Tokenised real-world assets have breached the $100 billion threshold, signaling a maturation beyond experimental phases into institutional adoption. BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton now operate live tokenised funds, while the NYSE develops a blockchain-based trading venue for round-the-clock transactions.

European banks including HSBC and Barclays are piloting tokenised sterling deposits using Quant Network's infrastructure. The DTCC's SEC-approved plans to support asset tokenisation by mid-2026 further cement blockchain's integration into regulated markets.

Despite rapid growth across bonds, funds, and deposits, operational challenges persist. Financial institutions must reconcile tokenised assets with legacy systems—trading desks, risk engines, and post-trade infrastructure—without complete overhaul. Murex's MX.3 platform emerges as a potential bridge, serving 300+ clients globally.
