The real state of tokenization in 2026, beyond the headline numbers
Our CEO @edwin_mata sat down with @CarlosRomanoYT to unpack the real state of RWAs, the institutional shift to Ethereum, and why most "tokenized" numbers you see online are misleading:
• Tokenization is not crypto. It's the representation of a real financial instrument with an underlying asset. Different game, different buyer.
• The product is liquidity mobility, not the chain. Whoever wins is whoever moves liquidity across chains without the user ever noticing.
• Distributed beats represented, every time. "Represented" means trust a PDF. "Distributed" means issued and moved on-chain, verifiable, collateralizable. It's the only number that reflects real adoption.
• The 4-year cycle is over. ETFs brought institutional liquidity, MiCA gave banks compliance cover, and the market is maturing into something steadier.
The thread running through all of it: the financial system is rebuilding on a global, programmable ledger, and the winners will be the ones building infrastructure for liquidity to move freely across it.

ERC-7943 is now Final.
The next question is not what the standard is.
It is what it changes.
For tokenized real-world assets, the problem has never been only issuance.
The harder problem is interoperability across compliance models, identity systems, transfer restrictions, freezing logic, and enforcement workflows.
ERC-7943 creates a minimal, vendor-neutral interface for that control layer.
It does not tell institutions how to comply.
It gives issuers, developers, and infrastructure providers a shared interface to build on.

Another proud moment at WAIB Summit Monaco was recognising @Brickken with the Rising Star Award.
Accepted by Edwin Mata, Co-Founder and CEO of Brickken, the award celebrates companies that are emerging as major forces in the industry through strong execution, clear vision, and growing market impact.
Under Edwin’s leadership, Brickken has built one of the sector’s most advanced platforms for compliant tokenisation, serving financial institutions, asset managers, and regulated entities that need precision, auditability, and scale.
By enabling the digitisation, issuance, management, and operation of real-world assets across both financial and tangible categories, Brickken is helping create stronger links between traditional finance and on-chain infrastructure.
Congratulations to Brickken on this well-deserved recognition.
Today, our CEO @edwin_mata goes live for a clear update on where the ecosystem stands, what the team is prioritizing next, and how the roadmap connects to the broader shift from tokenization infrastructure to programmable capital markets.
This session will touch on the evolution of Brickken, the role of BKN in the next stage of the ecosystem, and why the market is moving beyond simple asset tokenization toward cross-chain coordination, AI agents, vaults, and agentic capital markets.
The focus is not only what has changed.
It is what Brickken is preparing for next.

Tokens don't create new rights. They represent existing ones.
On last week's presentation, Celina made a point that cuts through most of the noise around tokenization:
Blockchain and tokens are not a new legal layer. They don't grant entity, status, or rights that weren't already there. What they do is represent something that already exists, structured and regulated in the real world.
The token is the vehicle. The right is the asset.
That distinction is what separates serious institutional tokenization from speculative narratives. The legal structure comes first. The technology carries it.
This is the foundation every issuer, regulator, and investor needs to start from.
Our @MBK_Alliance Ambassadors are examples of the outstanding young people we’ve been proud to support at the @ObamaFoundation over the years. We hope the Obama Presidential Center inspires even more.
Heureux de vous retrouver à Nice, mon ami le Président Macron. Je vous remercie d’avoir participé à « Bharat Innovates », alors que nos deux nations célèbrent « l’Année de l’innovation ».
