2025 marks a decade since Ethereum and Corda set the foundation for public and private programmable blockchains. Now, these two worlds are beginning to converge—unlocking a significant opportunity. In his latest blog, Richard G Brown, Founding CTO at R3, explores: > Why private blockchains emerged and how they’ve enabled $10bn+ in tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) on R3's Corda > How recent regulatory shifts and technological advances are breaking down barriers between TradFi and DeFi > The simple yet powerful step that could finally connect private, permissioned networks to public blockchains The next stage of digital asset adoption is here—and it’s about more than just new technology. It’s about connecting the ecosystems we’ve built over the past decade to unlock greater liquidity, efficiency, and market access. 💡 Read the full blog to see how R3 is helping drive this convergence: https://lnkd.in/exH-JDDD #Tokenization #R3 #TradFi #DeFi #Blockchain #Corda #DLT

The market for real-world tokenized assets is projected to reach $30-50bn by the end of this year.   Joining FINTECH.TV from the floor of the NY Stock Exchange, R3 Co-Founder Todd McDonald discussed how ecosystem maturization combined with increased regulatory clarity are driving institutional and DeFi demand.    "While the on-chain economy for defi is incredibly robust, it is still quite early. If you think about the tens of billons of dollars that have been tokenized on-chain that compares to hundreds of trillions of dollars of real-world assets within the traditional economy," noted Todd.   "There is a desire to bring more RWA on-chain. In particular, when you look at the volatility across crypto, they're looking for differentiated assets, differentiated yields that RWAs can represent - but they have to be brought on-chain so that they can fit into the way that DeFi works, which is 24/7 and very interconnected."   Listen to Todd's full interview below to learn how R3 is paving the way for tokenized RWA adoption across both traditional and DeFi markets.   https://lnkd.in/eGpvn34U   #RWAs #DeFi #TradFi #R3 #Tokenization

With the demand for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) projected to exceed $30 trillion by 2034, commercial banks must adapt to stay competitive.

Banks that embrace this innovation today will be best positioned to lead the next era of financial services.
