The rollout comes amid rapid expansion in tokenized real‑world assets, with tokenized U.S. Treasurys having surged from $750 million to $14.8 billion between Jan. 1, 2024, and June 11, 2026. On‑chain equities have expanded nearly 30‑fold, rising from $47.5 million to more than $1.42 billion during the same period.
