“The industry is ready for tokenization.” At Sibos 2023, Chainlink Labs team members met with world-leading financial institutions. One insight from talking with industry leaders was that the financial system is ready for tokenization. Since the September event, there have already been a number of massive leaps forward: 1. HSBC launched a blockchain-based platform for tokenized gold. 2. SDX_global settled the first transaction of tokenized assets on a regulated and live DLT platform using a wholesale CBDC. 3. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink shared on CNBC that “ETFs are step one in the technological revolution in the financial markets. Step two is going to be the tokenization of every financial asset.” Not to mention, Chainlink is collaborating on tokenization use cases with Swift, DTCC, ANZ Bank, Vodafone, ARTA TechFin, and many others. In 2024, the adoption of tokenized assets is set to expand even further. #TheFutureIsOn

The White House Digital Asset Summit was an inflection point for the blockchain industry. It is a key step toward accomplishing President Donald J. Trump’s objective of the U.S. becoming the “crypto capital of the world,” which will drive major innovation in the blockchain industry not only in the U.S. but on a global scale. Sergey Nazarov shared his takeaways from the event: • The cryptocurrency and stablecoin markets have reached a sufficient size where they cannot be ignored by governments. For example, stablecoins consist of 2-5% of the U.S. treasuries market by utilizing them as reserves. • The main courses of action in supporting these markets include Bitcoin and digital asset stockpiles; regulations that enable DeFi, Fintech, and TradFi to participate in onchain markets; and making the U.S. the leader in digital asset infrastructure and the number one place where digital assets are created. • For the U.S. to be a leader in crypto, it needs to be the place where base (original) assets are generated, which are then repackaged and sold around the world. Doing so requires creating highly reliable assets that are accessible across all blockchains and embedded with automated compliance. • Chainlink uniquely supports these objectives by allowing various information about assets to be proven (e.g., Proof of Reserve), thereby making them highly reliable. Furthermore, Chainlink can connect tokenized assets to all blockchains via the CCIP standard as well as connect assets and smart contracts to various data points such as identity to automate compliance. The Chainlink standard is ready to make blockchains, smart contracts, and oracle networks the infrastructure powering the global financial system.

Every major bank, financial institution, and government is saying the same thing: tokenization is the future of finance. Literally every single financial asset is going to be tokenized and brought on-chain, and it's now imminent. As soon as Gensler is out, expect TradFi to quickly start embracing tokenization, and that's when I expect the RWA narrative to go parabolic. The tokenization project that I'm most bullish on is $CHEX (aka Chintai), and my expectation is that it does at least a 10x from here and establishes itself as the top RWA L1 within the next couple of months. Every financial institution is going to have their own tokenization platform, similar to how they all have their own app or website. The problem is that building their own tokenization platform is resource intensive - it takes years to build and will cost millions of dollars. This is where Chintai’s white-label solution becomes essential. Instead of building a tokenization platform from the ground up (which would take years and cost millions of dollars), big players like Blackrock or Goldman Sachs could roll out their own self-branded tokenization platform on top of Chintai’s infrastructure. This white label approach lets financial institutions like Goldman Sachs go to market faster with a better quality product, while staying ahead in the race to tokenize RWA's —without having to bear the massive costs of building and maintaining the technology. Keep in mind that every single entity that white-labels this technology would be deploying their tokenization platform on top of the same shared Layer-1 blockchain, driving network effects. Just think about this for a second...dozens of institutional clients, each launching their own tokenization platform on the same shared L1. For this reason, we could realistically see the Chintai L1 have $10B+ of TVL in 2025, giving it the second highest TVL of any blockchain, behind Ethereum. For a lot of projects, TVL is a vanity metric, but for CHEX there's actually a direct connection between the tokens utility and the amount of RWA's tokenized and brought on-chain. It's also important to keep in mind that in order to use the white label tech, these financial institutions literally have to buy CHEX. One way I try to explain the CHEX token is that you can look at it as an RWA ETF that pays you dividends. TLDR: Chintai is an RWA L1 for financial institutions to deploy their own tokenization platform via white-labelling, and it will have billions in TVL. Financial institutions will hold $CHEX on their balance sheet thanks to its institutional-grade tokenomics. Target price: $4-$10 Current price: $0.42

