Goldman Sachs Eyes 24/7 Trading with Tokenized Treasuries & Funds (Because Why Not?)

In a world where institutional demand for on-chain financial products grows faster than your Wi-Fi signal drops, Goldman Sachs has decided to leap headfirst into the blockchain pool, hoping not to drown in the decentralized waters. Their plan? To connect the rigid world of traditional finance with the unpredictable chaos of blockchain. Truly, a match made in financial heaven—or, perhaps, a universe where everyone is trying to out-innovate each other. 😎

The firm, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to roll out not one, but three tokenization projects this year. Because if you’re going to tokenize something, why not just go big or go home? Their projects include the ever-so-sexy U.S.-based fund tokenization and, for an added international flair, a euro-denominated digital bond. Because who doesn’t want to tokenize euros? 🚀💸

This move comes right on the heels of the tokenized money market funds boom, which, just in case you were wondering, have already surpassed a cool $1 billion in assets under management. McKinsey analysts, those profit-predicting wizards, estimate that the whole sector could grow to a mind-boggling $2 trillion by 2030. That’s right, two trillion with a T. No pressure, right? 😅

Meanwhile, tokenized Treasuries—because why should just crypto have all the fun?—have crossed the $5 billion mark, largely thanks to BlackRock’s BUIDL fund. The BUIDL fund sounds like something a teenager came up with on the back of a napkin, but hey, it’s working. 🎉

Goldman Sachs, not one to sit idly by and watch others play with all the toys, is hoping to unlock new liquidity pathways with this whole “continuous, blockchain-based settlement” thing. Because, apparently, traditional assets just need to be more in sync with the speed and flexibility of Web3 infrastructure. Or maybe it’s just the blockchain equivalent of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Either way, it’s happening. 🏎️💨
