Crypto Treasury Management Must Evolve for Tokenized Future
Morgan Stanley analyst Amy Oldenburg recently projected that the tokenized real-world asset market could reach between $3 trillion and $10 trillion by 2030, highlighting a significant shift in corporate treasury management. While the bank has delayed its own tokenized equity offerings until Q1 2027, the broader industry is moving toward integrating on-chain assets with traditional fiat operations. This evolution requires treasury teams to manage hybrid liquidity pools that combine bank-deposit fiat with digital assets like tokenized Treasuries or stablecoins. The operational challenge lies in bridging the gap between traditional banking rails and blockchain settlement, which currently operate in separate, inefficient silos. Companies like OneSafe are emerging to provide unified interfaces that handle both fiat accounts and crypto custody, aiming to streamline cross-border payments and payroll. As institutional custody solutions from firms like Standard Chartered mature, the focus for finance leads is shifting toward robust policy engines and role-based permissions. Ultimately, the transition to on-chain assets is not merely a product update but a fundamental change in how organizations handle liquidity, counterparty risk, and settlement speed.
