SharpLink CEO and former BlackRock Exec Joseph Chalom on what the inflection point in tokenization will look like “We went through a period in tokenization where you had individual projects tokenized and everyone got excited. Franklin Templeton tokenized a money market fund called BENJI, then BlackRock did BUIDL, then our friends at Apollo did ACRED. So you’re going organically one fund or project at a time.” “What I’m looking for is some asset manager to wake up one day and not tokenize a fund but tokenize a fund complex measured in the hundreds of billions… When you see [massive one-time step functions], you know you’re at the right point of tokenization and it’s irreversible. So not individual projects, but entire complexes and asset classes. When that happens, there’s no going backwards.” Yesterday, BlackRock filed to launch two more tokenized money market funds. One is a newly created fund built specifically as a stablecoin reserve vehicle. As more stablecoins come to market, issuers are seeking reserve funds that are both Genius-compliant and tokenized to allow for 24/7 trading and near-instant settlement. The other is more interesting. And it's only on Ethereum. Unlike BUIDL, which was its own standalone fund, BlackRock added a tokenized share class to BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund (a $6.1B fund inside their institutional money market complex, BlackRock Liquidity Funds). The complex holds hundreds of billions across funds like FedFund, MuniCash, and T-Fund. The infrastructure is now built inside the complex. Extending it to FedFund or MuniCash next is a much smaller lift than what BlackRock just did. Chalom's step function isn't here yet, but the rails are - on Ethereum. Source: @CoinDesk (Feb 2026)
