"Tokenization today is roughly where the internet was in 1996," said BlackRock What does that actually mean? In 1996, the internet infrastructure worked. It was reliable. Websites loaded. Email delivered. But adoption was tiny. Amazon had sold $16 million worth of books. Total. Google didn't exist. Neither did Facebook....

🌐 XDC Network x Brickken | Institutional Tokenization Infrastructure In our latest XDC Network show, we sat down with Ludo R., Co-Founder and CRO of Brickken, to discuss what real, institutional-grade tokenization looks like in practice today. Brickken has already enabled $300M+ in tokenized value across 16+ jurisdictions, supporting compliant issuance of equity, debt, funds, and real-world assets. This is not experimental infrastructure. It is production-grade. One of the biggest misconceptions is that tokenization is mainly a technical challenge. In reality, the hardest work happens off-chain: legal structuring, jurisdictional compliance, and institutional onboarding. Brickken exists to unify all of this into a single operating layer. We discussed why Brickken chose to integrate with XDC Network. Institutional finance cannot operate on unpredictable costs or congested networks. XDC’s fast finality, near-zero and predictable fees, and enterprise-aligned infrastructure make it a practical foundation for real-world assets. The bigger shift is who is leading adoption. Early narratives focused on retail. What we are seeing now is institutions moving first, driven by efficiency, instant settlement, and operational clarity as regulatory frameworks mature. Tokenization is entering its next phase: plug-and-play infrastructure, institutional-grade standards, and real integration with traditional finance. Podcast supported by XDC Foundation

Joseph Chalom explains why BlackRock launched BUIDL on Ethereum “I’m not a spokesman for Larry Fink, but he really evolved his thinking on Bitcoin, and I give him a lot of credit because there’s very few people in their 60s or 70s who have the humility to continue to be a student of the market and a student of technology. And he learned that it’s an incredible store of value and has a role in a portfolio.” “I think BlackRock and others believe even more strongly that tokenization will essentially lead to the democratization and digitization of all of finance. Crypto is a $2.4 trillion market. Total financial assets are over $700 trillion. Our clients wanted to know where we were going, and we led them along.” “We launched a token called BUIDL, which was a yield-bearing security on mainnet Ethereum that was interchangeable 24/7 with stablecoins and could be used as collateral in on-chain transactions. That became the largest tokenized fund in history — not because it was BlackRock, but because we provided real utility. The industry was missing real examples and use cases of utility, and we wanted our first foray into tokenization to be something that would break barriers and give clients more utility than what they had, which was that stablecoins were not earning yield.” BUIDL has grown to $2.5 billion, and BlackRock has since filed to launch two new tokenized money market funds on Ethereum. BSTBL brings the nearly $7 billion Select Treasury Liquidity Fund on-chain, with BNY Melon keeping the official shareholder registry on Ethereum in ERC-20 tokens. BRSRV is a new fund built for stablecoin reserves and the GENIUS Act-driven institutional demand for tokenized Treasury yield. Source: Thinking Crypto Podcast (Mar 2026)

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan: “Ethereum is the leading play on stablecoins and tokenization” “The community had gone somewhat astray and was in the depths of despair earlier this year with a super long technical roadmap and accusations of being ‘ivory tower’, and now they’re much more tasked on the market. I think they’re shipping better. I think the community is focused on investors. I think it’s their market to lose on stablecoins and tokenization, so I’m very bullish on ETH and own a lot of it — it’s the second largest position in our crypto index fund. Very very bullish.” Matt believes the market is underestimating tokenization in particular: “You have the chair of the SEC saying the entire market will move onto blockchain-based rails. You have the CEO of the largest asset manager saying every asset will be tokenized. And yet, people still talk more about stablecoins than they do about tokenization. Tokenization is a bigger market. There’s $100 trillion of equities. There’s more of that of bonds. There’s even more of that in real estate. Those are enormous markets. The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, CBOE, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan — they’re all focused on this space. I just think it will happen faster than people think. I come from the ETF industry, and people were hugely skeptical of that as an evolution in financial markets. I saw the same sort of grassroots-level adoption there that I’m seeing in tokenization. I think people are underestimating the uptick.” Ethereum has 61.4% market share of all tokenized assets ($206.2 billion). Source: MR SHIFT 🦁 (Jan 2026)