Was very excited about this thoughtful conversation with Jonathan Ehrenfeld, Head of Strategy at Swift. I think it clearly showcases the large benefits of Swift as a private key signing infrastructure, financial standards organization and network for routing key financial messages/information across the capital markets, among many other key services it already provides. It is clear to me that for our industry to go to the next stage, we need to make sure that blockchains become compatible with the existing financial system. Chainlink has a key role to play in making that happen, by simplifying the connectivity of those traditional data, payment and compliance systems into all blockchains, as well as the connectivity of those blockchains between each other. There will continue to be more and more critical data, identity, payment, compliance and other key systems to be integrated into and across blockchains securely, which I feel Chainlink is in a unique position to address in ways no other system can. You can hear my and Jon's views in the full podcast here:

Robinhood Robinhood just made its testnet available for developers to start experimenting. We spoke with the fintech’s Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat ahead of the launch: “Our vision is not just to have one or two products there, but to have the entire Robinhood infrastructure to be slowly replaced by the blockchain. We are going to start with decentralized tokenized asset platform, decentralized lending platform, decentralized perpetual future exchange, all these things that exist already in different chains. And then we are slowly going to actually launch our own products. The goal of this public announcement is really to invite developers to talk to us and to start building with the chain and to start looking at the documentation and understand how we can work all together.” Watch the full interview here:

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink believes tokenization is inevitable and that one common blockchain is the future. Context matters. BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager and has been tasked with advising on Ukraine’s post-war state assets, underscoring the depth of its institutional and political reach. After this interview went viral, much of the crypto communit, particularly on X and YouTube, pointed to #Ethereum as the natural default implied by Larry Fink’s remarks: a system where all investments are tokenized and capital can move seamlessly across asset classes. Importantly, BlackRock’s flagship tokenized fund, BUIDL (BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund), is built on Ethereum, via partners such as Securitize. In practice, this shows how BlackRock is already implementing the “one common blockchain” vision articulated by Larry Fink, positioning Ethereum as the leading institution-grade infrastructure for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization today. Here’s what Larry Fink said, “I think the movement towards tokenization and digitization is necessary. We need to move very rapidly to doing that. We would be reducing fees and increasing democratization if all investments were on a tokenized platform. Capital could move seamlessly from money market funds to equities and bonds, back and forth. If we had one common blockchain, we could reduce corruption.”

This changes everything for tokenization. For years, the industry has talked about compliance in digital assets, but nobody has delivered true compliance inside the asset, inside the transaction, and inside the smart contract. Today, Nexera × Evergon reveal a breakthrough: Fully Embedded Compliance. ➡️ Identity verification triggered the moment an investor interacts ➡️ Policy rules executed at the smart-contract layer ➡️ Real-time supervision that reacts instantly to abnormal wallet behavior ➡️ Automatic eligibility checks that update in seconds ➡️ Enforcement across both off-chain and on-chain environments This creates a new category in the market: compliance that lives at the heart of tokenization. Every token, every transfer, every investor can now be governed by rules that adapt dynamically to regulatory requirements. Banks, institutions, and enterprises have been waiting for this level of control. Tokenization has been waiting for this foundation. Compliant DeFi becomes possible because of breakthroughs like this. 🎥 Watch the demo and see the new standard of regulated tokenization.

