Safe to say more eyes are on tokenization. Just lately, Morgan Stanley became one of the first banks to use DTCC’s new Tokenization Service to bring US equities and Treasuries onto blockchain. And it’s likely to be one of many institutions exploring this space. DTCC already has 20 major financial institutions signed up to access its service. The wider market reflects this growing interest too. Distributed tokenized asset value has surpassed $38B, with institutions representing a good portion of the market. Atp, we can’t afford to show tradfi that as an infrastructure, we are not ready for large-scale adoption. Institutions will need reliable infrastructure to issue, manage and service tokenized assets throughout their lifecycle. This includes investor onboarding, compliance, transfer controls, reporting, redemptions and access to secondary markets. That’s a big part of what we’re working towards at Byzanlink. The goal is to expand access to institutional assets through standardisation and programmability.

Quite a lot got actioned at Byzanlink last month. BTOS went live on @base, we launched tokenised stocks on RWA Markets, and introduced the Pulse Program. It’s also been great connecting with teams across the Base ecosystem and seeing more builders tackle the infrastructure challenges around RWAs. Good progress, and plenty more to build. 🫡

Here are some things I wished we didn't have to worry about in web3. > battling crippling hacks & exploits every few months like it’s nothing > everyone treating crypto like a casino > building something useful only to realize the market is more interested in the next ticker (subtle jab at memes) > trying to measure genuine progress when most visible metrics still reward attention and speculation far more than durable cash flows or institutional participation These setbacks have quite frankly dwarfed our relevance outside crypto.

Rwa perps open interest is at $14b, up 47x since Jan. And public equities make up more than half of that OI. I think bringing TradFi onchain and making it accessible to trade 24/7 has to be one of the greatest things to happen to stocks! It’s undoubtedly RWA perps szn.

One thing we’ve learned while building BTOS is that every institution has its own way of managing financial products. The infrastructure needs to respect that, especially when it comes to compliance and operational control. That’s a big part of what we’re working towards at Byzanlink.
What Problem Is Byzanlink Solving for Institutions? Our Founder & CEO @AnbuKannappan explains how BTOS helps institutions bring financial products onchain while retaining control over operations and compliance. A look at Byzanlink's approach to institutional tokenisation, from the @hedera General Community Call.

Ethereum's Glamsterdam delay on Hoodi reinforces the need for rigorous protocol validation With much of the onchain ecosystem built on Ethereum, backward compatibility is critical Scaling execution without disrupting existing contracts should be the core engineering priority

Heading to Singapore for @token2049 next week. I’ll be speaking at @GammaSummit on Oct 6, talking about institutional tokenisation and where the market is heading. If you’re an asset manager, fund administrator or financial institution working on tokenised products, I'd love to connect and hear what you’re building.

Tokenisation is moving beyond experiments into real financial infrastructure. The interesting challenge now is the infrastructure behind it — helping issuers launch and manage onchain products without rebuilding the stack every time. That’s what we’re building with BTOS.
Robinhood Chain is quickly becoming a real home for onchain financial products. The activity around tokenised assets is growing, bringing more financial products and real-world value onto the network. Byzanlink Tokenisation OS (BTOS) gives issuers the infrastructure to bring these products onchain with built-in lifecycle management, issuer-controlled access, and interoperability. As the ecosystem expands, issuers need a way to launch and operate financial products onchain without having to build the underlying infrastructure from scratch for each product. BTOS brings that infrastructure to @RobinhoodCrypto Chain, giving issuers a standardized foundation to build on as the network grows. Learn more: byzanlink.substack.com/p/bto…
