tokenized

Сообщение от ChainCatcher, PumpFun объявил, что в соответствии с отзывами сообщества, недавно добавленные на платформу различные варианты выпуска привели к рассеиванию внимания пользователей и ненужной конкуренции, поэтому было решено с сегодняшнего дня прекратить предоставление функции выпуска Tokenized Agent.Эта функция больше не будет поддерживать новые выпуски токенов, но уже активированные токены не пострадают. PumpFun заявил, что в будущем будет сосредоточен на моделях выпуска, которые могут значительно улучшить опыт торговли для розничных инвесторов.

The tokenized asset platform RootData has released the "Exchange Tokenized Asset Provider and License Map," systematically sorting the paths and regulatory licenses of providers and brokers in mainstream exchanges such as Binance, Gate, Bitget, and Bybit for products like real stocks, TradFi stocks, CFD contracts, and tokenized stocks. The map shows that the current stock-type assets on exchanges have gradually formed a three-tier structure: real stock spot mainly relies on a regulated brokerage system for securities execution and custody; TradFi stocks are primarily based on CFDs/Perps; tokenized stocks are mainly supported by solutions like Ondo and xStocks. Among them, Binance currently accesses Alpaca Securities through Nest Trading to provide real US stock/ETF exposure and has launched Ondo stock tokens in the Alpha zone, with plans to introduce bStocks later; Gate's real stock collaboration is with AIpaca, CFDs adopt the MT5 model, and perpetual contracts are self-operated by the platform; Bybit currently mainly uses the Backed Finance (xStocks) solution; Bitget provides 1:1 US stock/ETF tokenized products through its own Reality (rToken) brand. RootData believes that as the tokenized stock market heats up, competition among exchanges is gradually shifting from merely launching products to underlying broker capabilities, real securities custody, and regulatory license capabilities, with licensed brokers like Alpaca Securities strengthening their infrastructure roles across multiple platform ecosystems.

According to Fortune, Binance is accelerating the expansion of its traditional financial services, planning to add U.S. stock trading features to its platform and launch tokenized stock products, further developing towards a "super app" model.It is reported that Binance will offer over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs for non-U.S. users and plans to launch self-initiated tokenized stock products called bStocks in the coming weeks.Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng stated that users can purchase stocks using digital assets such as USDC, USDT, and BNB, and it supports fractional trading with a minimum of $5 and zero commission. This service is provided by Nest Trading for brokerage support, while Alpaca is responsible for custody, dividend distribution, and corporate action processing. Binance claims that bStocks will convert traditional stock holdings into programmable, always-on, on-chain tokenized assets.Previously, Binance had re-launched on-chain tokenized assets tracking U.S. stocks and ETFs such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia through a partnership with Ondo Finance.

In the latest report titled "Tokenization 2030: Wall Street On-Chain" released by Citigroup, it is estimated that the market size for tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) will grow from the current approximately $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030. Depending on different adoption speed scenarios, the market size range may be between $2.7 trillion and $8.2 trillion.The report predicts that by 2030, approximately 10% of the U.S. short-term treasury market and 3% of the public equity market will be tokenized. At the same time, the expansion of the stablecoin market may bring about $1 trillion in new demand for U.S. treasuries; if 10% of U.S. retail investors shift to digital trading platforms, it is expected to create approximately $2.6 trillion in digital equity demand.Citigroup believes that as traditional financial assets gradually move on-chain, tokenization is expected to become an important bridge connecting Wall Street with blockchain infrastructure and drive the digital transformation of global capital markets.

The tokenized U.S. Treasury fund VBILL under VanEck has officially launched on the DeFi lending protocol Euler. The fund is issued and tokenized by Securitize, allowing investors to use tokenized U.S. Treasuries as collateral for on-chain lending and liquidity operations, while also meeting compliance requirements. This move reflects that DeFi protocols are accelerating their transformation towards institutionalization and compliance to attract traditional financial capital into the on-chain market.Data shows that the scale of tokenized U.S. Treasuries has surpassed $15 billion, growing approximately 150% over the past year. Traditional asset management giants such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Janus Henderson have all launched on-chain Treasury or money market products. Euler has previously integrated Securitize's DS Protocol to support the access of tokenized securities with investor qualification restrictions and transfer rules to the lending market. DeFi protocols like Aave are also laying out institutional-level RWA business. Institutions expect that the asset tokenization market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. Securitize executives stated that as traditional financial institutions enter the crypto space, DeFi protocols must find a balance between openness and compliance requirements.

