Canton Network, an institutional blockchain backed by Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and DTCC, has added LayerZero as its first live interoperability protocol.

Ondo Finance said it will partner with Franklin Templeton to bring tokenized publicly traded stocks and ETFs to blockchain users via Ondo Global Markets, while ONDO traded around $0.28 after a 10% 24-hour rise. March 26 closed near $0.27 on $80.8 million in volume, with support seen at $0.25–$0.26 and resistance clustered at $0.285–$0.29; a close above $0.295 is framed as a key bullish trigger.

Bitcoin ETF inflows in 2026 hit one of their weakest daily readings at $7.61 million, a level that previously preceded sharp pullbacks after similarly low inflow days. U.S. investor sentiment also leaned risk-off as the Coinbase Premium Index slipped to -0.04, historically associated with declining prices. Separately, institutional Bitcoin holdings are down $69.94 billion from the 8 October peak while tokenized RWA markets grew by $7.85 billion to $26.60 billion.

On 25 March, Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Brad Jones said the debate has moved from whether tokenization belongs in Australia's financial system to how it should be implemented, with 24/7 trading in focus. Project Acacia outlined potential annual efficiency gains of $16.7 billion, while AUD stablecoins remain small at $10.5 million in total market cap, led by AUDD at $10.35 million.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins said an innovation exemption tied to tokenization may be issued within the next few weeks. He made the remarks in a March 25 interview while describing a shift toward clearer digital-asset rules and away from an enforcement-led approach, potentially expanding how tokenized securities are tested in U.S. markets.

Ondo (ONDO) traded around $0.26 on Thursday after Ondo Finance unveiled a partnership to bring Franklin Templeton’s ETFs on-chain. The rollout places Franklin Templeton’s $1.7 trillion AUM ETF lineup onto Ondo Global Markets, adding products such as Growth, Income Equity focus and High Yield Corporate ETFs.

On March 26, 2026, Franklin Templeton said it is working with Ondo Finance to place five ETFs onto public blockchains, with an initial launch planned outside the U.S. The structure uses an SPV to hold ETF shares at U.S.-registered broker-dealers while issuing 1:1 backed tokens that represent return rights and automatically reinvest dividends. The move comes as tokenized stocks approach ~$951M in total value and monthly transfer volume rises past $2.6B, alongside a tokenized Treasury market that has exceeded $11B by March 2026.

Startale Group said on March 26, 2026 it completed the second close of its Series A round, adding $50 million from SBI Group, Inc. to bring the total to $63 million.

Block Street (BSB) has emerged as one of the market's most explosive performers, skyrocketing 83.7% to reach $0.1515 as of Thursday, March 26, 2026. The parabolic move has pushed the project's market cap to $31.49 million, fueled by a high-octane mix of exchange-led trading competitions and a rapidly growing narrative around Real-World Asset (RWA) liquidity. Despite a broader market that remained largely flat (+0.5%), BSB has completely decoupled, printing massive green candles on a staggering $130.46 million in 24-hour trading volume.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has signaled support for real-world asset tokenization after Project Acacia findings suggested it could add 24 billion Australian dollars ($16.7 billion) a year to the economy. Assistant Governor Brad Jones said the focus is shifting from whether tokenization will play a role to how it should be implemented, including work on a new DFMI sandbox. He also highlighted interest in linking wholesale CBDC activity with deposit tokens, stablecoins and the RITS payments system.
