LONDON, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Calastone, the largest global funds network, today announces the launch of Calastone Tokenised Distribution – a pioneering solution that allows asset managers to tokenise any fund operating on Calastone’s network and distribute it seamlessly across blockchain-based channels.

This innovative service delivers a simple, frictionless route into tokenisation, without requiring asset managers to change how their funds are structured, administered, or serviced. Yet with one step, they can unlock access to a growing universe of investors who operate exclusively within blockchain ecosystems.

“Calastone Tokenised Distribution offers asset managers a powerful new route to market,” said Adam Belding, Chief Technology Officer at Calastone. “We make it possible to distribute existing funds via blockchain networks, instantly and at scale. without any operational upheaval or technical reinvention.”

The solution bridges the gap between traditional investment funds and blockchain-native networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Canton, where investment activity is increasingly executed and settled using digital assets. These networks are attracting a fast-growing class of investors that traditional distribution channels do not reach, including:

  • Corporate treasurers managing substantial on-chain cash balances for yield and efficiency
  • Stablecoin issuers and institutional crypto firms seeking regulated investment options without the need to convert into fiat currencies
  • Crypto-experienced retail and wealth investors who want access to traditional assets via the same wallets and digital infrastructure they use for digital assets

By embedding tokenised fund shares into these blockchain networks, asset managers gain direct access to new pools of capital, without disrupting existing processes or partnerships.

The solution leverages Calastone’s existing global network – spanning over 4,500 firms across 56 markets – to enable any share class on the network to be tokenised and distributed via public, hybrid, or private blockchains. Orders initiated on-chain are automatically translated and processed through Calastone’s infrastructure, ensuring full compatibility with traditional fund operations.

This enables asset managers to:

  • Expand into blockchain-native investor channels with no operational disruption
  • Reduce distribution costs via automation and smart contracts
  • Maintain existing service provider relationships
  • Position themselves for long-term advantage in an evolving investment landscape

The launch follows a recent Calastone study showing that tokenisation could unlock over $1351 billion in annual cost savings for the asset management industry, while accelerating fund launches and lowering seed capital requirements.

“The investment world is changing fast,” said Julien Hammerson, CEO of Calastone. “New pools of capital are forming on blockchain networks, and they are not being accessed through traditional channels. Our Tokenised Distribution solution gives asset managers instant reach into these markets, without the requirement or need for transformation. We are making it easy to evolve with the market.”

At its core, Calastone Tokenised Distribution converts eligible fund shares into smart contract-powered tokens embedded directly onto blockchain networks. These tokens reflect the fund’s full detail, operate with built-in security protocols, and automatically mint and burn in line with real-time subscriptions and redemptions.

KuCoin Ventures Research Unveils Battle for On-Chain “Gateway” as Newcomers Challenge the Old Guard

Published

on

kucoin-ventures-research-unveils-battle-for-on-chain-“gateway”-as-newcomers-challenge-the-old-guard

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The landscape for discovering and trading new crypto assets is undergoing a fundamental transformation. A new research from KuCoin Ventures reveals that on-chain trading platforms have rapidly evolved beyond specialized tools, becoming the core battleground for capturing early “alpha” opportunities. This shift has ignited a fierce battle for user “gateways,” posing a direct challenge to the long-held supremacy of centralized exchanges as the primary entry point for users and value capture.

The study captures several critical market dynamics currently unfolding:

  • A “Great Shuffle” is Underway: Following a brief, Memecoin-fueled frenzy, the market experienced a rapid cooling and subsequent shakeout. Notably, on chains like Solana, agile platforms such as Axiom leveraged strategic rewards, refined user experiences, and astute community strategies to surge ahead, capturing significant market share from incumbents like Photon and GMGN within months. This demonstrates the disruptive power of rapid iteration and targeted positioning.
  • User Behavior Holds Deeper Insights: While overall trading volumes contracted significantly, core user retention displayed remarkable resilience. This indicates that on-chain platforms achieving genuine product-market fit can retain high-value users even through market downturns or without continuous token incentives – a vital signal for crypto projects seeking sustainable growth.
  • Differentiation Becomes a Key Determinant: The research highlights that success is not monolithic. Whether it’s GMGN’s specialization in advanced data analytics, Axiom’s laser focus on optimizing the trading experience, or Moonshot’s simplified fiat onboarding, platforms must carve out unique value propositions to attract specific user segments. The report even delves into nuanced analysis of peak trading hours, suggesting potential regional user preferences.

Beyond documenting the present, the report signals emerging trends:

Despite challenges from new entrants, market volatility, and the evolving regulatory landscape, CEXs are actively exploring pathways to integrate centralized trading with on-chain ecosystems. A two-way street of influence and adoption is forming between CEX and on-chain environments, suggesting product-level boundaries are likely to blur further.

The report further emphasizes that as technologies like Account Abstraction and AI-powered trading assistants mature, the on-chain experience is set to become more seamless and intelligent, potentially onboarding a significant wave of new users directly into the ecosystem. Concurrently, numerous CEXs are responding and adapting by launching Web3 wallets and pursuing integrations, foreshadowing an era where the lines between centralized and decentralized trading environments become increasingly indistinct.

This timely and data-rich analysis provides essential intelligence for investors, traders, and builders navigating the evolving crypto infrastructure landscape. It sheds light on the strategic approaches and technological innovations most likely to define market leadership in the next cycle.
