A powerful consortium of global banking giants including Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and UBS is collaborating to develop stablecoins pegged to G7 currencies, marking a significant institutional push into digital assets. This initiative follows former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of the sector and aims to challenge Tether’s overwhelming market dominance, where USDT currently accounts for $179 billion of the total $310 billion stablecoin market. The move represents growing mainstream acceptance of blockchain technology in traditional finance, with multiple banks exploring how digital assets can reduce costs and improve efficiency.

As of September 2025, tokenized U.S. Treasuries on public blockchains hold $7.42 billion, with significant concentration in Ethereum-based offerings. Fidelity’s recent entry with its OnChain share class adds $203.7 million to this growing sector, joining other major asset managers like BlackRock ($2.20B) and WisdomTree ($832.3M). The market is projected to reach $10 billion by year-end, requiring approximately $700 million in monthly net inflows. This growth is supported by attractive Treasury yields (3.94% for 3-month bills), reduced transaction costs from Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, and expanding use cases such as collateral for derivatives trading. The infrastructure continues to mature with enhanced custody solutions and integration with stablecoins, reinforcing tokenized treasuries as a viable alternative to traditional money market funds, which hold over $7 trillion in assets.

Fidelity Digital Investments launched the FDIT token on August 4, 2025, marking the financial giant’s official entry into tokenized real-world assets. The Ethereum-based ERC-20 token represents shares in U.S. Treasury securities and cash equivalents, offering 24/7 transferability with a 0.20% management fee. Despite accumulating over $200 million in assets, only two holders have been identified so far, indicating limited initial adoption. The launch positions Fidelity alongside BlackRock and Franklin Templeton in the rapidly growing tokenized treasury market, which has surpassed $300 billion according to recent data. The article also highlights Best Wallet Token ($BEST) as a potential beneficiary of this institutional blockchain adoption trend, noting its $15.6 million presale success and projected price growth.

Nasdaq has submitted a 19b-4 filing with the SEC to list the 21Shares Spot Dogecoin ETF, partnering with the Dogecoin Foundation for institutional backing. The ETF would track Dogecoin’s price via the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Index, with Coinbase Custody as custodian. However, the SEC has postponed Bitwise’s similar DOGE ETF application to June 2025, alongside delays for Ethereum, XRP, and Hedera ETFs. Dogecoin’s price hovers at $0.174 amid declining trading volume, with technical resistance at $0.18 potentially sparking a rally if broken. Analysts suggest regulatory clarity may take until late 2025.
