The boundary between traditional finance and on-chain finance could eventually disappear, Fidelity Digital Assets head of strategy Matthew Horne said during a panel discussion, according to Crypto Briefing. Horne said the gap between the two could vanish entirely, leaving only finance, and rejected the idea of a competitive dynamic between traditional finance and decentralized finance. Instead, on-chain finance is more likely to absorb traditional finance or be absorbed by it, Horne said, adding that the labels may ultimately stop mattering. He also said institutional assets are moving on-chain at a very fast pace, with the main driver being the opportunity to enter new markets that offer investors better access.

Japan’s Finance Ministry held the first meeting of a study group on blockchain-based government bonds and released materials classifying bond tokens into three types, according to local media. The first model involves circulating on a blockchain the beneficiary rights of a money market fund invested in government bonds. The second would keep the existing settlement system while recording the transfer ledger on a blockchain. The third would involve directly issuing a new form of blockchain-based government bond outside the existing system. The ministry said blockchain use in government bonds could improve the efficiency of collateral and liquidity management and broaden the investor base, with particular potential to expand access for overseas investors. It added there are also challenges, including market fragmentation across multiple blockchains and platforms, as well as system transition costs tied to changes in existing financial and payment infrastructure. The classification is provisional rather than a final decision, and the ministry plans to continue discussions and release a report before January next year.

Billions of dollars in assets could move on-chain if tokenized U.S. Treasuries and stocks gain wider adoption in the United States, Ka Yan Chan, UBS’ head of digital asset business development, said, according to Cointelegraph. Chan said Treasuries and stocks are core assets in investment portfolios, and for the tokenization market to grow from billions of dollars to the trillion-dollar range, major financial infrastructure institutions such as the Federal Reserve and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC, would need to move first on tokenization. Chan added industry firms could then build distribution infrastructure for tokenized assets on that foundation.
