Not what you'd expect...

BlackRock's tokenized treasury fund BUIDL quietly surpassed $1.2 billion in assets under management in Q2 2025, signaling that institutional tokenization is no longer experimental.

→ Settlement times collapsed from T+2 to near instant, reducing counterparty risk for prime brokers and asset managers.

→ BlackRock's entry validated legal frameworks under the 1940 Act, prompting Franklin Templeton and Apollo to launch their own tokenized money market funds.

→ Total on-chain real-world assets crossed $16 billion, with private credit tokenization growing 40% quarter-over-quarter, according to RWA.xyz data.

→ Fragmentation between Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana still limits liquidity aggregation, but JPMorgan's Onyx network is testing cross-chain atomic swaps for collateral.

The infrastructure shift from paper records to programmable assets is irreversible. The next 18 months will determine which chains and standards become the settlement layer for legacy finance migrating on-chain.
