Wall Street heavyweight pushes deeper into crypto rails with round-the-clock markets and fund tokenisation.
Key Highlights:
Goldman Sachs will launch 24/7 trading for tokenised U.S. Treasuries and money market funds.
The bank is also exploring spinning off its digital asset platform into a separate entity to scale adoption.
Yello ParadiseSquad! Goldman Sachs just sent a clear message to the financial world: digital asset rails are no longer experimental—they’re infrastructure. Speaking at TOKEN2049 in Dubai, Mathew McDermott, the head of the bank’s digital asset division, announced that Goldman is set to roll out 24/7 tokenised trading of U.S. Treasuries and money market funds, with live transactions around the clock.
This is a dramatic shift in how traditional financial products will be traded—moving from Monday-to-Friday windows to real-time settlement, enabled by blockchain. And Goldman isn’t stopping there.
Three Tokenisation Tracks by 2025
By the end of next year, Goldman aims to execute on three tokenisation fronts:
First, round-the-clock tokenised trading of U.S. Treasuries and MMFs.
Second, euro-denominated digital bond issuance.
Third, tokenisation of American investment funds for broader accessibility and flexibility.
This expansion complements Goldman’s existing presence in crypto derivatives trading and positions the bank as a first-mover in the growing intersection of blockchain and capital markets.
GS DAP Could Spin Off as an Independent Platform
Perhaps the most telling detail from McDermott’s announcement is the bank’s internal discussions about making its GS DAP (Digital Asset Platform) a standalone entity. If spun out, the platform would be open for use by multiple financial institutions, essentially turning Goldman from a single-player operator into a foundational layer for tokenised finance.
The goal? Create greater interoperability, deeper liquidity pools, and more efficient market mechanisms—core themes that mirror what’s happening in DeFi, but now with institutional backing and compliance layers.
Why This Matters
With interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation soaring and demand for 24/7 finance growing, Goldman’s move could trigger a domino effect among TradFi giants. If Treasuries and MMFs go real-time, what’s next? Equity markets? Private credit? Carbon credits?
And for crypto natives, this signals something even deeper—blockchain infrastructure is now being baked into global financial plumbing, not just as an asset class, but as the transactional layer itself.