#RWA is the strongest narrative in crypto It’s the foundation of the next financial era and Brickken is leading that charge They’re building institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure that’s already proving itself: 🧱 $300M+ in tokenized assets across 16 countries 🧱 100+ institutional clients — from asset managers to regulated entities 🧱 Active in European + Spanish regulatory sandboxes 🧱 Strategic partners with BNB Chain, MANTRA Chain, Circle, Chainlink BUILD, and more This is tokenization done right regulated, scalable and built for real institutions. The RWA movement is still early. But if you’re looking for the team actually powering it from the ground up, it’s Brickken building it brick by brick! $BKN

If you do anything today, please listen to this 3-min clip on what Co-CEO Joseph Chalom refers to as The ETH Opportunity... FYI, Joe is the former Head of Digital Assets Strategy at BlackRock, who drove the creation of IBIT, ETHA, and BUIDL. "The more assets and transactions that are secured on the Ethereum network, have been proven to increase the value of ETH..." "If you look at the last 5 years, for each $2 secured on the network, on Ethereum and the L2s, it's driven about $1 of market cap value of Ethereum [ETH]..." "And if you take a step back and say stablecoins are at this size today, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says it's gonna grow to a trillion over the next 3 years, if you look at the adoption of RWAs, which is in the first inning and can literally go j-curve, the value of tokenized assets which could be measured in the trillions or tens of trillions... they are gonna be secured by a decentralized network. We believe the vast majority is gonna be Ethereum. That is a bull case for ETH..." "If more assets are secured on the Ethereum network, the value of ETH will go up, and the value of it being a trust commodity, the highest value of money, is gonna be critically important if you believe we are at a paradigm shift, and that's what I call the ETH opportunity. It's not a trade, it's an ETH opportunity." "And for all of those who feel like they missed the early days of crypto, you are at still a very early entry point in the adoption of Ethereum and that is the long term ETH opportunity, not the ETH trade."

Most people think they understand finance. They don't. They know how to send money. Maybe how to trade. But the actual machinery underneath who controls which assets, who gets access to which markets, who decides who can even participate most people never see that part. And that's exactly where the problem starts. Right now, trillions of dollars in real-world value real estate, bonds, private credit, alternative funds are locked inside systems that were never designed to include you. Not unless you have the right passport, the right broker, the right balance in the right bank account. Traditional finance has always had an invisible velvet rope. Most of us just never got close enough to see it. Blockchain was supposed to change that. And it tried. DeFi opened a door. But even DeFi, for all its freedom, couldn't actually touch the real world. Tokens, yes. Speculation, yes. But actual real-world assets handled with proper compliance, proper security, proper legal enforceability that gap never really closed. Until something like Real comes along and asks a very different question. What if you didn't bolt RWA tokenization on top of an existing chain? What if you built the entire Layer 1 around it from the ground up? That's what Real is. The first fully decentralized, fully permissionless L1 blockchain built specifically not partially, not as a feature, but architecturally for the native tokenization of Real-World Assets. What does that mean ? It means things like bonds, real estate, private credit, and commodities can live on-chain with full transparency, full compliance, and full security baked into the protocol itself. Not added later. Not patched in. Native. They call it solving the "RWA Trilemma." Most tokenization projects have to sacrifice one of three things security, decentralization, or regulatory compliance. You either get compliant and centralized, or decentralized and legally fragile. Real built a hybrid validator architecture that doesn't make you choose. Business validators tokenizers, risk scorers, insurers each play a specific role in the asset lifecycle, staking tokens and facing real onchain penalties if they act wrong. The result is a system where real-world assets carry their own risk data, their own compliance metadata, and their own insurance all embedded directly at the protocol level. $29 million raised. A partnership with Wiener Privatbank SE: an actual institution. A partnership with RWA Inc. The $16 trillion RWA opportunity. A target of $500 million in tokenized assets. The numbers matter. But what matters more is the architecture. This feels like someone actually sat down and thought: what would financial infrastructure look like if it was rebuilt for the next hundred years? Finance was always a wall. What Real is building slowly, quietly, but very deliberately might just be a door. And most people still don't see it yet. #UCCC

