Claims Etherealize is racing to tokenize real‑world assets on Ethereum L1 and then route trading and settlement through customizable L2s; recent market signals like ETH ETFs approved and BlackRock tokenization trigger the window. Tools in use include L1 security, L2 rollups, bridges abstracted at wallet or AI layers, and ZK proofs for institutional privacy. Work includes a grant from the Ethereum Foundation, active regulatory engagement in DC, legal frameworks for compliant on‑chain finance, and prototypes linking custody, KYC and settlement.
