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.

$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.
