The next phase of tokenization is kicking off strong: BlackRock’s Pool Tokens land on HBAR via Archax.
BlackRock is testing the waters with a selection of money-market funds (MMFs) tokenized on Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) via Archax, but a lot more is yet to come. With a carbon-negative footprint, fixed & ultra-low fees amidst an ultra-high 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) score, Hedera’s HBAR Network will now also host BlackRock’s Pool Tokens.
BlackRock’s ‘Fund Of Funds’ Sets Foot On HBAR
These are synthetic baskets that comprise various money-market funds (MMFs). This sort of ‘fund of funds’ is also deployed by Archax, the British institutional-grade crypto brokerage that previously released a series of Pound Sterling, Euro & United States Dollar MMFs on-chain.
With the new Pool Tokens, BlackRock’s investors are able to gain access to ultra-safe, yield-bearing cash equivalents with nearly-instantaneous settlement time. The fractional ownership of real estate is becoming increasingly trendy in the growing Real World Asset (RWA) market, now breaching $25 billion in market capitalization.
ETF Buzz Calms Down: No Direct BlackRock Deal?
It’s fair to say that this doesn’t imply a direct partnership between Blackrock & Hedera (HBAR), as Archax brokers are the ones choosing the particular DLT chain for the deed, not BlackRock directly. However, 2025 was full of speculation that BlackRock would launch HBAR based ETFs, including a standalone exchange-traded fund (ETF) item.
While that didn’t happen, BlackRock is likely to make use of HBAR’s on-chain collateral for trading, while government bonds & tokenized treasuries are expected to be the next big thing in the RWA market. BlackRock’s expansion into tokenization market aligns with Hedera’s growing role in the field, so choosing HBAR as a settlement layer isn’t out of the question.
Ultimately, it’s safe to say that BlackRock is testing HBAR’s waters with lower-risk products before diving into higher-risk, bigger-reward assets. Those could be private credit, as well as structured on-chain products like Derivatives on niche Real World Assets (RWAs) & carbon credit markets.
