Citi is accelerating the institutional adoption of tokenisation. 🌐

Citi Token Services is expanding into the UAE and Japan, bringing blockchain-powered deposit and liquidity management capabilities to two major financial markets.

The significance goes beyond geography. Tokenised deposits enable institutions to move liquidity across borders, facilitate near-instant settlement and improve capital efficiency, with the potential to reduce reliance on traditional banking cut-off times.

As global banks integrate blockchain into their core infrastructure, tokenisation is increasingly moving from experimentation to real-world financial utility.

The next evolution of banking isn't just digital. It's on-chain.

🇪🇺 ESMA explores tokenised collateral in European financial markets.

The EU securities regulator has launched a Call for Evidence examining how tokenised assets could be safely used as collateral by central counterparties (CCPs).

The initiative focuses on liquidity, settlement efficiency, legal certainty and risk management, assessing whether blockchain-based assets can meet the safeguards required in traditional clearing systems.

Why it matters: Tokenised collateral could unlock faster settlement, greater capital efficiency and more streamlined collateral management across institutional markets.

While regulatory approval remains some way off, this marks another significant step towards integrating tokenisation into Europe's financial infrastructure.

🏦 Standard Chartered is strengthening its position in digital assets.

The banking giant plans to expand institutional custody in Singapore to selected cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenised real-world assets, subject to regulatory requirements.

Why it matters: Institutional adoption of tokenisation requires more than issuance. Regulated custody is a critical piece of the infrastructure needed to bring traditional finance on-chain.

Another step towards institutional-scale RWA adoption.

🚨 Wall Street meets Solana.

Securitize has launched 12 tokenised US equities, including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, on the Solana blockchain.

Each token offers 1:1-backed equity exposure, with USDC settlement and applicable shareholder rights.

Another major step towards bringing traditional capital markets on-chain.

Ondo is pushing tokenisation further into private markets.

Its new Private Markets offering will give eligible investors tokenised economic exposure to pre IPO companies through onchain notes, rather than direct ownership of the underlying shares.

The product is designed to make traditionally illiquid private market exposure more accessible, transferable and easier to hold onchain, with positions able to be self custodied and traded on secondary markets.

Ondo says it will begin with AI companies before expanding into areas including robotics, biotech, defence, energy, cybersecurity and space.

A significant move as tokenisation continues to expand beyond Treasuries and listed securities into private market assets.

BNB Chain has reportedly crossed a major threshold for tokenised markets, with around $1.1 billion in tokenised stocks and ETFs now represented on the network.

That makes BNB Chain the first individual blockchain reported to surpass $1 billion in this category, against a global tokenised equities and ETF market estimated at roughly $3.7 billion.

The bigger story is not simply the number.

Tokenised equities are beginning to move beyond experimentation and into meaningful market infrastructure, connecting traditional financial products with blockchain based distribution, settlement and programmable ownership.

The next phase will be shaped by liquidity, regulation, custody and stronger links between established financial markets and onchain infrastructure.

A significant milestone for the evolution of real world assets.

Europe’s capital markets are moving steadily towards tokenised infrastructure.

The ECB has now launched Pontes, enabling wholesale transactions in tokenised assets to settle in central bank money, while Project Appia is developing the longer-term blueprint for Europe’s tokenised financial ecosystem.

The ECB is also examining three models for bringing central bank money onto programmable infrastructure: directly tokenised reserves, interoperability between existing settlement systems and DLT networks, and privately issued settlement tokens fully backed by central bank reserves.

The significance goes beyond blockchain adoption. Tokenised infrastructure could bring issuance, trading, settlement, custody and servicing closer together, while enabling programmable and potentially atomic transactions where the asset and payment move simultaneously.

The direction of travel is becoming clearer: tokenisation is increasingly being considered as part of the future architecture of European capital markets, rather than simply an experimental layer alongside them.

Binance is pushing tokenised equities further into the financial infrastructure of crypto markets.

Seven bStocks — PDD Holdings, Forward Industries, SharonAI, Wendy’s, Adobe, Hewlett Packard and Zoom — are being added as eligible collateral across Binance Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin and Portfolio Margin Pro.

For eligible users, that means tokenised equities can now do more than simply provide price exposure. They can also be used as collateral to support margin trading, expanding the practical utility of digital securities within a broader trading ecosystem.

It’s another example of the line between traditional securities and digital asset markets continuing to narrow — with tokenised real-world assets increasingly becoming usable financial instruments rather than passive representations of ownership.

