π¦ Blackrock Eyes tokenized ETFs
The largest asset manager in Wall Street is about to take tokenization mainstream.
π What happened
Bloomberg Reported that BlackRock is preparing for Tokenize ETFs and other Real-WORLD Asset (RWA) funds, which extends further than its existing on-chain Cash Management Product, Buidl.
The move is awaiting the regulations, but it is an important step in the direction of bringing traditional investment vehicles on blockchain rails.
Blackrock launched Puidl with Securitize in 2024, so that institutions were linked to exposure to American treasury.
Now the company wants to expand that model to ETFs and additional fund structures, which would mark the first time that a traditional manager has mainstream funds on a scale.
Potential types of funds include:
- Equity ETFs
- Bond / Fixed Funds
- Money market funds
- Real estate funds
- Private credit funds
These sectors represent trillions in assets ($ 12.5 T in Q2 2025 to be precise). And a huge part of them (maybe all in the end) come to the chain.
π£οΈ What they say
“Just like anyone who has been trying in digital assets in the past decade in the past decades. – James Seyffart, Bloomberg
“Blackrock is to token their ETFs and you are Bearish? Everything will be chosen.” -Graeme Moore, Head of Strategy at Project 11
π§ Why it matters
So why do we care about tokenization of assets from the real world?
Tokenized ETFs would:
- Timing: Enable 24/7 settlement and faster transfers
- Composability: Plug assets of these funds in other areas of Defi
- Signal: Crypto becomes “too big to fail” as soon as giants like BlackRock move their entire books on the chain
And bringing this assets onchain is growing the total crypto market capitalization.
No, it does not mean that new liquidity comes to every alt l1 or meme coin.
But it is not a piece to think that it will flow to the best assets, and it will certainly send it stablecoinx Significantly up. Defi Assets would probably also win.
And there is a real chance that most of these funds will be encouraged Ethereum (where is puidl).
If that is the case, ETH is probably the biggest winner here.
So this is a big one for rooting for the supervisors to approve.
And as soon as BlackRock gets and performs the approval, everyone else will follow.