SharpLink CEO and former BlackRock Exec Joseph Chalom on what the inflection point in tokenization will look like “We went through a period in tokenization where you had individual projects tokenized and everyone got excited. Franklin Templeton tokenized a money market fund called BENJI, then BlackRock did BUIDL, then our friends at Apollo did ACRED. So you’re going organically one fund or project at a time.” “What I’m looking for is some asset manager to wake up one day and not tokenize a fund but tokenize a fund complex measured in the hundreds of billions… When you see [massive one-time step functions], you know you’re at the right point of tokenization and it’s irreversible. So not individual projects, but entire complexes and asset classes. When that happens, there’s no going backwards.” Yesterday, BlackRock filed to launch two more tokenized money market funds. One is a newly created fund built specifically as a stablecoin reserve vehicle. As more stablecoins come to market, issuers are seeking reserve funds that are both Genius-compliant and tokenized to allow for 24/7 trading and near-instant settlement. The other is more interesting. And it's only on Ethereum. Unlike BUIDL, which was its own standalone fund, BlackRock added a tokenized share class to BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund (a $6.1B fund inside their institutional money market complex, BlackRock Liquidity Funds). The complex holds hundreds of billions across funds like FedFund, MuniCash, and T-Fund. The infrastructure is now built inside the complex. Extending it to FedFund or MuniCash next is a much smaller lift than what BlackRock just did. Chalom's step function isn't here yet, but the rails are - on Ethereum. Source: CoinDesk (Feb 2026)

The RWA tokenization market hit $24B in 2025. That's up 380% in 3 years. By 2030? Projections point to $16 trillion. But here's what nobody's talking about: 90% of current infrastructure can't handle what's coming. Even chains built for RWAs fall short. They tick some boxes, but not all five. Real-world assets infra needs: 1. Tamper-proof canonical ledgers 2. On-chain legal documentation 3. Predictable, zero-gas operations 4. Multi-chain reach without losing control 5. True sovereign infrastructure Most solutions nail two or three. Almost none deliver all five. And here's the thing: liquidity is mercenary. It will move to whatever chain offers the best infrastructure. No loyalty, just efficiency. The winner is whoever provides infrastructure that ticks all five boxes. Read my full take on RWA infra requirements:

Six months ago Ethereum was almost $5,000. Today it's under $2,000. When I put that to Tom Lee in Paris, his response was: "Has anything really changed?" Tom Lee (Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com) is one of Wall Street's most-followed forecasters. While the market wrote Ethereum off, he made the case to me that it's one of the most mispriced assets in the world right now. His framing stuck with me. Gold is worth ~$22 trillion. The stock market over $100 trillion. Real estate ~$300 trillion. And to make those assets composable and move them on-chain, he argues, you run them on Ethereum, which sits at a fraction of that. "If Ethereum is at 300 billion, it's grossly undervalued." We cover: - Why he calls this "crypto spring", fundamentals stronger than ever while price lags - Why tokenization is "not even a question," and what happens when Wall Street actually moves on-chain - Why AI agents carrying wallets and making payments is, in his words, "pretty close to 100%" within three years - Why he can see Ethereum as a 1, 2, or even $5 trillion network "in the next few years" - What most investors are missing at exactly the wrong moment That's his call, not mine, but it's one of the clearest bull cases I've heard on why the biggest move may still be ahead. Full conversation is live. 👇 Is Ethereum the most undervalued asset in crypto right now?

Six months ago Ethereum was almost $5,000. Today it's under $2,000. When I put that to Tom Lee in Paris, his response was: "Has anything really changed?" Tom Lee (Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com) is one of Wall Street's most-followed forecasters. While the market wrote Ethereum off, he made the case to me that it's one of the most mispriced assets in the world right now. His framing stuck with me. Gold is worth ~$22 trillion. The stock market over $100 trillion. Real estate ~$300 trillion. And to make those assets composable and move them on-chain, he argues, you run them on Ethereum, which sits at a fraction of that.

Jeff Bezos on the insight that started Amazon: In 1994, Bezos came across a statistic that changed his life: worldwide web usage was growing at roughly 2,300% a year. "That was sort of a wakeup call for me that there was something going on," he recalls. At the time, most people hadn't even heard of the web. This was the era of 28 kilobit per second modems and dial-up access. A very different age. But the signal was clear. Something was coming. Jeff Bezos explains the realisation that followed: "I realized you could make a bookstore on the web that could hold more books than a physical bookstore could ever hold. It could truly have universal selection." His background was in computers, not books. He's quick to point out that books weren't chosen out of personal passion: "My real compass, my real passion was computers, and that's how I was involved in this world of the web back in 94. But books was a great first best product to sell online." So why books specifically? Bezos breaks down the logic: "Books were very unique and still are in one respect, and that is that there are more items in the book category than there are items in any other category. There are millions of books active and in print around the world, and the largest physical book superstores only carry about 100, 150,000 of those millions of different books." That gap between what existed and what was accessible was the opening. On the web, you could solve a real problem. People couldn't find the books they wanted, especially the narrow, niche titles with smaller audiences. "We basically built Amazon to make it possible for people to find those hard to find books."

