Avalanche is uniquely suited for the demand side of tokenization: Fintechs, neobanks, and embedded finance platforms that put products in front of real users. That utility is what keeps asset managers onchain, as Olivia Vande Woude explained on The First Trillion Podcast:

Coinbase CEO: Tokenization will be great for asset management companies “I think [tokenization] will create more demand for funds and products. I think it’s going to democratize access and reduce a lot of the back office fees and costs to operate that type of business. More broadly, this term ‘tokenization’ is the idea that you have an underlying asset and then you make a digital token that 1:1 represents it. The first case we’ve seen this take off with is stablecoins… that’s the tokenization of the dollar. That took off and is doing great. It’s a huge growth area. We’re now seeing the tokenization of all these other asset classes — this can happen in real estate, private credit, and the funds that BlackRock, Apollo, and these firms put out. I think it’s going to just create more demand for their products essentially.” The world's largest asset managers are already doing this, and they're building on Ethereum: - BlackRock's BUIDL fund: ~$2.4B in tokenized U.S. Treasuries - JPMorgan's MONY: tokenized money market fund, seeded with $100M - Franklin Templeton's BENJI: $680M+ on-chain government money fund - Fidelity's FDIT: tokenized money market fund launched on Ethereum - Ondo Finance: $1.4B+ across tokenized Treasury products - WisdomTree, Hashnote, Superstate, Amundi, SocGen FORGE — all live Tokenized money market funds alone grew from $3B to $9B in a single year. Ethereum hosts ~57% of all tokenized real-world assets by value. Source: Norges Bank (Mar 2026)

When leaders like Apollo and BlackRock talk about tokenization, it signals a clear shift: finance is moving onchain. Avalanche has been ahead of that shift, already tokenizing complex structures like CLOs and proving that blockchain infrastructure can serve institutional-grade use cases today. At AVAX One, we see Avalanche as a natural foundation for onchain markets and adoption is only accelerating from here.

The rules still apply for finance onchain. Regulated institutions need the same controls, privacy, and safeguards expected in traditional finance. Only Avalanche is built for that level of institutional control. As Andre Frank, COO of Tassat Group, explains: the right partners matter all the way down to the blockchain level.

Big news for Avalanche 🔺 Anthony Scaramucci , founder of SkyBridge, just became lead advisor of AVAX One, the first NASDAQ-listed company built around Avalanche🔺 . Backed by Hivemind and the Avalanche Foundation, the plan is to raise $550M for a digital asset treasury dedicated to AVAX. So what does this mean? • Institutional gateway: For the first time, Wall Street investors will have a regulated, publicly traded vehicle to get direct exposure to Avalanche. • Massive bet on tokenization: Scaramucci compared Avalanche to a “Swiss Army knife” of blockchains thanks to its subnets, giving enterprises flexibility to customize and scale. • Adoption momentum: BlackRock, Visa, and JPMorgan are already experimenting with Avalanche to tokenize funds, payments, and even potentially stocks. • Focused growth: AVAX One’s first move is disciplined accumulation of AVAX with staking yield + long-term upside. From there, the company will invest into fintechs and onboard them onto Avalanche, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of adoption. • Scaramucci made it clear: while we live in a multi-chain world, Avalanche is uniquely positioned to lead in tokenization because of its enterprise tools and real-world integrations. AVAX One bridges traditional capital markets with on-chain finance, giving institutional players a trusted way to go all-in on Avalanche. The institutional era of Avalanche has officially arrived. 🔺
