Diving deeper into some of the biggest updates from Hedera.

#️⃣ What’s happening: Institutional-grade tokenization and regulated finance are key areas for Hedera as the network moves deeper into real-world assets (RWAs) and enterprise, HBAR Inc.’s Chief Business Officer Gregg Bell said during the latest Token Relations Quarterly Webinar.

Edward Nwokedi, CEO of Red Swan, and Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital also discussed how tokenization is transforming commercial real estate liquidity and bridging traditional investors to digital assets via ETFs.

#️⃣ Why it matters: Hedera’s enterprise-focused infrastructure is seeing traction in the regulated tokenization space — Red Swan, for example, has tokenized more than $100 million in commercial real estate assets on the network. “I’ve sold real estate for 20 years institutionally, and it was always the ultra-rich game,” Nwokedi said. “Now that we’re tokenizing the assets, we’re opening it up so anyone around the world could have access.”

At the same time, financial products built around Hedera are making it easy for more traditional investors to buy and sell digital assets. Canary Capital’s spot HBAR ETF, launched in late October 2025, has so far attracted more than $51 million in assets, giving investors exposure to the Hedera ecosystem without having to hold the token themselves. “In the long run, I envision a world where institutional investors are moving into the tokenized platforms and buying tokenized securities,” McClurg said.

Overall, Hedera is gaining traction as a common settlement and issuance layer for both everyday commerce and regulated financial assets. “Institutions aren’t looking for experiments,” Bell said. “They’re looking for compliant infrastructure that can support real assets, real cash flows and real scale.”

#️⃣ The bigger picture: With initiatives like Red Swan and the HBAR ETF turning RWAs into accessible, liquid products for both retail and institutional investors, Hedera has the opportunity to ride current market tailwinds and grow to align itself with institutions seeking efficient tokenization of equities, real estate and funds.

“It’s gonna be less about, is this asset tokenized on Hedera, but more about what are the attributes of this real estate property, the yield, the return, the risk characteristics,” Bell said.
