The Future of Tokenization

Scaramucci, a former Goldman Sachs executive who briefly served in the White House during Trump’s presidency, told Fortune, “I basically see the period from 2026 to 2027 as the age of real-world tokenization.”

SkyBridge Capital plans to deploy its tokenized funds on the Avalanche blockchain network. According to crypto analytics provider DefiLlama, Avalanche currently holds nearly $2 billion in assets on its network.

Fund Structure and Crypto Investments

Scaramucci stated that the amount being tokenized represents about 10% of the firm’s assets under management. One of the two funds focuses on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that have not been classified as securities. The other is a fund-of-funds, which includes SkyBridge’s other investment vehicles, covering both venture capital and crypto funds.

Reducing Transaction Fees and Cutting Out Middlemen

Experts say offering investment funds on decentralized networks can reduce fees and eliminate intermediaries. In traditional finance, there are often multiple parties between buyers and sellers, each verifying the origin of the asset, which slows down the process and adds costs.

Blockchain is a decentralized database, meaning no single party can tamper with stored information. Theoretically, ownership and authenticity of a financial asset can be verified directly on the blockchain without a middleman. Users can check the details themselves.

Moves by Institutional Giants

Although the benefits of tokenization have been praised for some time, putting real-world assets on the blockchain is still an emerging trend—but it is gaining momentum. Financial heavyweights like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck have recently issued money market funds on blockchains such as Solana and Aptos. In the future, investors may be able to buy and transfer their stakes in various funds directly, without repeatedly calling banks.
