Securitize CEO on asset tokenization: 'The simple answer is that a blockchain is a better ledger'

According to RWA.xyz, by late 2025, the total value of tokenized real-world assets surpassed $35 billion, up from $3 billion two years prior. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries represented over $8 billion of this total, with BlackRock’s BUIDL fund alone exceeding $1 billion, as reported by CoinDesk. While private credit, funds, and real estate remain smaller segments within this market, they continue to grow alongside fixed-income products.

Industry pilots have shown tangible efficiency improvements. The Global Financial Markets Association notes that J.P. Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network enabled repo transactions to settle within minutes rather than overnight, thereby reducing operational errors and settlement risk. In contrast, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) traditional T+1 model still requires manual reconciliation, highlighting blockchain's advantages in speed and automation.

Domingo is also recognized for his previous roles at Telefónica R&D and Telefónica Digital and holds a PhD in computer science. His contributions have been pivotal in advancing institutional tokenization standards by bridging traditional financial regulation with blockchain innovation.

Securitize Inc., established in 2017 and based in Miami, operates a regulated digital-asset infrastructure for tokenized securities. PR Newswire reports that its subsidiaries are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a broker-dealer, transfer agent, and Alternative Trading System (ATS). The company collaborates with firms such as BlackRock, KKR & Co., and Hamilton Lane while managing over $4 billion in tokenized assets with the aim of integrating traditional investments onto the blockchain.
