🎬 BlackRock-Powered Investment Portfolios Come Onchain
What comes after tokenized Treasuries, stocks, and ETFs? Entire investment portfolios brought onchain as single transferable tokens.
John Hoffman, Head of Product Portfolios at Ondo Finance, joins Jackson Hinkle of TheStreet Roundtable to discuss the emergence of tokenized portfolios, including strategies powered by BlackRock and designed by Ondo.

➤ Ondo Finance has launched tokenized investment portfolios, some of which are powered by BlackRock, aiming to bring diversified baskets of assets on-chain.
