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.

Analysts Identify Coinbase, Robinhood, and Circle as Key Beneficiaries of SEC Tokenized Stock Pilot

Goldman Sachs and Citizens analysts argue that the SEC’s new five-year exemption for tokenized U.S. stocks creates distinct opportunities for Coinbase, Robinhood, and Circle. While traditional exchanges face limited competition due to trading caps, these firms stand to gain through infrastructure, custody, and stablecoin settlement roles, provided they adapt their products to meet new regulatory requirements.

SEC's 'Innovation Exemption' Unlocks Tokenized Stock Trading, Sparking Crypto Rally

The SEC has granted a five-year temporary exemption allowing specific platforms to trade tokenized U.S. stocks, a move that triggered a sharp rally in crypto-linked equities. The order, part of the agency's 'Project Crypto,' requires token holders to retain traditional shareholder rights and allows companies to opt out. While the exemption aims to modernize capital markets, it follows the failure of the broader CLARITY Act in the Senate, leaving long-term regulatory clarity uncertain.

Datavault AI Wins USPTO Allowance for End-to-End Asset Tokenization Platform

Datavault AI announced the USPTO issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent covering the full lifecycle of tokenized assets (minting, authentication, and utilization), bolstering a portfolio of over 100 patents. The patent family supports the company’s IDE platform for converting real‑world assets like commodities and real estate into compliant digital instruments, with tangible traction including a $750 million tokenization contract pipeline and $77 million in fees in Q1 2026. The expansion aligns with regulatory developments around digital assets (e.g., CLARITY Act) and positions Datavault AI’s tokenization infrastructure as a competitive differentiator for enterprise adoption.

Big US Banks Plan Tokenized Deposits as Counter to Crypto Startups

The four largest US banks—JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America—are collaborating through Clearing House to launch a tokenized deposit network that would issue digital versions of customer deposits, likely within traditional banking regulation and possibly on private/permissioned networks. The move is framed as a response to the rise of dollar‑backed stablecoins and ongoing crypto regulation discussions (Clarity Act), with JPMorgan already operating private platforms (Kinexys) and JPM Coin on Coinbase’s Base. The exact technical structure remains to be seen and will depend on final regulatory language.

XRP’s Big Bet: A Global Payments Backbone, Not Bitcoin’s Replacement

Bitcoin dominates as a store of value with a multi-trillion market cap, while XRP trades around $1.36 and would need massive adoption and capital inflows to catch up. Its realistic path to significance is as a global payments and settlement network—driving cross-border transfers and tokenization—rather than directly dethroning Bitcoin as the market's top asset.
