The S&P DOW Jones (S&P DJI) indices are in discussion with major exchanges, guards and protocols DEFI for license and listing the tokenized versions of her references, according to Stephanie Rowton, director of American actions of the company.
Rowton told Cointtelegraph that the index supplier adopts a “strategic approach” to ensure that S & P token products are only launched on platforms that meet high standards of transparency, security and regulatory compliance.
“By establishing these types of relationships, we hope that we will be able to work together to participate in a robust infrastructure that supports trading and accessibility of token versions of our clues, ultimately improving the experience of investors,” she said.
The thrust in the blockchain comes as the institutional interest of tokenized financial products accelerates. S&P DJI has entered space earlier this year by authorizing the S&P 500 for a tokenization initiative with centrifuge, which uses official data to provide programmable indices monitoring via smart contracts.
Rowton said that this decision had already generated “an increase in curiosity and commitment” both traditional finances (tradfi) and decentralized financial market (DEFI). “This interest reflects a broader market trend, as investors are increasingly looking for innovative and effective means of interacting with established financial products,” she added.

BRIDGING TRADFI and DEFI
Rowton said blockchain technology had a “processing potential” on the financial markets. “As the demand for digital assets increases, tokenization could play a crucial role in filling the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance,” noted Rowton.
She added that the tokenization strategy of the S&P DJI aligns the company’s mission to meet the needs of “a new generation of investors who are looking for innovative means to engage with established references”.
The interest in tokenized index products is the strongest among digital native investors, including participants in crypto and blockchain, as well as institutions seeking to diversify portfolios. At the regional level, Europe, Asia and Latam lead the charge.
Rowton also revealed that the company assesses tokenize opportunities from other flagship landmarks such as Industrial Dow Jones and thematic indices. “We recognize that various investor segments can have variable interests in specific indices, and we will aim to meet the demand of the market accordingly,” she said.

2030 Vision of tokenized indexes
Rowton said that token indices would be “essential” in the global markets by 2030, improving access and liquidity of the cross -border market. Technology could reduce traditional investment barriers, while allowing new strategies that exploit DEFI features such as fractional property and automated trading.
However, she rejected the idea that tokenization threatens the traditional license activity of S&P DJI. Instead, she described it as “complementary innovation” which widens commercial opportunities and opens up the investment of the index to new audiences without compromising the integrity of benchmarks.
Rowton’s comments come as token actions continue to grow, market capitalization for blockchain -based financial products reaching $ 370 million by the end of July.
