Bitcoin, S&P 500 ETFs On Blockchain? BlackRock Reportedly Eyes Tokenization Of Its Big-Ticket Funds - BlackRock (NYSE:BLK)

BlackRock aims to digitize and fractionalize ETFs to enable continuous trading and broaden global investor access through blockchain technology, leveraging its $2 billion tokenized money market fund experience.

  • Bloomberg says BlackRock Inc., New York-based asset manager, is exploring tokenizing exchange-traded funds, with plans still in early discussions and needing regulator approval.
  • After strong investor demand for its Bitcoin product, BlackRock's BUIDL has grown to about $2.2 billion since its debut last year, building momentum for tokenization efforts.
  • With BUIDL operating across multiple chains, the $2.2 billion fund, launched on Ethereum, is now accessible on seven blockchains, enabling near-instant settlement.
  • If adopted, tokenized ETFs could enable extended trading hours benefiting international investors and boost liquidity through DeFi platforms, though reconciling blockchain with clearinghouses poses infrastructure challenges.
  • Exchanges and platforms are already preparing, with Nasdaq Inc. filing to allow tokenized stocks, while Coinbase, Kraken and Robinhood are expanding offerings, potentially reshaping international capital flows.
