💥BREAKING: BLACKROCK TO TOKENISE FUNDS WITH REAL WORLD ASSETS AND STOCKS AND PUT THEM ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 BlackRock to tokenize ETFs and put them on the blockchain. 👀

BlackRock is exploring tokenized ETFs backed by real-world assets and equities. Beyond traditional markets, this move signals a shift toward blockchain-native infrastructure: 24/7 trading, faster settlement, and programmable ownership. The tokenization era is no longer theoretical—it’s accelerating.

Crypto sale alert! 🤑 The Fear & Greed Index recently dropped to 56, its lowest since BTC dipped below $112K early Aug. Are you buying the dip? What are you buying?

@RidsdaleJoe Whos profits are you taking? Or maybe stealing...

Taking profit on these S&Ps now. Still net long.

Banks were closed this weekend. Vaulta was open.

Tokenization is about modernizing financial infrastructure - not just crypto. It transforms assets into digital tokens, enabling efficiency, transparency, & new revenue streams. At Spirit Blockchain Capital, we build and invest in this future with real-world blockchain solutions.

Imagine a world where you can: Collateralize your Bitcoin. Stake Bitcoin on-chain and take out loans on future yield. You can do the above with regular assets like stock, but with Bitcoin, it’s a different story. Institutions seek these products, but the solutions aren’t there yet. That’s why the @exSatNetwork and @Vaulta_ teams are building to enable these solutions for Bitcoin holders.

The tokenized treasuries market cap climbed by 544.8% since 2024. We believe our approach tokenization is designed to tap into the liquidity of traditional markets which will catalyze the next wave of mass adoption. Know more: spiritblockchain.com

@JoshCrumb @JoshCrumb, I appreciate your input and worked in my past with @JoeRaia5. However, it is important to clarify whether the Canadian regulations consider them as public issuers or if they have a well-defined process for tokenizing commodities and RWAs. Let's wait and see. CSE:SPIR

Looks like there’s a new Canadian startup looking to go public in the “tokenized commodities and real world assets (RWAs) space”. I first blazed this hard trail over 10 years ago now (May, 2015) when we launched & listed BitGold (perhaps a bit too far ahead of its time!). I believe we were the first ever blockchain public company, focused exactly on this model; first to launch a distributed digital gold ledger in production with major banks and institutional partners, first to hold meaningful Bitcoin on our balance sheet (~10,000 BTC at peak) and provide gold-digital asset liquidity, first patents issued in the space, etc. We likely spent more money on legals and training and educating the whole Securities & Banking Industrial Complex at our expense than actual product engineering (a damned shame, but we wanted to do it right without the many technical and legal security holes and shortcuts that the pump and dump artists often take in the token space). ..I also see that Sean Roosen and Frank Giustra are advisers in this particular new attempt, two people who I’ve discussed all of this at length with over the years, so I’m guessing it can have some traction.

Ever wondered why apartments get built one way in US and another in China? This article has so many details explained - worksinprogress.co/issue/chinese-…

@TradeandMoney @gregworrel @Mattathias17 @jbsteinberg Hi do you know this individual: linkedin.com/in/joe-ridsdal…

To a first order approximation, stuff production is going to be correlated with geopolitical power. If China were just making textiles and low-value added stuff, I'll confess it wouldn't matter one bit. I'd like like to see a proper study of how reliant the US & allies already are.

1. The world has become richer as a result of globalisation. 2. The biggest benefits have been for the poor. 3. Blue-collar workers have not been left behind. 4. Free trade does not destroy jobs. 5. There is nothing special about manufacturing. 6. Imports are good.