George Soros gave Ron Baron $5 million in 1976, along with five other analysts - the other five traded constantly - Baron just held: "my $5 million became $10 million with very little trading, which surprised them. But it was the best record that they had" that $10 million started Baron Capital in 1982 - The firm now manages $69 billion this is him explaining what he thinks Starlink alone will be worth, what SpaceX is charging Anthropic and Google for compute right now, and why he says nobody can compete on cost "we think Starlink does a trillion dollars of annual revenue in ten years and $700 to 800 billion of profits. That means Starlink alone is worth around $14 trillion. The entire company is valued at less than $2 trillion today" "we sold capacity to Anthropic for $1.25 billion a month. Then Google said we need compute too - $900 million a month. That's $30 billion a year from assets that were producing nothing" bookmark & watch the full conversation - then read the article below ↓

🚨BREAKING: BlackRock Exec at Ripple Swell: “The Market Is Ready — Trillions Are Coming On-Chain” 💥 This might’ve been the most electric moment of Ripple Swell 2025. Maxwell Stein, a representative from BlackRock, took the stage and straight-up said what everyone’s been waiting to hear: “We’ve seen what early adopters of crypto have done — they’ve shown us what’s possible. And now… the market is ready for broader adoption.” You could feel the room shift. Stein credited Ripple and other early builders for proving that blockchain works — not as a concept, but as real financial infrastructure. 🏦 “They’ve already tokenized fixed income, bonds, stablecoins… that’s where it started. But this is the rails for trillions in capital flows.” 💬 BlackRock saying “trillions” — at Ripple’s own event — isn’t a coincidence. It’s a signal. Institutional money is no longer circling the crypto industry… it’s starting to plug in. He finished with a challenge to the room: “You crypto people — keep building market momentum.” And just like that, Ripple’s narrative of “institutional rails for global liquidity” hit a whole new level of credibility. 🚀

Why BlackRock CEO Larry Fink calls Ethereum “the toll road to tokenization” “In Davos, my old boss Larry Fink had a great slide when he was talking about the future of finance that said, ‘Ethereum is the toll road to tokenization.’” BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto Joseph Chalom explains: “There’s a recognition from the largest, most sophisticated institutions in the world that Ethereum is going to be the global financial ledger because it has the trust, liquidity and security.” Asked if there’s a role for more centralized L1 blockchains, Joseph replies: “I do think there will be roles for other L1s — I think they’ll be specialized. Solana does an amazing job on meme coins, altcoins, and gaming, and there may be use cases. But if you look where the largest financial institutions in the world are building their money market funds, trading applications — Robinhood, Coinbase — it’s on Ethereum. I’m not here to FUD others. I think the Solana Foundation did a great job over the past several years when there was a bit of a gap in the Ethereum narrative and leadership to steal some of that marketing thunder. But marketing thunder is not real world use cases.”

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.”

David Friedberg: “AI is the new lightning rod for fear and divisiveness that ultimately breeds compliance and control.” “Peter Thiel said this best. He's like, ‘Look at all the money that's going into AI, there's really only one company that's making any money, and that's Nvidia.’” “Like at this point, the jury's still out. We don't even know what AI is.” “It's sort of like when the internet was happening, everyone thought these fiber optic switch companies were going to make all the money.” “Turns out that was wrong. It was the end applications that made all the money.” “And they competed in many different markets. from Google, to Amazon, to Uber.” “You can go down the list of all the beneficiaries of the core infrastructure technology of the internet that was built out.” “So what is really going on?” Well, AI is the new lightning rod for fear and for divisiveness that ultimately breeds compliance and control.” “Which is where these politicians are trying to drive the populace and the voting conditions in the United States.” “And that's what's going on right now.” “There's a lot of fear about, ‘Putting this data center in my town is gonna do X or Y or Z,’ with no real conversation about the truth of that matter.” “There's a lot of fear about wealth creation being aggregated in the hands of a few when as we saw with the internet, it benefited the many.” “And that fear mongering is a very similar tactic that we've seen in the prior generations where policies were misstated, fear was used, and then voting control allowed folks to come to power that were looking for power.” “So I think it's just the lightning rod at the moment.”
