RWA & Tokenization ·
Securitize, the tokenization partner on BlackRock's BUIDL fund, has signed major institutional clients including Apollo, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck, according to reporting on X. The signings reflect growing Wall Street appetite for blockchain-native assets and real-world asset tokenization.
The clients span multiple asset classes and financial sectors—from private markets and custody to alternative investments—suggesting institutional adoption of tokenized assets is broadening beyond early movers. Securitize's role as BlackRock's stated tokenization partner on BUIDL, a blockchain fund that settled on Ethereum, positions it as a central infrastructure provider in the emerging on-chain finance ecosystem.
What remains unclear is the scope of each client's deployment—whether these are pilots, full integrations, or varying commitments across custody, issuance, or trading functions. Details on the scale of assets being tokenized or timelines for expanded usage are not yet public.
