The crossover goes both ways. Crypto-native exchanges are expanding beyond digital assets and into RWAs and tokenized stocks. Franklin Templeton’s Roger Bayston shares how this shift benefits both sides. ⮜ ⮞ Converge x The Defiant x Chris Storaker x Camila Russo ⮜ ⮞

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso The reverse is also true. Traditional brokerage firms are expanding their businesses into crypto.

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso Tokenization gets real when venue, legal wrapper, NAV and transfer rules are inspectable—not just a ticker. VERIFY the asset, FUND the flow, RUN the rails.

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso Exchanges absorbing RWAs and tokenized stocks also absorb the custody and transfer agent functions that used to sit with separate parties.

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso The expansion to both sides is the interesting thing. Crypto provides infrastructure and liquidity, while TradFi provides real assets.

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso Those are all digital assets too Sir

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso @Casper_Network ✅️🌐💵👻

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso two-way crossover is exactly what we need crypto exchanges bringing RWAs and tokenized stocks onchain will flood DeFi with fresh liquidity and composable assets that TradFi users can actually put to work 24/7.

Crypto exchanges diversifying to stonks & co always felt more like the « coming of age » of trading venues, realising that crypto as a « get rich quick / via trading » already grew old. Glad to discover I was just a grumpy toxic 2021 cycle cryptobro without a proper depth of understanding. We’re so back

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso The crossover is interesting. What makes users stay?

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso Crypto is becoming finance. Finance is becoming crypto. Eventually we’re just going to call it “the market.”

@FranklnTempletn @ConvergeDefiant @DefiantNews @Storaker @CamiRusso Exchanges listing real assets is the other door opening. Both sides need a market after the ticker.
