Tokenisation, or the use of blockchain technology to create tokens backed by assets, is rapidly growing, with the Boston Consulting Group forecasting that asset tokenisation as a business opportunity will grow 50 times to US$16 trillion in 2030.

BlackRock launched its first digital-assets fund, the blockchain and tech fund, in April.
