IMF warns $65.1 billion tokenized asset market could amplify shocks through auto-liquidation

The International Monetary Fund said in Chapter 3 of its October 2026 Global Financial Stability Report that tokenized real-world assets had reached about $65.1 billion as of July 31, excluding repurchase agreements and stablecoins. Within that total, tokenized credit stood at $30.4 billion, money market funds at $17.5 billion, and tokenized equities at $2.3 billion. The IMF said several design features in tokenized markets could intensify stress when conditions deteriorate. It pointed to auto-liquidation, instant settlement, continuous trading, and programmable collateral as mechanisms that may accelerate forced unwinds and magnify financial shocks. The report also warned that reusing collateral across platforms could increase leverage and allow risks to spread more quickly across institutions and markets. The IMF identified four obstacles to broader adoption in tokenized markets: legal certainty, regulatory clarity, blockchain interoperability, and reliable settlement assets. It recommended technology-neutral regulation, stronger oversight, circuit breakers, and measures to reduce instability tied to automated liquidation. The findings were cited by Bitcoin.com News and relayed by Odaily.

KoreInside, Digital Motion team up to bring compliant tokenized securities to Ethereum, Solana and other public chains

Compliance-focused tokenized securities infrastructure firm KoreInside has entered a partnership with Web3 technology provider Digital Motion to help issuers deploy regulated tokenized securities on public blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Base. Under the arrangement, KoreInside will handle compliance infrastructure tied to investor eligibility and ownership requirements, while Digital Motion will provide the technical layer needed to deploy and operate those assets on public networks. The companies said the partnership is aimed at a practical problem that does not disappear when securities move on-chain: rules around investor verification, jurisdictional restrictions, ownership records and transfer eligibility still need to be enforced even if ownership is represented by blockchain tokens. For Solana-based projects, Digital Motion plans to use its SPL-4133 security token standard as part of the technical framework. The companies said the combined offering creates a more direct route from compliant issuance to public Web3 networks and reflects a shift in the real-world asset sector from proving technical feasibility to operating at scale.

Allium says Solana led all chains in RWA spot trading volume and transaction count over the past year

Blockchain data analytics platform Allium released a research report on the Solana real-world asset, or RWA, ecosystem on Sept. 8, 2026. The report said Solana accounted for about 12% of all on-chain tokenized real-world assets by market capitalization, while ranking first when measured by trading activity. Over the 12 months through Aug. 18, 2026, Solana recorded $14.7 billion in on-chain RWA spot trading volume, compared with roughly $46 billion across all chains, and 42.6 million transactions, versus about 91 million chain-wide. Both figures were higher than those of any other blockchain in the report. Allium said the study covered all 37 issuers active on-chain at the time. Among them, BlackRock-linked assets had a market size of about $741 million but saw no trading during the period, while two private credit issuers together recorded about $5.4 billion in transfer volume. The report also found that around 63% of tokenized stock trading volume on Solana took place when U.S. exchanges were closed.

Products from Circle, Tether, BlackRock, and Ondo are included.

Crypto exchange LBank said it is expanding its partnership with Ondo Finance by integrating USDY and Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, adding to its lineup of tokenized real-world asset offerings.

According to the announcement, Ondo Intelligent Portfolios include themes such as artificial intelligence, technology companies, and semiconductors. LBank said users will be able to access diversified tokenized asset exposure within a single account rather than using separate products or platforms. The exchange also said its existing business already covers precious metals, equities, and global indexes. With the expanded Ondo cooperation, LBank is adding more categories to that tokenized asset range. The announcement was distributed by Chainwire and cited by Techub News.