A world first: a demonstration of AI running *on* blockchain as a smart contract 🧠⚡️ The Internet Computer is used – the world's first 3rd gen. blockchain #ICP. AI will become the beating heart of our web3, multi-chain world, and this is only my first demo. Code will follow shortly. This is running on DFINITY's Internet Computer testnet, but you'll be able to take the code and run it on the public network as the NNS is expected to up the per-transaction instruction limit in the coming days. Some important notes. The inference engine used has not been optimized, and we will show vastly greater efficiency in subsequent demos, where the AI runs even faster, and consumes less gas/cycles. We will also propose to the NNS that smart contracts have access to SIMD instructions – which we have determined are deterministic – unlocking vastly more speed and efficiency. Lastly, currently the actor smart contracts ICP hosts run inside a 32 bit environment, which limits their main memory to 4GB. Within the next couple of months, we expect the Internet Computer to move to a 64 bit environment, allowing smart contract memory limits to be raised much higher – allowing for models with far more parameters, and thus power, to be run. Those of you who have followed my posts know that hardware optimization support is planned. Firstly this will involve WASM smart contracts shipping out matrices for processing by the CPUs on existing node machines (another advantage of the Internet Computer running on sovereign node hardware). Secondly, we plan to propose a new public node machine specification, which node providers can build to, for use in subnets specialized for hosting AI smart contracts, in which each machine will incorporate several GPUs. Naturally, this will be packaged with other technological developments that ensure smart contract determinism. This is part of our mission to enable powerful LLMs to run as smart contracts on the Internet Computer – in a forms that are tamperproof, unstoppable, and optionally autonomous (including under the exclusive control of DAOs). Our vision: you will be able to have a chat with a smart contract. A smart contract will be able to coordinate your organization (see my earlier tweet about a "Delphi"). ICP smart contracts will be able to audit Ethereum smart contracts, kitemarking those without backdoors and reentrancy bugs. And smart contracts will be able to do KYC autonmously, matching faces to driving licenses, and more. We will deliver new SDK enhancements, and work with partners, to turbocharge crypto AI developers. Secure and unstoppable AI and third generation blockchain will be two sides of the same coin. Security and AI will be indivisible. AI models will be traded as NFTs. Thanks to Internet Computer's chain key (trustless multi-chain) capabilities, all blockchains will be able to leverage AI smart contracts. The future is beyond exciting. Thanks for watching. Can't wait to give you more demos!

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)

[…] The [Ethereum] network has never been stronger, more resilient, or future-proofed to scale with Layer 2s plugged in and ready for the institutional moment right now. Asset price will follow.” “[BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink is a pioneer in the space. He has been a visionary, and his voice is heard and listened to by everyone else on Wall Street. The banks are looking at him. The asset managers are looking at him. He’s one of the leaders that’s digital assets-forward, and when he tokenized BUIDL — their money market fund — on Ethereum before there was regulatory clarity and before we got out of the Gensler SEC, that set the standard for Ethereum to be the default.” “Ever since then, the money in money market funds on Ethereum has multiplied. Stablecoins on Ethereum have multiplied. And now Larry Fink is coming in and saying, ‘We need one common blockchain’ so that we don’t have fragmentation and all tokenized assets can be in one place. That means Ethereum — it’s the best set up for it.” Source: The Rollup (Mar 2026)

I am increasingly convinced that the RWA trend is the early stages of getting the traditional financial system onto blockchains in a way that we have not seen yet. Some of the world's largest financial institutions are already putting tokenized funds on-chain, and I think we are just at the very early stages of this trend. Chainlink already powers many of the top RWAs and the need for both data and cross-chain working in one system is even greater here than it initially was in DeFi. There will also be tokenization platforms, which integrate the highly secure and widely adopted Chainlink data and cross-chain standards to power various key aspects of RWA tokenization e.g. Fireblocks collaboration The trillions of dollars in value that will flow into the RWA format makes it something that I see as likely to surpass the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. Our industry may sometime soon be defined by RWAs more than it is by cryptocurrencies, similarly to how the internet was at one point about email, but then went on to be defined by more uses of information technology e.g. ecommerce. The influx of value into the blockchain format/RWAs will also feed a boom in DeFi, where many of those assets will be placed to generate greater yield. Slides: Video:

Tokenization as Infrastructure, Not a Shortcut In this clip, André Casterman explains why tokenization is best understood as an upgrade to the internet’s financial infrastructure, not a guarantee of liquidity or success. Tokenization does not create demand on its own. Liquidity still matters. What it does change is the efficiency of how value moves. Cheaper settlement. Faster transfer. Native verifiability. Stablecoins are a clear example. Instead of routing payments through correspondent banking and local clearing entities, value can move directly by transferring tokens. The asset does not need to be physically moved or reconciled across jurisdictions. The result is lower cost and less friction. Verifiability is the real unlock. Unlike physical assets, which require costly and invasive processes to prove authenticity, tokenized assets can be verified on-chain, publicly, and without altering the asset itself. This is the shift from moving information to moving value. Tokenization is not a product. It is infrastructure. And infrastructure is what enables real-world use at scale. — André Casterman 🇦🇪

