Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC) announced the appointment of its official Board of Directors, welcomed a new cohort of members, and launched the Research Hub, a library of content and news insights from industry leaders, further strengthening its mission to champion the adoption of public blockchains and asset tokenization.

The newly appointed Board of Directors includes industry leaders who will guide the strategic direction of the Coalition: Adam Lawrence, CEO of RWA.xyz; Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge; Colin Cunningham, Head of Business Development at Chainlink; Gurvinder Lawrence–Sandhu, Head of Trading Ops at Solstice Labs; and Johnny Reinsch, former Co-Founder and CEO at Tradable and current Executive Director of the TAC. This leadership team brings diverse expertise across traditional finance, blockchain technology, and regulatory frameworks to advance the Coalition's goal of transforming how capital is formed, invested, and managed onchain.

"We're thrilled to formalize our governance structure with this exceptional Board of Directors," said Colin Cunningham. "Each director brings unique insights that will be instrumental in driving our mission forward during this critical growth phase for tokenized assets."

In addition to establishing its governance structure, the TAC continues to expand its membership with a new cohort of 24 organizations selected from a competitive pool of applicants. The newest members include Fidelity Investments, DRW, S&P Dow Jones Indices, Wormhole, The Stellar Development Foundation, ZKsync, MANTRA, Gauntlet, Agora, Cap, Keyring Network, Utila, Four Pillars, Magna, Polymesh, Saudi Arabia AI and Blockchain (SAAIBC), COTI, BluPrynt, Surus, Solstice, Particula, KINETK, Multiliquid and Fairmint. These organizations add to the already impressive membership base of organizations across venture capital, financial services, DeFi, asset management, and financial technology and further diversify the TAC's expertise and reach. The TAC has also expanded its media presence by adding Media Partners, including the RWA Summit, Stablecon, Rebank, the Stablecoin Standard and Yaru Media.

The steady growth in membership reflects the increasing recognition of tokenization's transformative potential across the financial landscape. Recent industry forecasts from major institutions predict the tokenized assets market to reach between $2 trillion and $30 trillion in the next decade, with current tokenized assets (excluding stablecoins) representing nearly $15 billion across 150+ issuers on 20+ public blockchains.

Each TAC member contributes a unique perspective on the business, policy, or technology behind enabling tokenization at scale. With this expanded membership and formal leadership structure, the TAC is positioned to accelerate its work in addressing inefficiencies in current financial infrastructure and building the onchain systems of tomorrow.

“Tokenization is no longer a thought experiment, it’s a restructuring of market infrastructure in real time. At the TAC, we’re not just observing the shift, we’re shaping it, through collaboration, standards, and execution” said TAC board member, Gurvinder Lawrence, Sandhu.

The TAC invites all relevant organizations to apply to become part of the coalition and contribute to the transformation of the financial landscape. Through collective efforts, a new era of efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in global finance can emerge. The TAC member application is available here.

Introducing TAC’s Research Hub

The TAC is pleased to introduce its Research Hub, a compilation of expert perspectives from TAC members on a range of topics across tokenization. Expert Insights are delivered via exclusive interviews with TAC members, “The Progress Bar,” a weekly newsletter with the week’s highlights and key metrics, and more. The goal of the Research Hub is to connect would-be adopters of tokenized assets with the exact person or perspective they need to join the movement.

"As tokenization becomes a mainstream term, cutting through the noise can be tough," said Adam Lawrence. "With the TAC’s Research Hub, we're bringing clarity, structure, and raw facts to help everyone stay informed. Without the hype."
