In March, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) announced a collaboration with Circle to explore using its USDC stablecoin and its recently acquired Hashnote USYC tokenized money market fund. One of the aims is to use them as collateral in its derivatives exchanges and clearing houses. ICE owns the New York Stock Exchange and operates several clearing houses around the world. Chris Edmonds, the group’s President of Fixed Income and Data Services, recently discussed stablecoins and tokenized collateral with Smartbrief. Given the company’s interest in using stablecoins as collateral, he said that ICE had done some advocacy to influence the GENIUS and STABLE Act, so there wasn’t “a delta…

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) posted a memo yesterday detailing a meeting between its Crypto Task Force and JP Morgan. While the task force primarily handles cryptocurrency issues, it also oversees tokenization matters that increasingly affect traditional finance (TradFi) companies. JP Morgan’s meeting agenda revealed three key discussion points: an overview of its existing digital finance services, including repo solutions and debt platforms, an analysis of how capital markets activity might migrate to public blockchains, and plans for future regulatory engagement. The discussion likely centered heavily on tokenized collateral, an area where multiple regulators are actively involved. The CFTC is currently running tokenized collateral pilots…

Coinbase is seeking a green light from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to offer “tokenized equities” to its customers, the crypto exchange’s chief legal officer told Reuters. If granted, the move would allow Coinbase to effectively offer stock trading via blockchain technology, placing it in direct competition with retail brokerages such as Robinhood and Charles Schwab, and could open a new business segment for Coinbase. The concept is a “huge priority,” said Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer. Tokenizing equities is a process in which shares of a company are converted into a digital token, similar to how cryptocurrencies are…

Polymath is reaping the rewards from years of careful preparation and forethought. Now, as asset tokenization prepares for takeoff, Vince Kadar’s company is front and center. Its origins date back to 2017-18, when Polymath became the first organization building an app on Ethereum. That app would allow parties to tokenize assets. Kadar said early efforts included developing a working group of 25 individuals and groups to develop proper standards. Out of those efforts came Token Studio, which enables individuals to reserve, configure, and manage their security tokens and the ERC-1400 security standard. Improving tokenization after its rough start Looking back, Kadar still bristles at…
The tokenization of commodities allows high-value assets to be divided into smaller units, making them accessible to retail investors in open digital markets. Blockchain removes intermediaries in commodity trading, speeds up settlement processes, and reduces the risks of price manipulation and operational fraud. The lack of clear regulatory frameworks and unified technical standards currently limits the interoperability and institutional adoption of commodity tokens. The advance of blockchain technology has not been limited to cryptocurrencies; it’s starting to reshape traditional sectors with rigid structures and historically opaque markets. One of the most significant changes along this path is tokenization, particularly of…
