Tokenized Treasuries Surge To $4.2B As Investors Seek Stability

(MENAFN- eTrendy Stock) The market for tokenized U.S. Treasuries has reached a new peak, surpassing $4.2 billion in total value as investors increasingly turn to these blockchain-based assets during ongoing crypto market turbulence. The rise in tokenized Treasuries comes at a time when institutional investors are exploring blockchain-based financial instruments for greater liquidity and efficiency.

Asset managers have launched various Treasury-backed tokens that allow investors to access traditional fixed-income securities on decentralized platforms. These instruments provide exposure to U.S. Treasuries while leveraging blockchain's transparency and accessibility.

Unlike stablecoins, which primarily serve as a medium of exchange, tokenized Treasuries offer a store of value with yield potential. Analysts suggest this shift mirrors traditional finance, where investors flee equities for bonds during economic downturns. Data shows that during recent market corrections, tokenized Treasury growth outpaced stablecoin expansion, prioritizing stability over liquidity.

Leading financial firms and fintech platforms have played a crucial role in the expansion of tokenized treasuries. Products from major issuers such as Ondo Finance, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock-backed ventures have seen significant inflows. While some offerings have experienced a slowdown, the overall trend indicates a sustained demand for blockchain-based fixed-income products.

Ondo Finance's OUSG and USDY tokens now hold a combined $1 billion, a 53% increase in market value over the past month. Meanwhile, BlackRock's BUIDL token surged by 25% to surpass $800 million, and Franklin Templeton's BENJI token climbed 16% to $687 million.

The growing adoption of tokenized Treasuries suggests a broader integration of blockchain into traditional financial markets. As regulatory clarity improves and institutional interest grows, these assets could bridge the gap between digital finance and conventional investment strategies. If the trend continues, tokenized fixed-income products may become a cornerstone of the digital asset ecosystem, offering investors a reliable hedge against market instability.
