Why BlackRock and Other Major Institutions Pay Attention to Blockchain Tech: Aptos CBO Solomon Tesfaye Interview

The tokenization narrative is not only growing, but it’s also evolving. While early conversations focused on whether the real-world asset sector could move on-chain, institutions are now asking a very different question: can blockchain infrastructure support financial markets at scale?

This shift is becoming increasingly visible across multiple networks, including Aptos. Securitize-related assets have reportedly surged 632% in June to reach $276 million. As major products such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund expand on the network, Aptos is positioning itself as infrastructure built for continuous settlement, institutional-grade financial activity, liquidity, and more.
