Tokenization is no longer a back-office experiment. It’s the front office. Sandy Kaul from Franklin Templeton Digital Assets and Ian De Bode from Ondo Finance join our Stateful podcast, hosted by Franklin Bi. In this episode, they discuss how capital markets are coming onchain: - 100% of Franklin Templeton’s digital asset AUM comes from net new crypto-native customers - Ondo’s tokenized ETFs: permissionless, 24/7, usable as DeFi collateral like stablecoins for stocks - AI agents will need blockchain rails to execute 183 trillion in machine-to-machine transactions - A crypto whale bought $50M of Google stock in a single trade.

"Tokenized assets are exploding in value." Ian de Bode is President Ondo Finance, the company bringing US treasuries, stocks, and ETFs on-chain. He watched tokenized treasuries grow from $1 billion to $15 billion in two years. The man building the rails between Wall Street and crypto now says the two systems are about to merge and traditional finance isn't ready. "You should prepare for a world in which tokenized securities co-exist with normal securities. So get ready." We cover: Why tokenized assets exploded from $1B to $15B and aren't slowing down How every crypto exchange became a stock broker overnight Why Tesla and Google don't care about tokenizing their stock (and why that doesn't matter) How every token is backed 1:1 with daily third-party attestations Why tokenized stocks work like stablecoins: your wallet, no permissions, 24/7 How hedge fund leverage loops and carry trades come to DeFi Why perps on stocks could become a bigger market than all of crypto The road to markets that never close and who moves first What the Genius Act and Clarity Act actually signal Thanks to Ian De Bode for coming on New Era Finance Podcast. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:50 - Tokenized Assets Explode To $15 Billion 02:40 - Where The Demand Comes From 04:30 - Native Tokenization vs Permissionless Wrappers 07:20 - How Every Token Is Backed 10:00 - Using Tokenized Stocks In DeFi 13:30 - Leverage, Collateral & Capital Efficiency 17:00 - Perps On Stocks: Bigger Than Crypto 21:00 - The Road To 24/7 Markets 24:30 - Genius Act, Clarity Act & What's Next
