S&P Dow Jones Indices is pursuing partnerships to list tokenized benchmark indices, aiming for secure, transparent, and regulation-compliant infrastructure that extends blockchain-based products to more investors.
S&P Dow Jones Indices is in discussions with major exchanges, custodians, and DeFi protocols to license and list tokenized versions of its benchmark indices. U.S. equities director Stephanie Rowton said the plan focuses on building secure, transparent, and regulation-compliant infrastructure to support trading and accessibility of tokenized S&P products. This initiative follows its earlier collaboration with Centrifuge to launch programmable index-tracking funds via smart contracts and reflects rising institutional demand for tokenized financial products.
