Wormhole-backed tokenized assets touch $3B as Mercado Bitcoin readies to onboard $200M

Source Cryptopolitan

Wormhole is emerging as a dominant player within the tokenized asset space, with the interoperability provider now servicing more than $3 billion worth of assets.

Data shared by Robinson Burkey, the co-founder of Wormhole, shows the value of Wormhole’s Multichain Tokenized Assets Under Management (MTAUM) has surged from less than $1B to $3.04 billion over the past seven weeks. Wormhole’s MTAUM is also up 340% year-to-date.

The milestone coincides with Mercado Bitcoin, the largest Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange, tapping Wormhole to provide interoperability functionality for more than $200 million worth of tokenized assets.

The partnership will see Mercado Bitcoin leverage Wormhole’s interoperability protocol to offer tokenized products across more than 30 blockchain networks.

“This partnership with Wormhole marks a pivotal step in our mission to democratize access to digital assets,” said Fabrício Tota, vice president of new business development at Mercado Bitcoin. “Wormhole… enables us to scale beyond regional boundaries and connect our tokenized asset ecosystem to a truly global, multi-chain environment.”

Wormhole MTAUM booms alongside tokenized treasuries

Wormhole’s ballooning MTAUM follows Securitize onboarding the firm as an interoperability provider for BlackRock’s tokenized treasury fund, BUIDL, and coincides with a recent boom in the tokenized treasury sector.

Securitize onboarded Wormhole in January, allowing BUIDL holders to transfer shares across the seven networks supported by the fund. The value of BUIDL’s assets under management is up more than 300% since posting a local low on January 22, tagging $2.56 billion on April 27, according to rwa.xyz.

Centrifuge, a real-world asset-focused Web3 project, also teamed up with Wormhole on April 9, bringing the Anemoy Janus Henderson (JTRSY) tokenized treasury fund into Wormhole’s ecosystem. HTSRY’s market cap currently sits at $221.1 million, up 543% from $34.4 million over the past four weeks.

Wormhole also secures Apollo Global’s tokenized private credit fund, ACRED, which boasts a $61.7 million market cap after launching in January.

“Institutions are coming ‘on-chain’, meaning all the chains, not just one,” Burkey said.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
