Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, apparently investigates ways of token of current funds (ETF) on blockchain, after a robust ETF Bitcoin result.
Citing sources who know discussions, Bloomberg Reported On Thursday, that the company is considering the tokenization of funds at risk of assets in the real world (RWA). However, any such movement would have to move regulatory obstacles.
ETFs have become one of the most popular investment vehicles – so widespread that they are currently exceeding the number of public actions, in accordance with Morningstar.
ETF tokenizing can potentially allow them to trade outside standard market hours and be used as security in decentralized financial applications (DEFI).
Blackrock’s interest in toketenization is not novel. He already manages the world’s largest tokenized money market fund, Blackrock USD Institutional Digital Lowid Fund (Buidl), which has $ 2.2 billion in Ethereum, Avalanche, Aptos, Polygon and other blockchain.
Jpmorgan has called Tokenization “significant jump” for the industry of a money market fund worth $ 7 trillion, pointing to the initiative launched by Goldman Sachs and Bank of Modern York Mellon, to which Blackrock will join during the premiere.
As part of the initiative, BNY clients will gain access to money market funds with the property of shares registered directly in the private blockchain Goldman Sachs.

The enhance in funds on the tokenized money market is not in a vacuum, but next to the growing pressure on time-honored finances-especially from the rapid reception of Stablecoin and shift of liquidity to markets based on blockchain.
Cointelegraph informed in May that the American banking lobby was particularly cautious about the stableleins among the fears that they could disturb time-honored banking models. In particular, such tokens have been excluded from the US Genius Act, the first comprehensive regulations regarding Stablecouins.
In June, JPMorgan Teresa Ho said that funds on the money market probably attract capital to the industry, while increasing their appeal as security. She noticed that she could lend a hand keep “cash as assets” in the face of the growing impact of Stablecouins.
“Instead of publishing cash or publish Treasurys, you can publish money market shares and not lose interest along the way. He says about the versatility of cash funds,” said Ho Bloomberg.
Despite this, analysts say that Stablecoin growth within the genius will ultimately benefit the tokenization, providing more pronounced principles and stronger on the frame of blockchain markets.
