About

Block & Bond is a daily briefing on the evolution of financial markets as real-world assets move on-chain.

The publication focuses on the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, with particular emphasis on tokenized securities, tokenized funds, and real-world asset (RWA) markets. Our goal is to help institutional professionals understand how capital markets are gradually incorporating programmable, blockchain-based infrastructure.

What We Cover

Block & Bond tracks the institutional adoption of blockchain across global financial markets. Core coverage areas include:

  • Tokenized bonds, funds, and structured products
  • Blockchain-based settlement and atomic delivery-versus-payment (DvP)
  • Institutional blockchain networks and market infrastructure
  • Tokenized deposits and wholesale CBDC initiatives
  • Regulatory developments affecting digital securities
  • Institutional DeFi and capital-markets applications

The focus is not on retail crypto markets or speculative tokens. Instead, Block & Bond examines how regulated financial assets — such as Treasuries, money-market funds, and corporate bonds — are increasingly represented on blockchain rails.

Who It’s For

Block & Bond is written for professionals across global capital markets, including:

  • Asset managers and hedge funds
  • Banks and broker-dealers
  • Fintech and market-infrastructure firms
  • Regulators and policymakers
  • Institutional investors and treasury teams

If you work in fixed income, FX, derivatives, or digital-asset infrastructure, this briefing provides a concise daily view of developments shaping tokenized finance.

Our Approach

We prioritize credible institutional sources and focus on developments with real implications for financial markets. Our editorial philosophy is that tokenization represents an evolution of market infrastructure, not a replacement of the financial system.

As programmable assets and blockchain settlement mature, Block & Bond aims to provide clear signal in a rapidly developing market.
