Product roundup: Global X’s new ETF seeks to capitalize on growth of tokenized finance

Global X ETFs has launched the Global X Tokenized Securities ETF, trading under the ticker BTOK, to provide investors with exposure to the burgeoning tokenized finance sector. The fund tracks the Solactive Tokenized Securities Index, which includes companies involved in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, tokenization platforms, and digital asset custody. By focusing on the underlying technology providers rather than direct token holdings, the ETF offers a regulated vehicle for institutional and retail investors to participate in the RWA ecosystem. This launch signifies a growing trend of traditional asset managers creating bridge products that connect legacy financial markets with decentralized ledger technology. As tokenization gains traction for assets like real estate and government bonds, the demand for infrastructure providers is expected to scale significantly. The inclusion of firms like Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, and various financial technology providers in the index highlights the diverse nature of the tokenization value chain. This development marks a critical step in the mainstream adoption of RWA-related equities within traditional brokerage accounts.
