, largely driven by U.S. Treasuries, Domingo argues that migrating even 2% to 3% of the $150 trillion global equities market could unlock a $5 trillion opportunity. Unlike existing synthetic or derivative-based stock products, Securitize emphasizes the necessity of providing investors with direct ownership rights through blockchain-based infrastructure. To facilitate this, the company is collaborating with the New York Stock Exchange and Computershare to modernize issuance, settlement, and trading processes. By leveraging Ethereum and smart contracts, Securitize aims to balance regulatory compliance with the efficiency of 24/7, near-instant settlement. This approach positions blockchain as a parallel, more efficient layer to traditional finance rather than a replacement. Ultimately, this shift represents a significant evolution in capital markets, moving beyond simple digitization toward a more integrated and accessible financial ecosystem.

Tokenized Equities Hit a New Record: Why DeFi Rails Are Moving Beyond Crypto Collateral

In May 2026, the tokenized asset market reached a record $28.9 billion market capitalization, driven by significant growth in tokenized Treasuries and equities. Tokenized stocks specifically saw a 20.4% monthly increase to $2.41 billion, while RWA perpetual futures volumes surged to $211 billion, with equity-specific perps accounting for $54.0 billion. This shift represents a transition from speculative crypto-native collateral to balance-sheet efficiency, utilizing regulated issuance and atomic delivery-versus-payment to reduce settlement risk. Companies like Securitize are expanding their infrastructure through partnerships with Jump Trading Group and Jupiter, leveraging FINRA-approved custody and on-chain settlement. While institutional demand for assets with established cash flows is rising, the U.S. SEC continues to scrutinize the space, recently delaying an innovation exemption for tokenized stocks due to concerns over shareholder rights. The integration of these assets into DeFi rails allows for improved collateral management and cross-asset structured products. Ultimately, this evolution signals that decentralized finance is increasingly serving as a venue for traditional securities, provided that compliance, custody, and regulatory clarity are maintained.

Securitize Introduces STAC Tokenized Fund on Solana via BNY

Securitize has expanded its Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC) to the Solana blockchain, marking a significant milestone for institutional-grade credit products on the network. This expansion is supported by a collaboration with BNY Mellon, which serves as the primary custodian for the fund's underlying assets. Ethena Labs plans to allocate $250 million to the fund using its USDe stablecoin, representing one of the largest investments in tokenized structured products on Solana to date. Originally launched on Ethereum in October 2025, STAC provides exposure to AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations without the use of leverage. The fund currently manages approximately $102.16 million in assets with a 30-day yield of 4.50%. This move underscores the increasing convergence of traditional financial instruments and high-performance blockchain infrastructure. By integrating with Solana, Securitize aims to enhance the accessibility of institutional credit, positioning the network alongside other major platforms hosting significant tokenized assets like BlackRock’s BUIDL fund.

Digital Asset raises $355 million to expand Canton network as institutional onchain infrastructure

Digital Asset has successfully raised $355 million in a new funding round to accelerate the expansion of the Canton Network, a blockchain-based infrastructure designed for institutional financial markets. The investment round attracted significant participation from major global financial institutions, including HSBC, BNP Paribas, Citadel Securities, CME Ventures, and Broadridge. This capital injection underscores a growing industry shift toward regulated, interoperable blockchain solutions that can support traditional and digital securities simultaneously. By enhancing the Canton Network, Digital Asset aims to provide the necessary plumbing for institutional-grade on-chain finance, addressing critical needs for privacy, scalability, and regulatory compliance. The involvement of such prominent market participants signals strong institutional confidence in the transition toward distributed ledger technology for core financial operations. This development is pivotal for the RWA market as it establishes the foundational infrastructure required to tokenize and trade complex financial assets at scale. Ultimately, the funding positions the Canton Network as a central hub for connecting disparate financial systems within a unified, secure, and compliant ecosystem.

Nasdaq Launches Issuer-First Tokenized Equity Gateway With Kraken

Nasdaq has officially launched its issuer-first tokenized equity gateway, a strategic initiative designed to facilitate the seamless movement of tokenized assets between regulated traditional markets and global on-chain environments. This framework prioritizes the preservation of issuer rights, regulatory compliance, and price integrity, addressing critical hurdles in the adoption of institutional-grade tokenized securities. The program, which builds upon a formal proposal filed by Nasdaq with U.S. regulators in September 2025, currently features a partnership with the crypto exchange Kraken. By maintaining voluntary participation, Nasdaq aims to collaborate with a broader ecosystem of transfer agents, regulators, and market participants to refine the infrastructure. This development signals a significant shift in the competitive landscape, as traditional exchange operators increasingly vie for dominance in the digital asset space. Notably, the Intercontinental Exchange is also accelerating its efforts, having recently invested in OKX with plans to introduce NYSE-listed tokenized stocks by the second quarter of 2026. These moves collectively underscore a growing institutional commitment to integrating blockchain technology into equity markets to enhance liquidity and operational efficiency.

Citi predicts the tokenized securities market will grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030

Citi's latest report, Tokenization 2030: Wall Street On-Chain, projects the global RWA market to grow from $17 billion today to a base forecast of $5.5 trillion by 2030. This transition is driven by major financial institutions like the DTCC, Nasdaq, and the Intercontinental Exchange integrating tokenization directly into traditional capital market infrastructure. The report identifies a critical tipping point as these entities move beyond testing into production, with the DTCC launching limited trades in July. Growth is expected to be concentrated in mainstream public markets, specifically targeting 10% of U.S. Treasury bills and 3% of U.S. public stocks by 2030. Stablecoins are projected to reach a $1.9 trillion market size, providing the necessary digital cash rails for instant settlement alongside digital bank deposits. Furthermore, legislative progress, such as the Clarity Act's advancement in the U.S. Senate, is providing the regulatory framework required for this scale. Ultimately, large financial institutions acting as 'Structural Orchestrators' are positioned to dominate by controlling both the underlying assets and the digital payment rails.
