WATCH: Congressman William Timmons on tokenized securities and blockchain technology: “I’ve long been interested in the concept of tokenization, not just as an emerging technology, but for its potential to integrate on-chain systems seamlessly into our financial markets in the near future, realizing that potential will require clear, well-defined...

Why Tokenization Could Be the Most Important Economic Innovation of Our Lifetime | Bruce Fenton Bruce Fenton is a longtime Bitcoin advocate since 2012, securities professional, and one of the early pioneers of tokenized securities. He is the founder and CEO of Chainstone Labs and founder of Atlantic Financial. Alongside Overstock founder Patrick Byrne, Bruce was involved in some of the earliest efforts to bring securities and financial-market infrastructure onto blockchain rails. In 2018, he tokenized equity in his own company, Chainstone Labs, on the Ravencoin blockchain—years before tokenization became one of Wall Street’s biggest narratives. In this episode, Bruce breaks down naked short selling, the plumbing behind traditional securities markets, and why he believes much of the problem is ultimately a ledger problem. We dive into questions such as: Who actually owns the stocks sitting in your brokerage account? How can shares be lent and rehypothecated? What role do brokers, clearing firms, DTCC, and Cede & Co. play in determining who owns what? And could blockchain replace an opaque system of claims and intermediaries with a transparent ledger showing exactly where an asset is and who owns it? We unpack what “tokenized stocks” actually means—and the important distinction between a token that simply gives you exposure to a stock’s price and a security issued natively onchain, where the token itself represents the actual share and the ownership rights that come with it. Bruce discusses how tokenization could allow smaller businesses to tokenize ownership and have their stock traded globally without needing to be listed on a traditional exchange like the NYSE, as well as what a future without KYC could look like. Finally, we get into Wall Street’s embrace of tokenization, the SEC’s evolving approach to tokenized securities, and one of the biggest questions surrounding the future of this technology: who ultimately controls these new financial rails?

DTCC. BlackRock. State Street. Citi. Nasdaq. New York Stock Exchange. These are the major players in the room today.🏛️ And they are preparing for a fundamentally different financial system.🌐 The SEC is actively moving U.S. equity markets toward 24 hour trading while major market infrastructure firms prepare for the operational changes required to support it.⏰ Why does this matter for blockchain?🙇‍♂️ Because blockchain technology is built to operate 24/7.✅ There is no closing bell. No weekend shutdown. No traditional settlement window. Blockchain enables assets to be issued transferred and settled continuously. Now the traditional financial system is beginning to move in the same direction.⏩ And today the SEC took another major step by allowing limited trading of tokenized stocks on regulated onchain venues through its Innovation Exemption.☝️ This is bigger than one piece of legislation. Federal regulators and the largest financial institutions in the world are actively changing the infrastructure of the financial system.🔑 They are preparing markets for continuous trading. Finalizing plans for Tokenized securities. Directly placing assets on-chain. These are signals that confirm blockchain integration into traditional systems is accelerating.💯 The closer these systems move toward 24/7 markets, the closer crypto becomes a major component to the global financial system.🔒 No future administration can undo these massive changes. 🗣️ #InTheRoom💨

Today, SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced Project Crypto in a landmark speech, a bold initiative to modernize U.S. securities regulation for the blockchain era. His vision charts a clear path forward, one that embraces tokenized securities, stablecoins, and crypto-native infrastructure as core components of American capital markets. Chairman Atkins acknowledged what many in the industry have long experienced: U.S. regulatory ambiguity pushed innovation offshore, leaving both entrepreneurs and investors behind. But the momentum behind tokenization is undeniable: “...firms from household names on Wall Street to unicorn tech companies in Silicon Valley are lined up at our doors with requests to tokenize.” Today’s message is unambiguous: the U.S. must lead in tokenized finance, not follow. At Ondo, we’ve long believed that real-world assets onchain are not a niche innovation, they’re the future operating system of global markets. Project Crypto proposes laying a framework for modernizing markets: 1. Regulatory clarity around tokenized stocks, bonds, and other securities 2. Support for compliant crypto asset distributions, including ICOs and airdrops 3. Modernized custody rules, reaffirming the right to self-custody 4. A vision for “super-apps” that unify crypto services under one regulatory umbrella 5. Innovation exemptions to bring breakthrough technologies to market faster Legacy frameworks have excluded U.S. investors from innovation, and Project Crypto promises the opposite: a future where American capital formation happens onchain, and U.S. markets lead. We are encouraged by Chairman Atkins' vision and committed to building the infrastructure that will power America's tokenized economy.

My conversation with Rob Hadick >|<. As General Partner at Dragonfly, Rob has one of the clearest views on how blockchain is evolving from speculative crypto into the actual infrastructure of global capital markets. In this episode we dig into why finance, payments, asset issuance, and markets are the only parts of crypto that are truly scaling and how the industry is quietly becoming TradFi’s onchain upgrade. We spend a lot of time mapping traditional capital markets primitives directly onto blockchain rails and examining where value is actually going to accrue as tokenization, stablecoins, and onchain trading mature. At the center of the conversation is the belief that blockchain is no longer building a parallel financial system it is becoming the settlement, issuance, and trading layer for the existing one, while crypto itself settles into a more mature “capital markets +” phase focused on real assets, institutional flows, and sustainable business models. We discuss: - The current state of crypto as capital markets infrastructure and the decline of pure speculative narratives - Why finance, payments, and tokenization are winning while most other crypto applications struggle - The architectural parallel between traditional capital markets and on-chain systems - Tokenized assets = Securities - Stablecoins = Cash / settlement - DEXs & on-chain venues = Exchanges - Prediction markets = Information markets - Why institutions are moving on-chain and what they actually want (control, privacy, segregated markets) - Token vs equity: where value accrues in a non-Clarity Act world - The mass extinction event in crypto VC and why Dragonfly is doubling down on financial infrastructure - Stablecoins, RWAs, and the real path to “tokenization of everything” - Prediction markets (and why Polymarket matters) as the next interface layer - Sustainable business models and where value will ultimately capture Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction & State of Crypto as Capital Markets 2:00 – Why Speculative Narratives Are Fading 7:00 – Finance, Payments & Tokenization as the Only Scaling Verticals 12:00 – Institutional Adoption & What Wall Street Actually Wants 18:00 – Token vs Equity Value Accrual 25:00 – Blockchain as the New Settlement & Issuance Layer 35:00 – Prediction Markets, Information & the Next Interface 45:00 – Crypto VC Consolidation & Dragonfly’s Thesis 55:00 – Real-World Assets, Stablecoins & On-Chain Markets 1:05:00 – Closing Thoughts: Where Value Accrues Next Enjoy!
