Ryan Horns Joins Tokenization Project as Advisor

Hilbert Group has selected Ryan Horn, a former Binance dealmaker, to join its advisory board in support of the Syntetika launch, an on-chain platform for tokenized assets and funds. Horn, very well known for securing high-profile partnerships during his time at Binance, will unite tokenized economies under tangible outcomes, the Hilbert Group CEO said in a press interview when asked about his role.

The publicly listed asset manager focuses on crypto investment products for businesses and professional investors. It uses a traditional setup with legal oversight and fund governance, applied to digital assets through trading strategies.

Its upcoming platform, Syntetika, will let users trade tokenized funds under legal supervision, use Galatica’s privacy tech to verify identities without revealing personal details, and give investors tokenized access to Hilbert Group’s strategies.

Tokenized Assets Link Traditional Finance and Crypto

Crypto-native firms and traditional finance companies are intersecting each other’s markets through the tokenization of bonds and stocks, as regulatory policies in the U.S. and Europe provide a clearer understanding of digital asset markets.

On the TradFi side, Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon revealed plans in July to offer corporate clients tokenized money market funds with blockchain-based ownership tracking and daily settlement. 

To expand tokenized access in the U.S. and EU, French FinTech Spiko raised $22 million during the same month, while eToro announced it will launch tokenized versions of 100 popular U.S. stocks as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.

On the crypto side, an Arbitrum-based blockchain platform was also launched in June 2025 by Robinhood to offer U.S. stocks and ETFs to European investors. However, the move faced legal issues in Europe over ownership rights.

That same month, Coinbase filed with the U.S. for approval to provide tokenized stock trading that would bring stocks on the blockchain under regulatory policies. To enable blockchain-based access to blue-chip equities, more than 60 tokenized U.S. stocks became available via Backed Finance’s xStocks platform on Kraken and Bybit.
