Tokenized securities expands, as investors turn to predictable passive income

Source Cryptopolitan

The crypto market shifts to tokenized securities during the periods right after a market top. After the bullish rally, investors switch to demand for passive income.

Tokenized securities have been growing in the past two months, following Bitcoin (BTC) record prices. Research by Messari shows a shift toward tokenized securities, which grow their supply following a market peak. Tokenized bonds are the most reliable basis for tokenization, while stocks lag due to regulatory doubts and general market fluctuations.

Tokenized treasuries serve as risk-off assets, offering low but secure passive income. Messari’s data shows that the crypto market is currently in the expansion stage for tokenized securities.

The most common type of tokenized security is US treasury debt, which is used within RWA protocols in addition to stablecoins. Tokenized debt grows independent of the supply of stablecoins, which expands and contracts based on general market cycles.

The growth of tokenization happened despite the slowdown of Ethereum (ETH) and the fall of BTC from a top above $109,000. Demand for tokenized treasuries comes from protocols that are shifting their volatile crypto earnings into more secure holdings.

Tokenized US treasuries lead the way

Tokenized US treasuries are the fastest-growing type of RWA after private debt. In the past months, tokenized treasuries expanded to $4.6B, based on data by RWA.xyz. Messari’s approach estimates a higher number, up to $4.8B in tokenized treasuries.

The sector has grown about 20% in the first quarter of 2024, marked by a drawdown for all other crypto assets. According to Ondo Finance, the growth of tokenized securities is even faster than the initial expansion of stablecoins. The current supply was achieved in just two years, while stablecoins took more than four years to grow to that level during the early stages of the crypto market.

On-chain data shows there are a total of 23 government security products, most of which serve as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto tokens.

Most of the issuance of tokenized US treasuries is linked to six entities, with BlackRock’s BUIDL among the most prominent token offerings. Other top issuers include Hashnote, Franklin Templeton, Ondo Finance, Securitize, Superstate, and Spiko. The top 5 issuers carry more than 78% of all bond-backed tokens.

The tokenization market has also grown more diverse in the past few quarters. At the initial stage, most of the market was covered by BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Recently, new tokenization inflows came from Securitize and Hashnote. The landscape of tokenized US treasuries is shifting based on demand. Even BlackRock’s BUIDL decreased its supply to around 370M tokens, spread among 37 holders, after lowered demand. At the same time, other issuers expanded their products.

Those large-scale issuers use yield-bearing stablecoins to wrap their security offerings, achieving risk-free fixed income. The yield-bearing stablecoins are not widely used for crypto tasks, payments or DeFi, but are instead a part of the portfolio for other projects and funds.

Additionally, a handful of smaller startups have tokenized around $200M in US and international debt. Tokenized debt has still not reached retail buyers and is mostly used by whales and protocols to support other assets or as a strategic reserve.

Currently, BENJI by Franklin Templeton is the only fund available for US-based retail buyers. On-chain data shows products are often used at the protocol level to back up new types of stablecoins for DeFi lending or other tasks.

The availability of tokenized US T-bills allows protocols to park their earnings from bull markets into a secure cash-like asset with additional passive income. The tokenization of reliable securities also legitimizes the crypto market and on-chain assets.

Tokenized security issuers mostly use Ethereum for their tokenization as a legacy network with sufficient users and liquidity. Franklin Templeton uses the most diverse set of chains, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, and Stellar. Recently, BlackRock’s BUIDL also added Solana as the next tokenization platform.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000（h3） BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area（h3） If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear（h3） The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish（h3） The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
