Tokenization poised to unlock tens of billions in collateral as 24/7 trading gains momentum

Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman stated at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore that tokenizing assets like Treasurys and equities could free up tens of billions of dollars in trapped collateral by making capital flow more fluid. This shift is driven by growing institutional interest following the U.S. Genius Act and retail demand for 24/7 trading. Implementing continuous trading requires real-time risk management, where AI is expected to play a critical role. Meanwhile, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi noted that international companies are increasingly seeking access to U.S. capital markets through tokenization, although Friedman cautioned that not all assets possess the liquidity required for round-the-clock trading.

Global IPO Pipeline Freezes as Valuation Skepticism and AI Jitters Halt Listings

The global initial public offering (IPO) market has stalled in late 2026 as investors reject high valuations and worry about AI sector sustainability. Major listings by EG Group, Oura, and SB Energy have been paused, while Anthropic and OpenAI delay their debuts. Although the S&P 500 remains near record highs, the IPO window has narrowed significantly, with many deals slipping into 2027 due to poor post-listing performance and regulatory hurdles.

Goldman Sachs Reclaims Wall Street Edge as Deals Boom in 2026

Goldman Sachs posted strong fourth-quarter earnings as dealmaking surged and its stock rose about 60% over the past year, signaling a return to Wall Street dominance. CEO David Solomon predicts 2026 could exceed 2021’s peaks in M&A and capital markets, backed by a big AI-driven overhaul (One Goldman Sachs 3.0) and a sizable tech budget. The firm sharpened its focus on its two core units—global banking/markets and asset & wealth management—while continuing to monetize Marcus as a deposits platform despite its consumer-banking missteps, growing assets under supervision to roughly $3.6 trillion and pursuing зов acquisitions and partnerships (Innovator ETF platform, Industry Ventures, and a T. Rowe Price deal) even as it ceded the Apple Card partnership to JPMorgan. Competition remains fierce from Citi and Wells Fargo as Goldman navigates the path forward with AI as an accelerator.

Trump's Crypto Influence: Bitcoin's Surge and Investment Strategies

Donald Trump's re-election and pro-Bitcoin stance could position the US as a global crypto leader, sparking a race in tokenized capital markets between developed and emerging economies. The success of Bitcoin ETFs has already increased institutional interest, and a supportive US administration may further drive Bitcoin adoption globally. This shift could challenge smaller economies like El Salvador, which have leveraged Bitcoin for economic growth. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions are exploring tokenization, but often limit participation to institutional investors, contrasting with more inclusive models emerging in smaller markets.
