Global asset management giant BlackRock is reportedly exploring the creation of tradable ETF tokens on public blockchains, a potential move that could further bridge traditional finance and decentralized technology.
According to industry insiders, the initiative would tokenize shares of BlackRock’s exchange-traded funds, allowing them to be traded on blockchain networks. Such a shift could enable faster settlements, lower fees, and expanded global access for retail and institutional investors alike.
Market analysts suggest that blockchain-based ETF tokens could transform the ETF industry, making products more liquid and accessible while improving transparency through on-chain recordkeeping.
This exploration comes amid a wave of institutional adoption of blockchain technology, as Wall Street players increasingly look for ways to integrate crypto infrastructure into mainstream finance. While BlackRock has not officially confirmed a launch date or specific blockchain partners, the discussions indicate growing confidence in tokenization as a cornerstone of the next financial era.
