Tokenization is nearing a major turning point as regulation, institutional access, real-world adoption, and market infrastructure converge. Clearer rules are expected to help institutions connect blockchain systems with regulated capital markets. Settlement, custody, and transfer systems are viewed as key determinants of the next phase of tokenized finance. Regulatory frameworks are moving toward operational rules in 2026, including U.S. progress on the CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify whether digital assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight.

Tokenized stocks, bonds, and funds remain securities when they represent securities on blockchain infrastructure."
"Institutional access is expanding as banks, custodians, ETF issuers, and exchanges connect tokenization with capital-market systems. Blackrock's BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund, Franklin Templeton's blockchain-based fund administration, and JPMorgan's Kinexys platform show that shift. Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are building tokenized money-market infrastructure. Securitize's partnership with Computershare"
