Ethereum’s smart-contract platform has crossed a major line. According to data 
shared by Token Terminal on X, the total value of tokenized assets on Ethereum 
now tops $6 billion. That figure covers products from asset managers, fund 
houses and blockchain firms. It proves institutions are treating on‑chain 
finance as more than a tech demo. Related Reading: XRP Could Hit $35 If It

BlackRock leads the pack. The world’s largest asset manager holds the biggest 
share of tokenized AUM on Ethereum. Close behind are Franklin Templeton,

parts of its US Government Money Fund. WisdomTree launched funds you can buy 
through a mobile app. Superstate and Apollo each add smaller but steady sums.

Adoption Speed Since Mid-2023 The climb didn’t happen in a day. Adoption 
started slowly around mid‑2023. It rose further in early 2024. Then by January 
2025, the line on the stacked chart shot straight up. That jump comes as 
BlackRock and Franklin Templeton pour in fresh tokens. Faster trades and fewer 
middlemen are big draws. Trades that once took days can now settle in minutes 
or seconds. That kind of speed appeals to big investors, who want clarity and 
a clear audit trail. This push into tokenized finance shows a shift in how big 
firms manage money. Ethereum still faces questions about scaling. If gas fees 
jump again, trading costs could rise sharply. Related Reading: Bitcoin Meets

Regulators in the US, Europe and Asia have yet to set clear rules. A clampdown 
in one region might push firms toward other chains or private blockchains. 
Competition from Solana, Avalanche and new networks is already heating up. 
With $6 billion on‑chain, tokenized assets are past the trial stage. More 
firms will likely join once rules firm up and scaling solutions roll out. 
Markets could see new fund types, cross‑border trades and on‑chain yield 
tools. For now, Ethereum holds the lead. Yet the next hurdles—fee pressure, 
rule making and rival chains—will test whether it can keep growing. Featured
