I'm excited to announce the launch of our new TAC Member Spotlight series, an initiative I've been eager to share since taking the helm as Executive Director. With 44+ member organizations representing over $100 billion in market cap, the Tokenized Asset Coalition sits at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain innovation. Now, we're going deeper.

Here's the premise: not every asset should be tokenized. Headlines would have you believe trillions of dollars are migrating on-chain via tokenization but they rarely address which assets truly benefit from it. In reality, oftentimes tokenizing an asset just adds complexity, cost or risk without any upside.

My equally strong belief is that, for the right assets at the right time, tokenization represents a profound upgrade to the global financial system. The question isn't whether tokenization works, it's when and how it works best.

That's exactly what this series aims to uncover.

Two Fundamental Questions

Each Deep Dive report will address two critical questions with our TAC members:

1. Does it make sense to tokenize this offering? We'll cut through the hype and assess whether blockchain adds genuine value for this specific asset class.
2. How does it work? We'll peek behind the curtain to understand the tokenization workflow. How do you get from on-chain transactions to reserves sitting somewhere? How do those reserves move? What are the mechanics that make it all function?

The Entire Risk Spectrum

The beauty of our TAC membership is its diversity. Our members span the entire risk curve, from stablecoins on the far left to more speculative assets on the right. If it's tokenizable, we'll cover it.

Discovering Best Practices

This initiative isn't just about showcasing our amazing TAC members (though that's certainly part of it). It's about identifying centers of excellence that should become industry standards. What patterns emerge as best practices? Where do gaps exist? How can we collectively address those gaps?

The goal is to move beyond buzzwords and into tangible knowledge that equips the next wave of builders with real-world insights. Think of it like an ongoing, practical companion to our seminal publication "The Spectrum of Asset Tokenization" but with more detail at the individual project level.

First up: Gold

We’re delighted to unveil our first TAC Member Spotlight, which is focused on tokenizing gold and informed by Matrixdock’s XAUm product. Gold is especially relevant these days given overall market volatility and it’s also an asset that most will readily understand. A great candidate for our two pronged inquiry into tokenization.
