When #R3 set out to bring $15B+ in #tokenized #RWAs on-chain, we needed infrastructure that could meet institutional demands. @Solana was the clear technical choice. In our latest blog, Richard G. Brown explains why 👉

#R3 was the first to tokenize securities through HQLAx – a groundbreaking project developed alongside some of the biggest names in finance, including Bank of New York Mellon, BNP Securities Services, Citibank, Clearstream, Euroclear, and J.P. Morgan. Bringing our vision for tokenized, institutional‑grade assets to life meant navigating the complex, multi‑year onboarding processes of the world’s leading banks and exchanges. That journey laid the groundwork for what came next — establishing the trust, regulatory expertise, and infrastructure needed to take tokenization from concept to scale. Over the past decade, we’ve helped institutions move on chain, enabling the issuance of more than $15 billion in tokenized financial assets — including bonds, cash, and gold — within R3’s ecosystem. This track record proves our technology meets the highest standards of global finance. Now, with @Solana’s high-performance infrastructure and global reach, we’re taking that expertise mainstream — unlocking access to institutional-grade assets for millions.

🦐 Total #Crypto Market Cap? ~$4 trillion. 🐋 Traditional Financial Assets? Over $400 trillion. That’s the scale of the opportunity real-world asset (#RWA) #tokenization presents. Industry projections suggest 10-30% of global assets could be tokenized by the early 2030s — bringing trillions in capital onto blockchain rails. The infrastructure has to be bulletproof — secure, compliant, high-performance. That’s why R3 is working with Solana to bring together the best of #TradFi and #Web3 — enabling institutional tokenization at real-world scale. The rails are being built. The capital is coming 💪

R3 (@inside_r3) earned the trust of institutions like HSBC, Euroclear, and SDX. Next stop: permissionless markets. $15B+ in tokenized assets are coming to Solana.

Regulators are catching up with innovation. From ESMA’s #DLT Pilot Regime in the EU to Project Open in the US, regulators are encouraging financial institutions to experiment with public‑permissioned #blockchain convergence. This is BIG. It means greater distribution flexibility, broader liquidity access, and faster adoption of #tokenized assets. And it’s why leading firms — from @BlackRock to Franklin Templeton (@FTI_US) — are already launching tokenized funds on public chains. See how regulatory shifts are shaping the future of finance 👉

Double denim never looked this good. #R3 x #Solana — the perfect fit to bring $15B in assets on-chain.

Institutional finance meets onchain innovation. #R3 and @Solana are working together to create the fastest, most secure path for regulated financial institutions to access public blockchain ecosystems. By combining #Solana's global-scale infrastructure with #R3’s enterprise-grade tech, we’re enabling real-world finance to move at internet speed — securely, efficiently, and with full regulatory alignment. Be the first to build where #TradFi meets #DeFi.

🚀 $30.1 trillion — that’s the projected global demand for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) by 2034, according to Standard Chartered (@StanChart). At R3, we’re not only anticipating this shift — we’re actively enabling it. Today, more than $15 billion in tokenized assets are already live on our network, trusted by leading financial institutions around the world. Now, through our collaboration with @Solana, we’re expanding what’s possible — bringing together the compliance-first needs of institutions with the innovation of public blockchain technology. Tokenization is no longer theoretical. It’s here — and it’s reshaping the future of global finance.

Apple. Google. Facebook. Once, hoodie‑wearing disruptors. Now, trillion‑dollar giants. Blockchain is walking that same road — and as @Solana’s video shows, the hoodies and suits are finally in the same room. Which one are you? 🤔

We built Corda to bring real-world assets on-chain — with legal clarity and regulatory confidence. But to take tokenization to the next level, we needed a public chain that could meet the demands of global finance with professional-grade infrastructure and tooling. @Solana stood out for three reasons: ✅ Engineered scale — without rollups or added complexity ✅ Long-term vision and consistent execution ✅ A deep, developer-rich ecosystem We’re proud to be leading the future of global capital markets with #Solana.
