a16z frames it nicely: "Building for institutions requires understanding procurement, compliance, controls, channel partners, and long sales cycles."
Institutions are reconfiguring DeFi around exactly those constraints, keeping the primitives that fit and rebuilding the rest.
What emerges is a distinct category: programmable financial infrastructure. Built on blockchain rails, drawn from DeFi, and operated in a permissioned, compliant way.

JPMorgan's new tokenized money market fund holds $693 million about two months after launch, driven largely by stablecoin issuers. The GENIUS Act bars them from paying interest on their tokens, so they park reserves in regulated onchain funds that earn it instead.
Regulated yield is becoming the base layer, and institutional credit is what gets built on top of it.

Forbes reported that the tokenized asset market has reached roughly $60 billion, with most of it sitting idle onchain.
Tokenizing an asset is the first step. Putting it to work requires institutional credit rails.

π¨NEW: EU SET TO EXPAND MiCA RULES TO TOKENIZATION & STABLECOINS
The European Commission is reportedly preparing to expand MiCA to cover tokenized assets and non-EU stablecoin issuers, reflecting the rapid growth of on-chain finance and shifting global crypto regulations.
The review comes just weeks after MiCA took full effect, with regulators seeking to future-proof the framework as tokenized stocks and RWAs continue to gain momentum.

Japan just approved RLUSD for launch via SBI. The compliant money layer keeps expanding across Asia, and that settlement base is what institutional onchain credit is built on.
We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
US regulators are moving to require stablecoin issuers to run customer identification programs. Six agencies, including the Fed, OCC and FDIC, advanced KYC rules under the GENIUS Act this month, with final regulations due by July 18.
Know-your-customer is becoming the baseline for stablecoins. Compliance is turning into core infrastructure for onchain finance.

Bernstein report this week: tokenized RWAs at $51B, up 40% YTD, despite the broader crypto market falling.
Private credit is the largest category at 47% of the total.
Institutional interest in tokenization is accelerating independent of crypto market conditions.
Step by step, this is exactly what we built Prime for.
Citi just published their Tokenization 2030 report.
Key takeaways:
- $17B today, $5.5T by 2030 (base case). Bull case $8T - Five asset classes drive the call: public equities, US treasuries, private credit, private equity and real estate funds.
- Stablecoins hitting $1.9T is what makes it all work.
- DTCC, NYSE and Nasdaq are now in production, not pilots.
- Their bigger call: value goes to whoever vertically integrates issuance, distribution and settlement. They call them "structural orchestrators."
