BlackRock Mulls Tokenized ETF Initiative, Subject to Regulatory Green Light
BlackRock is in the early stages of exploring the creation of tokenized versions of its exchange-traded funds, a significant step that remains subject to “regulatory considerations.”
According to sources familiar with the matter, the project could include funds holding real-world assets such as stocks.
The report underscores a careful, measured approach by the asset management behemoth. While BlackRock has already cemented its role in digital assets through its wildly successful iShares Bitcoin and Ethereum Trusts, venturing into the tokenization of traditional securities represents a more complex regulatory frontier.
This cautious exploration mirrors a wider Wall Street interest in blockchain efficiency, but highlights that widespread adoption remains tightly linked to regulator approval.
