Ethereum News Today: Securitize Hits $72.9M in Tokenized Assets on Polygon Blockchain

Securitize has minted over $72.9 million in tokenized assets on the Polygon blockchain, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing shift of global finance toward onchain infrastructure [1]. This development highlights the growing adoption of blockchain technology by major financial institutions seeking to tokenize real-world assets. The total value of these tokenized assets, confirmed by RWA.xyz, represents a substantial deployment of institutional-grade financial products on public blockchains [1].

According to Polygon, the initiative has been driven by leading names in the finance sector, including BlackRock’s BUIDL, Apollo’s ACRED, and Hamilton Lane’s SCOPE. These entities have leveraged Securitize’s platform to bring regulated financial instruments onto the blockchain. The move underscores the increasing credibility of public blockchains as infrastructure for global finance and signals a broader shift toward decentralized asset management [1].

Polygon has positioned itself as a key player in this transition, describing its network as a “global financial layer” capable of supporting institutional-grade tokenized assets. By hosting real-world assets on its blockchain, Polygon is expanding the use cases for its network and reinforcing its role as a foundational infrastructure provider in the evolving onchain economy [1].

Ethereum also emphasized the transformative potential of tokenization in a guest thread by Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize. The thread outlined how financial markets are increasingly integrating blockchain technology to enhance transparency, accessibility, and operational efficiency. Ethereum positioned itself as a core platform for anchoring real-world assets, enabling institutions to expand their reach through open networks [1].

The developments on both Polygon and Ethereum indicate that 2025 may become a pivotal year for tokenization in finance. As traditional financial instruments are digitized and moved onto public blockchains, the infrastructure required to support this transition is gaining momentum. The collaboration between blockchain platforms and institutional players suggests that tokenization is not merely a speculative trend but a structural shift in how financial assets are issued, traded, and managed.
