- DBS expands Ethereum tokenization, lowering investment minimum to $1,000.
- Structured notes trading surpasses $1 billion in 2025.
- Ethereum sees rise in non-speculative usage post-rollout.
This move signifies a major shift in financial accessibility, bolstering Ethereum’s role in tokenized assets, with potential implications on stablecoin activity and market dynamics.
DBS Bank, Singapore’s largest financial institution, has officially rolled out tokenized structured notes on the Ethereum blockchain. The distribution is facilitated through digital exchanges including ADDX, DigiFT, and HydraX. DBS Bank’s new Ethereum-based structured notes have been highlighted for their innovative approach.
This rollout allows accredited and institutional investors wider access to advanced financial products. The bank’s digital asset division, active in Project Guardian pilots, leads this initiative.
The move substantially reduces the investment minimum from $100,000 to $1,000, thereby opening opportunities for a broader pool of investors. This strategy highlights the shift in market dynamics.
Structured notes trading at DBS exceeded $1 billion in the first half of 2025. The initiative emphasizes the growing institutional interest in digital asset innovation. “Reducing the minimum investment to $1,000 allows a wider range of investors to engage with structured notes, breaking down previous barriers to entry,” said DBS Bank, Digital Assets Division. DBS Bank explores digital assets and structured notes.
Project Guardian, helmed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, previously explored tokenization through private chains. This shift to public platforms aims to foster transparency and accessibility.
The expansion of Ethereum-based products indicates increased on-chain activity in stablecoins, smart contracts, and collateralized lending. Additionally, ETH usage has climbed as part of this new landscape. This new landscape has also been discussed in the Insights from Coin Law on crypto regulations.
