RedStone launches settlement layer to activate $30 billion in tokenized assets

A new study by the University of Cambridge highlights the potential of tokenising real‑world assets in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). It outlines use cases, regulatory pathways and lessons from early adopters, emphasizing how tokenisation could deepen capital markets and improve financial inclusion in regions with large informal sectors and costly cross‑border capital flows.

Separately, decentralized oracle provider RedStone introduced a settlement layer called “Settle” on May 15. The product runs on‑chain auctions that allow liquidity providers to absorb the long redemption periods of tokenised real‑world assets (such as US Treasuries, private credit and fund shares) used as collateral in DeFi lending protocols. By doing so, it aims to unlock roughly $30 billion of idle tokenised assets, enabling faster liquidations for platforms like Aave and Morpho while offering risk‑adjusted returns to participants who can wait out the redemption timeline.
