The new standard will convert Ethereum into a tokenized asset settlement platform, eliminating the need to wrap assets or use bridges.
The new Ethereum Standard, ERC-7943, comes in a timely moment. NASDAQ just filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch tokenized securities trading earlier this week, and Kraken Exchange outlined plans to trade EU users with tokenized stocks among other assets. Is real-world asset (RWA) tokenization destined to immediately bring about change in the financial world?
summary
- ERC-7943 aims to eliminate bridges, wrapping, and other methods of interconnecting various token types.
- It is currently in the review phase. The creator of EIP-7943 claims to streamline RWA tokenization and give it a common foundation for the world.
- Franklin Templeton, Binans, Nasdaq, Kraken and other companies are already working to provide clients with exposure to tokenized securities and other cradfi equipment.
- When the $257 trillion securities market is tokenized, it will significantly outperform the $2 trillion stubcoin market.
Ethereum prepares for the large market of tokenized RWA
Tokenized RWA volumes are growing at an increasing rate. It grew by 6% between August 10th and September 10th, reaching nearly $28.4 billion. Such rapid volume growth demonstrates an institutional appetite for tokenized assets. However, this technology lacked a convenient solution for a seamless settlement of tokenized securities.
Brickken co-founder Dario Lo Buglio created the Ethereum Improvement Proposal 7943, or EIP-7943. This is an implementation and dependent framework that allows for the use of any token type.
The new standard aims to solve blockchain interoperability problems by eliminating the need for custom bridges and wrappers. The app allows direct manipulation of various token types. This new foundation may open gates for streamlined global trade in tokenized real-world assets.
Unlike the previous criteria, the new ERC applies to all tokens, regardless of how they are built. If standards work as intended, they will stop fragmenting the market and accelerate the tokenized RWA era.
Brickken, Forte Protocol, Digishares, Dekalabs, Fulltokenized and Bit2me are among the companies supporting EIP-7943.
📢 We’re proud to be part of a coalition of leading RWA platforms supporting ERC-7943, a new open standard for institutional-grade tokenization.

CCN says Dario Lo Buglio:
“The agency is struggling to meet compliance requirements with the open architecture of the blockchain. The bridge of the ERC-7943. Its modular structure makes integration seamless, and shared community support gives us confidence to live in production-level RWA use cases.”
More and more companies are implementing tokenized RWA transactions
Companies and institutions including heavyweights such as BlackRock, Nasdaq and Binance will not wait for Ethereum’s solution, but are already working to provide a means for clients to trade tokenized securities and ETFs.
In May, Switzerland began releasing XStocks, tokenizing US assets. XStocks is built on Solana and can be traded on several platforms that bypass traditional brokerages and unite with the Xstocks Alliance. XStocks cannot trade in the US within six weeks. Solana’s Xstocks volume exceeded $2 billion.

The same month, Robinhood Markets and BlackRock made their own announcements. Robinhood has revealed that it is working on a solution that will allow users to trade Arbitrum-based tokenized securities. BlackRock has introduced a tokenized version of Money Market Fund Buidl. This product was created in collaboration with Securitize and is backed by BlackRock’s Buidl.
The age of securities trading is coming, which has been tokenized. Looking at the headlines only for the past few days, you can see that major players are working hard to make it happen.
- Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, will join forces at Franklin Templeton, a $1.6 trillion investment management company, to launch new products related to blockchain and regulated tokenized assets.
- There are also plans for NASDAQ to allow tokenized stock trading. On September 8th, it was announced that it would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- On September 10th, Kraken announced the launch of Xstocks Trading for EU residents.
There will definitely be more similar news over the next few months.
What kind of changes will be converted to mass tokens?

As RWA tokenization gains momentum, several important changes continue. Stocks and ETFs are more accessible, traded 24/7, and have cheaper and faster settlements. Mid-term risk will decrease, unlocking new opportunities for traders and investors to use innovative tools to leverage the $257 trillion market.
As Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, pointed out, blockchain solutions are changing the financial sector in the Internet age and driving the trend towards tokenization.
This shift encourages policymakers to focus on regulating tokenized assets. In July, SEC Chair Paul Atkins called tokenized RWAS innovatively, but Commissioner Hester Perth emphasized that tokenized securities still have to comply with the securities law. Some US companies have already tested it in the EU, but as the US develops its regulations it could help streamline sector growth.
