CME Group, one of the world’s largest derivative exchange operators, has taken a new step in the financial sector to revolutionize it. With the strategic cooperation with Google Cloud, a pilot application was launched for the Blockchain -based tokecination process of traditional assets. This innovative initiative will be tested in 2026 with the capital market players.
This partnership opens a new page in the digitalization of financial infrastructures, while in the sector, the 7/24 processing age is considered as a harbinger.
A new era begins with Google Cloud Universal Ledger
CME Group integrates the Universal Ledger (GCUL) system developed by Google Cloud and aims to increase efficiency in asset tokens and wholesale payment systems. This infrastructure can provide serious convenience in collateral management, margin calculations, swap processes and commission payments.
CME Group CEO Terry Duffy, said in a statement, “Thanks to this technology, we are one step closer to the vision of making 7 days 24 hours of trading.” Although it has not yet been explained which assets will be token, the expectation is great. In particular, government bonds, stocks and commodity contracts are among the potential candidates.
Google side’s blockchain investments are growing
Google Cloud took the first step into Bloczinciri technology by integrating Bitcoin data into the Bigquery platform in 2018. In 2023, 11 blocks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche and Optimism, were added to Google’s data infrastructure. The company’s investments in this field continue to increase every year.
In addition, Google CEO announced this year that they will allocate a huge budget of $ 75 billion for artificial intelligence investments. Some of this budget is expected to be transferred to projects that support the infrastructure of digital assets.
Tokinization may be the future of global finance
The concept of tokensation is no longer just a technology trend; It becomes a transformation that settles at the center of the global financial system. According to the report published by the World Economic Forum on March 24, only 25 trillion dollars of $ 230 trillion asset volume can be used as collateral. A significant portion of this volume can be included in the financial system thanks to the tokecination.
Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, supports the excitement in this field. In a statement in the past months, the SEC should quickly approve the tokens of securities.
2026 and later: Will the US become a Blockchain base?
Especially during the second presidency of Donald Trump, the US is aimed to be a global center for Blockchain and crypto currencies. SEC’s decision to remove SAB 121 and new arrangements of tokecization, pave the way for this goal.
The Tokey Platform stressed that after these regulations, corporate investors can hide the tokenized securities more safely. The RWA Tokinization market is approaching $ 20 billion except Stablecoin.
