## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Goldman Sachs and Citi Among Banks Said to Commit $270 Million to a Dollar Stablecoin Venture (2026-11-11): Project Faro is part of a wider bank push into dollar tokens and tokenized securities, run through a bank-owned consortium rather than open protocols. That carries incumbent control and counterparty structure into on-chain dollars.
- [confirms] Securitize Buys River One and Robinhood Backs Tokenizing Its Own Shares on the OKX–ICE Platform as Most Companies Opt Out (2026-11-10): Securitize bought River One, and Amundi put a European equity fund share class on Ethereum without publishing who can hold or redeem it. Both keep tokenization growth inside incumbent-controlled wrappers and gated access.