Morgan Stanley is pushing deeper into digital assets.

The Wall Street bank has established a Digital Asset Lab where teams can test technologies including stablecoins, tokenisation, tokenised deposits, DeFi applications, CBDCs and tokenised money-market funds in an environment separated from its core production systems.

The significance goes beyond crypto trading. It gives Morgan Stanley a controlled setting to explore how blockchain infrastructure could ultimately be used across payments, settlement, investment products and capital markets without exposing its wider banking platform to early-stage technology risk.

Another sign that tokenisation is moving from experimentation toward the infrastructure of traditional finance.

Tokenisation is moving from concept to scale.

WisdomTree’s tokenised fund AUM has now surpassed $1.2bn, as the asset manager brings its tokenised funds, infrastructure and investor platforms together under WisdomTree Onchain.

A strong signal that blockchain-based fund infrastructure is becoming an increasingly meaningful part of traditional asset management.

Goldman Sachs is bringing its ~$100B FTIXX Treasury fund onto Lynq’s institutional settlement network, giving qualified U.S. digital-asset firms a way to move idle cash into a traditional Treasury money-market fund, earn yield, and redeploy capital within their settlement workflow. Trades are facilitated through SEC-registered broker-dealer tZERO Securities.

The important distinction: FTIXX itself is not being tokenised. Instead, an established TradFi product is being connected to blockchain-based settlement infrastructure. Lynq operates on a private, permissioned Avalanche L1 and FTIXX is its first external fund offering.

Another signal that the boundary between traditional capital markets and digital-asset infrastructure is getting thinner.

NYSE and https://t.co/3ZuUnGc2ih have signed an agreement to explore bringing tokenised U.S. equities and ETFs to https://t.co/3ZuUnGc2ih users through the NYSE’s planned digital trading venue, subject to regulatory approvals. The partnership could ultimately extend access to more than 44 million confirmed https://t.co/3ZuUnGc2ih accounts.

A significant step towards connecting traditional capital markets with blockchain infrastructure and expanding how investors access, trade and settle securities globally.

The SEC’s five year Innovation Exemption opens a path for tokenised U.S. equities to trade onchain via permissioned AMM pools.

Tokens must preserve shareholder rights, issuers can object, trading is capped and smart contracts must be public and auditable.

The UK is moving tokenisation from pilots toward real market infrastructure.

Following feedback from 123 industry respondents, the FCA and Bank of England are developing a joint roadmap for wholesale tokenisation, with post trade infrastructure and collateral emerging as key priorities.

Coinbase is raising the bar for tokenised equities.

Fully backed securities. Redeemable for the underlying shares. Dividends integrated. Voting rights coming next.

No synthetics. No debt wrappers.

A major step toward opening the $70T+ US equity market to investors globally through blockchain infrastructure.

The future of capital markets is moving onchain.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

We’ve set the standard with Coinbase Tokenized Stocks.

No synthetics or debt instruments, real fully-backed securities, redeemable for the underlying shares, with dividends integrated, and voting rights coming soon.

That means access for global investors and institutions to the $70T+ US stock market built on a solid foundation.

The UK could be about to give tokenised gold its own regulatory lane. 🇬🇧

The FCA is considering exempting certain tokenised gold products from existing fund rules - potentially making digital bullion easier to issue, trade and use as collateral.

A significant signal for UK tokenisation.

Tokenisation becomes far more important when the money itself moves on-chain.

DBS, OCBC and UOB have completed live SGD interbank transactions using interoperable tokenised deposits connected through Swift.

Why it matters: tokenised assets ultimately need tokenised money to settle against. If banks can move regulated commercial bank deposits across interoperable blockchain rails, the path to faster, programmable and more automated capital markets becomes much clearer.

This is less about replacing banks, and more about upgrading the infrastructure they already use.

The most important part of this number is not the $1.41B.

It is what happened while traditional market infrastructure was closed.

Tokenised representations of equities continued trading throughout an 89.5-hour shutdown, offering a glimpse of capital markets built on rails that do not depend on exchange opening hours.

The question may soon shift from whether markets can operate 24/7 to why so much of finance still cannot.

🚨 $10T JPMorgan CEO on tokenization:

“We always use technology to do a better job for clients.”

Blockchain is simply the next layer:
• Faster settlement
• Lower costs
• Global infrastructure
• Permissioned + permissionless
Tokenization isn’t coming — it’s here.
