Major Banks Turn to Solana for Real-World Asset Tokenization

R3 and Solana Partner to Bring $10B in Tokenized Assets from Major Banks to Blockchain

  • R3 is partnering with the Solana Foundation to bring traditional financial institutions’ tokenized assets to the Solana Blockchain.
  • R3’s Corda platform holds over $10 billion in assets, with major banks and authorities as clients, including HSBC, Bank of America, Bank of Italy, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
  • Tokenization on blockchain means representing real-world assets, such as stocks and bonds, as digital tokens for decentralized trading.
  • A report from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple estimates the tokenization market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.
  • While Solana hosts a smaller total value than Ethereum, it processes more transactions and has a higher number of active addresses.

Several large banks and financial institutions will start using the Solana blockchain for their tokenization activities, following a new partnership between R3 and the Solana Foundation. Through this collaboration, R3 plans to allow its clients to transfer tokenized real-world assets onto the Solana network.

R3 operates the blockchain platform Corda, which currently secures more than $10 billion in assets. Major users of Corda include HSBC, Bank of America, Bank of Italy, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Tokenization is a process where assets like stocks and bonds are created as unique digital tokens, enabling their trading on decentralized blockchains. According to a recent Boston Consulting Group and Ripple report, this sector could expand to $18.9 trillion by 2033.

R3 aims to expand the reach and liquidity of digital assets by making them available on a public blockchain such as Solana. Solana’s total value locked is lower than Ethereum’s, but research shows that Solana handles more individual transactions and active addresses than its competitors.

“As the world’s most used public blockchain, Solana … [is] the ideal foundation for the next generation of regulated digital finance,” R3 said in a company statement. The move is designed to accelerate the growth of the tokenized asset sector within established finance.

The announcement reflects the traditional finance industry’s growing interest in scalable and efficient blockchain solutions for regulated digital assets. Industry experts expect more institutions to look for ways to tap blockchain technology for asset management and trading as the sector grows.
