Tokenization is already reshaping capital markets
Nasdaq, NYSE, BlackRock and J.P. Morgan are building tokenized assets into the core of global finance and Blockmaze provides the regulated infrastructure that lets brokers, exchanges and asset owners take part.
Capital Markets are changing shape. Stocks, bonds, private credit, private equity, venture, real estate, funds and commodities are all being tokenized, and the institutions doing it sit at the very centre of global finance. Tokenization is no longer confined to crypto; it is now part of mainstream capital markets.
This is where Blockmaze comes in. A regulated tokenization infrastructure provider backed by Finvasia Group, Blockmaze gives brokers, exchanges, wealth managers and asset owners the licensed rails to tokenize real assets, without building the compliance and infrastructure from scratch. As the biggest institutions in global finance adopt tokenization, Blockmaze gives the rest of the market the infrastructure to follow.
The numbers validate the move
The tokenized real-world-asset market, excluding stablecoins, crossed roughly $43 billion by mid-2026, up about 37% in six months, even as the wider crypto market cooled. Tokenized funds account for around 80% of it, commodities for 16.6% and equities for 3.8%, so the money being tokenized looks a lot like the money that was already there. Boston Consulting Group projects the market reaching around $16.1 trillion by 2030, and industry surveys in 2026 found more than half of financial institutions already discussing or piloting tokenization.
Wall Street is building for it
In March 2026, Nasdaq secured SEC approval to trade tokenized versions of Russell 1000 stocks and ETFs, and partnered with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, to distribute tokenized Nasdaq-listed equities worldwide from early 2027. The same month, NYSE named Securitize the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint tokenized stocks and ETFs on its upcoming Digital Trading Platform. The institutions that write the rules for listing are now writing them for tokenized listing.
BlackRock's tokenized Treasury fund, BUIDL, reached an all-time high of roughly $2.93 billion in assets in July 2026, while J.P. Morgan's Kinexys platform doubled its cumulative transaction volumes to $4 trillion between August 2025 and June 2026, including tokenized deposits and settlement. When a global bank moves core settlement into tokenized form, the pilot phase is over.
Crypto-native venues are moving just as fast. Binance's bStocks passed $30 billion in cumulative trading volume in under 90 days, and tokenized-equities market capitalisation grew roughly 400% in the twelve months to June 2026, according to a16z crypto and RWA.xyz data.
How tokenization grows your business
For brokers, wealth managers, exchanges and payment service providers, tokenization is first and foremost a growth opportunity. Globally sourced assets open new fee, spread, distribution and service revenue. Adding tokenized stocks, gold, real estate and other instruments keeps more client activity under one roof instead of losing that flow to competitors. Fractional access brings high-value assets to smaller-ticket investors, opening new customer segments and new regions. Business owners, brands, real estate and fund sponsors can unlock capital and liquidity from assets that are currently illiquid or narrowly held.
Timing matters. Crypto-native platforms are already listing tokenized stocks, while brokers and payment providers hold the trust, KYC and distribution needed to compete. The market is still early, and the firms that move now get to shape it before it becomes crowded.
The real barrier is licensing
Launching a token is easy, and most platforms can do it in an afternoon. The hard part is making sure the ownership behind it is real: that the token represents a genuine asset, that ownership is legally recognised, and that the issuer is licensed to issue, hold and distribute it across jurisdictions. That is what turns a token into a tradable security, and it is where most firms stall.
Why institutions build on Blockmaze
Blockmaze was built to remove that barrier. Backed by Finvasia Group and its 15+ years across fintech, payments, banking and brokerage, Blockmaze is a full-stack, regulated tokenization infrastructure provider holding 40+ regulatory authorisations, including 11 tier-1 licences, across 10+ jurisdictions, spanning the EU, the UAE, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Mauritius, the BVI and Comoros, with Bahrain in process. That breadth earned it the Guinness World Records title for the Most Financial Regulatory Licences at a Blockchain Ecosystem Launch, and it makes the company the go-to partner for firms that want to tokenize without spending years assembling licences themselves.
The infrastructure covers both sides of the market: compliant issuance on the primary side, and distribution and liquidity on the secondary side, supported by payment and acquiring rails, custody and safekeeping, and market-making. Blockmaze has already tokenized more than 70,000 stocks and ETFs for its sister platform dealing.com, which holds the Guinness World Records title for the Most Tokenized Stocks Available for Trading on a Single Platform. Institutions can also plug directly into Blockmaze to launch a white-label tokenization offering under their own brand, across stocks, ETFs, bonds, funds, commodities, private equity, real estate and other alternative assets.
"The institutions at the centre of global finance are already tokenizing capital markets. The question for every broker, exchange and wealth manager now is how to take part without spending years assembling licences, custody and distribution themselves. That is precisely the layer Blockmaze provides, so our partners can focus on growing their business while the regulated rails sit underneath," said Tajinder Virk, Co-Founder and CEO of Blockmaze and Finvasia Group.
