Tokenization, the term for minting real-world assets such as stocks and bonds as digital tokens that can be traded on decentralized networks, is one of the principal use cases of blockchain technology attracting the attention and investment of the TradFi world.
A recent report by Boston Consulting Group and crypto payments company Ripple said the tokenization market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.
R3's aim is to supercharge the scale and liquidity of the tokenized asset ecosystem by making the assets available on a public blockchain like Solana.
The total value of assets held on Solana may be dwarfed by Ethereum, but it processes more transactions and has more active addresses.
"As the world's most used public blockchain, Solana ... [is] the ideal foundation for the next generation of regulated digital finance," R3 said in an announcement on Thursday.
