ArbitrumDAO Doubles Down on Tokenized Real-World Assets—Taps Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree for Phase 2
ArbitrumDAO just fast-tracked its RWA ambitions by onboarding three heavyweight asset managers—Franklin Templeton, Spiko, and WisdomTree—for its next expansion phase. Because nothing screams ’decentralization’ like Wall Street giants jumping on-chain.
These partnerships signal a major push to bridge traditional finance with DeFi infrastructure. Expect more yield-bearing tokenized treasuries, private credit pools, and—let’s be honest—plenty of regulatory gymnastics.
The move follows STEP 1’s success in proving institutional demand for blockchain-based RWAs. Now, Arbitrum’s scaling tech gets to flex its muscles handling real-world compliance headaches. Will institutions finally move beyond ’proof-of-concept’ theater? The chain’s TVL suggests they might.
