He said the next 12 to 18 months could define tokenized finance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTokenization is getting closer to a major turning point,\u201d Teng wrote. Regulatory frameworks are moving toward operational rules for tokenized finance in 2026. In the U.S., the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/what-comes-next-for-the-clarity-act-grayscale-flags-key-hurdles\/\">CLARITY Act<\/a> cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 as a central digital-asset market structure proposal. The bill aims to clarify which digital assets fall under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversight and which fall under Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight. Tokenized stocks, bonds, and funds remain securities when they represent securities on <span>blockchain<\/span> infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Institutional access is expanding as banks, custodians, ETF issuers, and exchanges connect tokenization with capital-market systems. Blackrock\u2019s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund, Franklin Templeton\u2019s blockchain-based fund administration, and JPMorgan\u2019s Kinexys platform show that shift. Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are building tokenized money-market infrastructure. Securitize\u2019s partnership with Computershare links tokenized securities with traditional transfer-agent systems. Spot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> and ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also broadened institutional access through brokerage, retirement, and portfolio platforms.<\/p>\n<h2>Real-World Adoption Moves Into Market Infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p>Real-world adoption in 2026 is centered on tokenized money, collateral, Treasurys, and settlement infrastructure. Bank of Montreal introduced plans on March 24 for tokenized cash capabilities using CME Group\u2019s permissioned network on Google Cloud Universal Ledger. JPMorgan is expanding tokenized collateral transfers and tokenized repo operations. Citi is developing tokenized deposit systems. HSBC has expanded tokenized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a> and tokenized deposit pilots in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/dtcc-tokenization-draws-50-firms-for-live-securities-testing\/\">DTCC<\/a> and Nasdaq pathways connect tokenization with core financial-market infrastructure. Nasdaq recently <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/sec-greenlights-nasdaq-rule-change-clearing-path-for-tokenized-securities-trading-in-us-markets\/\">received<\/a> SEC approval for a rule change permitting securities to trade in tokenized form under defined conditions. DTCC is <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/dtcc-tokenization-draws-50-firms-for-live-securities-testing\/\">developing<\/a> DTC Tokenization Service infrastructure for real-world assets in a controlled and regulated environment. Intercontinental Exchange is working with Citigroup, BNY Mellon, and other institutions on tokenized deposit systems tied to clearinghouses.<\/p>\n<p>Teng stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe next 12\u201318 months could be defining.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The four points in Teng\u2019s post outline a tokenization market moving through regulation, institutional infrastructure, real-world use, and settlement integration. The near-term model points toward permissioned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blockchain<\/a> settlement connected to regulated banking, exchange, custody, clearing, and transfer systems. That structure places tokenized assets beside existing securities infrastructure across global capital markets. It also frames tokenization as operational market infrastructure, with banks and exchanges using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blockchain<\/a> rails for collateral mobility, settlement speed, transparency, and compliance controls.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/binance-ceo-says-tokenization-nears-turning-point-as-12-18-months-look-defining\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Binance\u2019s Richard Teng said tokenization is moving toward a major market inflection point.
