Banks to Run Real World Assets (RWAs) on Dual Blockchain Rails, Says RedStone Co-founder

Institutional groups add Real World Assets to their books. Banks and asset managers put tokenized assets on two blockchains. They use one rail that lets all see details and another that hides them. This design meets needs for cash flow, secrecy, and rule compliance in asset tokenization and DeFi.

Public vs Permissioned Blockchains for RWA Tokenization

Marcin Kaźmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, points out a growing split. Market products and client deals stay on open blockchains like Ethereum. Bank work that calls for secrecy uses a closed system like Digital Asset’s Canton Network.

• Public networks (for example, Ethereum) bring cash flow, mixable contracts, and entry to DeFi tools like loan systems and token vaults. Ethereum shows over $15 billion in tokens and $160 billion in stablecoins. Its open design wins on size.
• Permissioned systems (for example, Canton Network) work for private swaps and one-to-one trades. Only the two sides see the details, much like traditional bank work. In 2025, Canton Network moved $6 trillion in value.

Kaźmierczak says the twin rails work side by side. They fill separate roles in the stack of tokenized finance.

Institutional Momentum and Regulatory Frameworks

Bank groups found tokenized assets more appealing after Ethereum moved to proof-of-stake in 2022. Many began projects by 2023 or 2024. Announcements peaked in late 2024, as teams built up their plans.

Market watchers expect the token flow to rise fast:

• McKinsey sees tokens worth about $2 trillion by 2030.
• Forecasts from Standard Chartered and Synpulse aim for $30.1 trillion by 2034. Clear rules, especially in the U.S., help the spread. The 2025 GENIUS Act set a federal rule base for stablecoins. Many use stablecoins to set final value in token trades.

Privacy Approaches: Permissioned Sharing vs Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Bank models differ in how they treat privacy. Canton Network shares details only with the two sides in the deal. This mirrors old ways of bank secrecy.

Some in blockchain push for cryptographic tools like zero-knowledge proofs. These proofs check a deal without showing all details. One CEO at Matter Labs says these proofs keep deals safe even if system guards fail. Digital Asset worries that keeping all data hidden could hide mistakes or fraud like past bank issues.

The talk shows that banks still test how to keep privacy while checking numbers in DeFi and blockchains.

Market Infrastructure and Collaboration

Canton Network shows bank and tech firms teaming up. It started in 2023 by Digital Asset. Groups such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Deloitte join in. Canton helps put tokens on the record and settle trades while keeping details private. A pilot with the US Treasury Collateral Network finished in 2024 with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. This step links tokenized assets with established bank systems.

RWA.xyz notes that Canton now holds over $313 billion in tokenized assets. The large numbers show the scale of closed token systems.

Conclusion

Real World Assets grow in value. Banks work on tokenized assets along two rails:

• Open blockchains like Ethereum bring cash flow, mixable rules, and wide access.
• Closed networks like Canton Network keep trades private and fit old bank ways.

This two-pronged scheme balances the open side of DeFi with the secret side of bank rules. Rule progress, tech work, and bank ties push forward tokenized RWAs as a key part of tomorrow’s markets.
