U.S. Treasuries represent the safest and most liquid assets in the world. A U.S. Treasury Bill (T-Bill) is a short-term, debt security issued by the U.S. government. This is considered a highly liquid and risk-free investment exempt from state and local taxes.
There are also U.S. Treasury Funds, which are collective investment vehicles such as money market funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
While U.S. Treasuries play a key role in shaping central bank policy to personal investment portfolios, these products are wrought with challenges. Slow settlement times, excessive intermediation, and fragmented access are issues often associated with U.S. Treasury products.
As a result, tokenized U.S. Treasuries are quickly gaining traction. According to rwa.xyz data, U.S. tokenized treasury products reached a new all-time high of $7.45 billion on Aug. 27. This number surpassed the previous peak of $7.42 billion recorded on July 15 this year.
What Are Tokenized US Treasuries?.
Jürgen Blumberg, COO of RWA tokenization platform Centrifuge, told Cryptonews that Tokenized U.S. Treasuries are digital tokens issued on a blockchain network. These tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) represent ownership of U.S. government debt or shares/units of a fund whose assets are Treasuries.
“Implementation varies—some tokens represent fractional direct ownership of T-Bills/T-Notes, while others represent ownership of a traditional fund (often domiciled offshore, for example, BVI or Abu Dhabi structures) where the fund holds Treasuries and the token mirrors fund units,” Blumberg said.
Blumberg added that tokenized treasuries can live on public blockchains like Ethereum, or on permissioned systems, depending on the issuer and investor requirements. Ethereum currently secures $5.2 billion of treasury products, amounting to 70% market share.
Tokenized Treasury Use Cases.
Many of the largest names in traditional finance (TradFi) asset management have already launched their own tokenized treasuries.
For example, global investment manager BlackRock’s BUIDL fund is the world’s largest tokenized U.S. Treasury for institutional investors. BUIDL is a $2.2 billion on-chain money market fund for institutions and pays daily interest straight to wallets, 90% of which are on Ethereum.
Brokerage firm Fidelity Asset Management also recently introduced a blockchain-based version of its Treasury money market fund. The new product, called the Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT), mirrors one share of the Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund (FYOXX) and is issued directly on the Ethereum network.
According to RWA.xyz, the fund began operating in August with a portfolio that consists entirely of U.S. Treasury securities and cash.
Jesse Knutson, head of operations at Bitfinex Securities, told Cryptonews that he believes the primary purpose of tokenized Treasuries is to provide investors around the world with the ability to invest or save in U.S. T-Bills. This is especially important for investors who often struggle to access high-quality investment opportunities.