According to The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced that its "Project Agorá" tokenization prototype has successfully verified the feasibility of atomic settlement for cross-border wholesale transactions. The prototype employs a layered architecture, utilizing tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits to achieve "all or nothing" transaction chain execution across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, while allowing central banks to retain operational autonomy.Legal analysis shows that finality of settlement can be achieved in all seven participating jurisdictions, and privacy protection can also be ensured within a compliant framework. The project is jointly initiated by the BIS and the International Financial Association, with participation from seven central banks including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Mexico, and the Swiss National Bank, as well as over 40 private financial institutions. In the next phase, the Bank of Canada will officially join as the eighth central bank member, and the project will advance to the real value testing stage, further expanding private sector participation.

Hua Xia Fund (Hong Kong) announced the official launch of the tokenized gold exchange-traded fund "Hua Xia Digital Gold ETF," which will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on May 29, 2026. This fund relies on a native blockchain architecture, with physical gold stored in institutional-grade vaults in Hong Kong, adopting a physical replication strategy and not involving futures or other derivative investments.

According to CoinDesk, Mastercard Transaction Services (U.S.) LLC, a subsidiary of Mastercard, has been granted a BitLicense by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), allowing it to conduct digital asset-related business in the state. This approval is part of its strategy to build a blockchain-based payment and settlement infrastructure, focusing on stablecoins and tokenized deposits.The New York BitLicense requires licensed institutions to meet strict standards in areas such as capital, cybersecurity, compliance, and consumer protection. Mastercard stated that this license will support its layout in digital currencies such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits, while continuing to adhere to the compliance and operational standards of its global payment network, promoting the parallel development of traditional financial systems and blockchain payment tracks.

According to CoinDesk, Solana's decentralized exchange Orca has launched a "permissioned pool" infrastructure aimed at tokenized trading of physical assets with high compliance requirements. The first participant is the commodity tokenization company Streamex, whose gold-linked security GLDY will become the first compliant token traded in this system.Orca stated that this mechanism is primarily aimed at the U.S. market, allowing only qualified investors who have passed KYC verification to buy, sell, and hold the relevant tokens. Issuers can customize access rules, which will be automatically enforced by the on-chain system. The permissioned pool operates on top of Orca's existing liquidity infrastructure, and the interface will indicate whether assets are restricted and whether users are eligible to trade.

a16z stated on social media that Ethereum continues to lead in the field of tokenized assets, consistent with its first-mover advantage in DeFi and institutional adoption. The current scale of tokenized assets on major blockchains is as follows:Ethereum: $15.7 billionBNB Chain: $4 billionSolana: $2.2 billionStellar: $1.7 billionLiquid Network: $1.5 billionXRP Ledger, ZKsync Era, Arbitrum: approximately $1 billion eacha16z indicated that tokenized assets are not concentrated on a single blockchain but are spreading across multiple blockchain ecosystems based on standards such as cost, liquidity, compliance requirements, and market entry relationships, forming a multi-chain coexistence pattern.

a16z crypto pointed out that not all tokenized assets are fully utilized on-chain. Bonds are currently the largest category of tokenized assets, with a market value of $15.2 billion, but only about 5% of the supply is used for DeFi; precious metals are similar, having been tokenized but mostly idle.In contrast, smaller categories perform differently: reinsurance tokens have 84% of their supply deployed in DeFi, while private credit stands at 33%. a16z believes this makes sense, as the categories with the highest DeFi usage were built for DeFi from the start, such as Nexus Mutual and Maple Finance.a16z noted that many practices currently referred to as tokenization are actually closer to digitization, meaning that records are moved onto the blockchain but do not unlock more new features, while one of the core value propositions of on-chain financial systems is composability.

Digital asset market infrastructure provider Prometheum recently launched Digital Brokerage Solutions, offering agency clearing, custody, and trading services for broker-dealers and registered investment advisors (RIA), enabling them to provide cryptocurrency assets and tokenized securities directly to clients through traditional brokerage accounts.Co-founder and co-CEO Aaron Kaplan stated that hundreds of billions of dollars in tokenized securities have been issued on-chain, but there is a lack of distribution channels to reach mainstream investors. He believes that the crypto industry has solved the tokenization issue but has not yet addressed the distribution problem, and that broker-dealer and RIA channels are key to achieving scalable reach to investors.

