PANews reported on September 12th that BlackRock is exploring how to tokenize traditional assets, such as ETFs , using blockchain technology. This approach aims to enable 24/7 trading, enhance international accessibility, and provide new types of collateral for crypto networks. BlackRock has previously launched BUIDL , a tokenized money market fund with over $ 2 billion in assets, and is testing related products on platforms such as JPMorgan . This initiative still requires regulatory approval. The current market size for tokenized assets is approximately $ 28 billion, far smaller than the total size of the US ETF industry.
