BitGo says asset servicing is the real barrier to tokenized securities

BitGo executive Eugene Hahr argues that the primary hurdle for institutional-scale tokenized securities has shifted from basic custody to complex asset servicing. While holding digital tokens is a solved technical challenge, the industry now faces difficulties in managing the rights, obligations, and corporate actions attached to these assets. Hahr highlights that institutional adoption requires seamless integration of dividends, proxy voting, and daily reconciliation within existing risk and compliance frameworks. He notes that the U.S. and U.K. are approaching this evolution from different directions, with the U.K. focusing on infrastructure via the Digital Securities Sandbox and the U.S. prioritizing trading-led regulatory exemptions. The SEC's September 17 order serves as a critical milestone by allowing onchain venues to operate under conditional exemptions if tokens mirror underlying share rights. Currently, much of the equity tokenization market remains a wrapper for conventional assets, whereas money market funds and private credit have seen more mature production. Ultimately, banks and asset managers are demanding unified operating models that allow them to handle crypto, stablecoins, and tokenized securities without siloed infrastructure. This transition marks a shift toward practical, operational readiness as institutions seek to align onchain assets with traditional financial standards.

DTCC partners with BitGo to launch digital asset infrastructure for tokenized US Treasuries and equities

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has successfully piloted the tokenization of U.S. Treasuries and equities, marking a significant shift toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Utilizing its Tokenization Service, the DTCC converted traditional assets into digital twins to facilitate repo and reverse repo workflows. BitGo Bank & Trust serves as the exclusive OCC-regulated custodian, managing the onchain settlement and movement of these assets. Over 30 major financial institutions, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan, participated in the pilot to test interoperability and operational capabilities. This initiative builds upon previous collaborations with Digital Asset and the Canton Network to create a scalable, multi-chain environment. By integrating blockchain into the core clearing and settlement system, the DTCC aims to mitigate counterparty and infrastructure risks for institutional players. The full-scale launch of the DTC Tokenization Service is scheduled for October 2026, representing a critical milestone for the widespread adoption of tokenized real-world assets.

BitGo Takes Lead in $26.6B Real-World Asset Market With 27.5% Share

BitGo has emerged as the leading provider in the real-world asset (RWA) sector, capturing a 27.5% share of the total value locked (TVL) which amounts to approximately $7.3 billion. The broader RWA market has reached a total TVL of $26.6 billion across 21 projects, reflecting a significant 174.6% increase. Securitize and Ondo Finance follow as major players with 14.9% and 13.4% market shares respectively, while BlackRock holds 10.3%. Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain for these assets, hosting $15.1 billion or 56.6% of the total sector value. Despite Ethereum's lead, activity is diversifying across other networks including zkSync Era, Avalanche, and Solana. Monthly active addresses have surged by 61.3% to 10.1 million, largely driven by Robinhood's user base. This data highlights a maturing market where institutional and crypto-native infrastructure providers are scaling rapidly to support tokenized assets.