According to the official announcement, Binance Wallet has launched a new feature called EventRush, allowing users to trade tokens representing the outcomes of real-world events such as sports events, cryptocurrency price targets, or news.This feature is supported by the 42.space protocol on the BNB Chain, allowing users to purchase event tokens using USDT on BSC, and they can sell or hold until settlement at any time before the event ends. Winners can share the entire prize pool with no limit on earnings. A service fee is required for each transaction, and a redemption tax must be paid when selling.This feature is available to all verified Binance Wallet users, although it may not be accessible in certain restricted regions.

a16z crypto stated that the current tokenized commodity market is almost entirely dominated by gold. It cited data from rwa.xyz indicating that as of May 7, 2026, the on-chain tokenized gold market has reached approximately $5 billion, capturing the vast majority of market share; in contrast, the tokenized silver market is only about $28,100,000, the tokenized gold ETF (iShare Gold Trust) is about $14,100,000, and other commodity categories total approximately $2,950,000.a16z pointed out that gold possesses characteristics such as global circulation, standardization, and a long-standing reliance on paper certificate trading, making it naturally suitable for tokenization. Products including Tether Gold (XAUt) and Pax Gold (PAXG) essentially map the ownership of gold stored in vaults to on-chain wallets. It also noted that, apart from gold, tokenized oil, agricultural products, energy, and computing power commodity assets are still in a very early stage, with relatively limited market share.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed a broad exemption plan for U.S. cryptocurrency companies to trade tokenized assets. Sources say that SEC staff originally planned to release the so-called "innovation exemption" as early as this week, allowing relevant institutions to advance trading of tokenized assets linked to U.S. stocks under certain conditions. The report states that the draft plan has been drafted and reviewed by SEC staff.

Tiger Research's Research Director Ryan Yoon stated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to launch an "innovation exemption" framework that allows third parties to tokenize listed stocks without the issuer's approval.Ryan Yoon warned that this move could cause two major structural shocks to traditional exchanges: first, liquidity fragmentation, as funds will disperse from centralized exchanges to multiple blockchain platforms; second, revenue fragmentation, as trading fees and intermediary income may flow to overseas or competing platforms, threatening the competitiveness of U.S. finance.He believes that traditional exchanges are like monopolistic superstores, while tokenized stocks are akin to allowing anyone to set up a street stall, which will significantly change the concentration of capital markets. The SEC is advancing this framework at this time to keep global financial income within the domestic regulatory scope.

According to Cointelegraph citing Token Terminal data, the market capitalization of tokenized stocks has surpassed $1.6 billion, with Ethereum leading with a market share of 41.1%.

U.S. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated that the SEC's "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks is expected to apply only to on-chain equity products. She pointed out that synthetic tokens that merely mimic stock price performance but do not possess full shareholder rights are expected to not meet the relevant regulatory exemption requirements.

According to CoinDesk, MoonPay announced the launch of a new platform, MoonPay Trade, aimed at banks, fintech companies, and corporate clients, providing unified access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and stablecoin liquidity, covering over 200 blockchain networks.It is reported that MoonPay Trade will become the core execution layer of its institutional business, MoonPay Institutional, supporting tokenized fund subscriptions, collateral transfers, and integration with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling institutions to conduct lending and yield generation operations directly on-chain.

JPMorgan's latest report points out that although tokenized money market funds have revenue potential, they still only account for about 5% of the broader "stablecoin system," and the core position of stablecoins in the crypto ecosystem is unlikely to be replaced in the short term.The report states that stablecoins have become the default "cash tool" for trading, collateral, settlement, cross-border payments, and liquidity management, widely used in centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols, while tokenized money market funds are constrained by their securities characteristics, subject to registration, disclosure, and transfer restrictions, resulting in structural regulatory disadvantages.Analysts at JPMorgan, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, expect that without significant changes in the regulatory environment, the market size of tokenized money market funds is unlikely to exceed 10% to 15% of the overall stablecoin market. Current demand is mainly concentrated among crypto-native investors seeking yield and institutional funds looking to balance on-chain settlement with traditional asset protection.The report also notes that although tokenized funds have advantages such as near real-time settlement, 24/7 transfers, and automated clearing, their growth is still constrained by liquidity, counterparty risk, and regulatory uncertainty. JPMorgan believes that in the absence of regulatory easing, these products will struggle to challenge the infrastructure-level position of stablecoins in the crypto market.