A very interesting perspective from Vlad Tenev, Co-founder of Robinhood, on why he believes traditional equities will move onto blockchain rails given the efficiency gains. In my humble opinion, by 2030, that is in just 5 years, equities across the world are going to be tokenized and traded on chain. Our demat shares will be linked to blockchain wallets. Why? -> Instant trustless settlement, no T+1, T+2 -> 24x7 running efficient markets -> Much more cost effective, billions of dollars saved -> Above all, fully transparent and inclusive But this is just the beginning of the tokenization revolution. A wide range of asset classes - from real estate and bonds to fine art and luxury collectibles, even digital identities - will be tokenised for the benefits and transparency it brings. I am working on a deeper-dive on this topic. Will share it soon!

Anyone who tells you that blockchains “eliminate the need for Swift” has no idea what they’re talking about Swift is not a payment network, it’s an interbank messaging network Their SwiftNet private key infrastructure and banking messaging standards like ISO20022 are used by 11,000+ banks globally to facilitate the communication of payment instructions between banks Imagine taking 11,000 banks, who already have private keys and standardized formats for messaging, and connecting them to blockchains in a way they can re-use all of this existing infrastructure and messaging standards That’s exactly what Swift and Chainlink have been working on for years Last year, Swift published a report on how Chainlink CCIP can successfully connect Swift-member banks to any public/private blockchain using their existing infrastructure and messaging standards (12+ of the largest global financial institutions and FMIs were involved): Just yesterday, Swift published an article on how they’re moving forward on real-world solutions that will enable Swift members banks to access/transact with tokenized assets / currencies on the Swift network They note this builds upon their prior work, which they’re now advancing to the next stage (they explicitly link to their work with Chainlink): Swift isn’t going away, and their involvement in the blockchain ecosystem will massively accelerate the adoption of tokenized assets / currencies / stablecoins within the financial system Attached clip of Sergey Nazarov explaining this at Consensus 2024 on stage with Swift’s Jack Pouderoyen (Digital Assets & Currencies at Swift) I wonder how much longer this misconception about blockchain “killing” Swift will continue to persist in our industry I recommend paying attention to Sibos 2024

we just shipped the ability to submit any transaction and even deploy smart contracts using your bankr wallet. its become the programmable wallet for your agent. this is insane. i installed the bankr moltbot skill, gave it the link to the clawd.atg.eth PFP prediction market, told it i wanted to put 50,000 $CLAWD on option 1 and that was it. this is a big unlock because now an agent can interact with any smart contract onchain on its own. it doesnt need to be directly integrated into bankr. it figured out how to submit the transaction and used the new bankr skill to get it done.

My 100 second elevator pitch on ETH to tradFi. Bitcoin is 1 asset - just bitcoin. Ethereum is all possible assets. Which is bigger? Gold...or all the assets in the world? Bitcoin was designed to secure one asset, just bitcoin. Ethereum is a general purpose platform designed to secure everything else: stablecoins, loans, equities, bonds, derivatives - everything in finance. The word for this is: Tokenization. People like Larry Fink are saying every stock, bond, and asset will be tokenized on a global ledger. And even he's thinking too small - tokenization isn't just the assets of the past it's the assets of the future - AI compute, personal data, social status & celebrity. Everything will be tokenized. Ethereum is a global computing network to tokenize and program any asset. Ethereum adds property rights to the internet. Tokenization can and will happen on other platforms, but Ethereum is positioned the strongest contender to ride the tokenization wave. 100 million people own ETH. 100 thousand developers actively contribute to the code. Already, Ethereum settles more annually than the Visa network…and it’s just getting started. Now let's talk about ETH. The cryptocurrency of Ethereum is called ETH and has investible economics, including an algorithmic buy-back and dividend program that drives billions per year in earnings to ETH holders. This number grows as the network expands. You can build a DCF model on ETH as you word with a stock like Nvidia. And because ETH is extremely secure and decentralized like Bitcoin, more and more people are seeing ETH as a compliment to Bitcoin as a non-sovereign store of value. While bitcoin has greater certainty of supply, Ethereum pays a dividend and is deflationary, with the upside of the entire token economy. Bitcoin is exposure to digital gold. Ethereum is exposure to everything else. I own both. But if I could only pick one, I'd pick the superset. I’d pick ETH.
