Distributed assets on Avalanche is growing in value, people might think this is slow or not what people what's to see, but for me this is a steady momentum, a lot of institutions, businesses are really building here.
Day 22: Agricultural Commodities 🌾
A huge commodity category.
Wheat, corn, soybeans, sugar, coffee, cocoa. A $2T+ global market with one of the deepest funding gaps in emerging markets.
@centrifuge - Brought agricultural receivables onchain via partnerships with LATAM ag-finance firms. Crop financing as tokenized credit.
@dimitratech - Verified farm data and MRV (measurement, reporting, verification) frameworks. The data layer farmers need before tokenization works at scale.
Beyond these two, the category is mostly pilots and concepts.
It can be difficult as wheat from one harvest isn't fungible with the next. Custody can be brutal because every crop needs different storage, climate and insurance. Pricing fragments across hundreds of regional benchmarks too.
However there could be some opportunity here…$170B funding gap in agricultural finance globally. Smallholder farmers sit on physical inventory worth real money but can't use it as collateral with any bank.
Tokenization solves exactly this. Grain in a silo becomes provable, fractionable, usable.
xStocks x Franklin Templeton
Seven @FranklnTempletn ETFs are coming to xStocks, bringing institutional-grade exposure to U.S. equities, gold, senior loans, and income strategies directly onchain.
This is what institutional-grade tokenization should look like.

Rise. Read. Repeat.
Day 13: Oil 🛢️
A category nobody’s really tokenizing yet…
$6T global market. Almost nothing onchain.
There is a handful of projects actually trying:
@IndexLitro - Oil veteran Yves Lamarre’s project. 1 token = 1 litre of physical crude, pegged to Brent and WTI. Testnet through May, mainnet January 2027. The most credible attempt going.
INDEX Exchange (also @IndexLitro) - The regulated venue Lamarre is building to trade it. Capital Union Bank in talks as banking partner. The infrastructure is more important than the token.
Seems like oil is brutal to tokenize. Storage costs a lot of money. Custody is a logistical nightmare. Settlement drags through tankers, insurance, port authorities, and geopolitical risk. It’s not gold in a vault, it’s a barrel that might be stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.
If LITRO can ship in January next year and delivers 24/7 trading with physical redemption, the $6T oil market might start moving differently.
Oil is the last big commodity TradFi hasn’t figured out how to put onchain.
Not there yet. Worth watching.
We just made tokenized assets easier to use in DeFi.
In our latest blog post, we walk through the Vault Registrar Sandbox: four tools to take a DeFi protocol from zero to a live vault registration on Ethereum Sepolia.

Think it’s fair to say ONDO Global Markets are doing alright.
$1.25B in tokenized stock TVL, with Ondo Global Markets leading at $920M.
Around about a 70% market share on Tokenized stocks, if I’m not mistaken.
"I'll be able to invest in land in the Philippines and earn 10% in stablecoins. That's what excites me."
This isn't about us. It's about giving people access to opportunities they'd never otherwise have.

We’re barely past the starting line.
Just over $30B of RWA value sits onchain today. The total addressable market is in the hundreds of trillions…
That’s not a sector. That’s a runway.
You never know what’s coming next and that’s the what makes it so exciting.
The 10 firms running the RWA market…
- Top 3 (Circle, Tether, Paxos) hold $7.6B between them
- Roughly 25% of the entire RWA market in three names.
- The gap from #3 to #4 is over $1.1B.
- Stablecoin issuers dominate the top.
- TradFi is here - Federated Hermes, Bank of New York, Bosera all in the top 10.
