Enso launches RWA app and trading for over 500 tokenized assets
Switzerland-based Web3 development platform Enso has launched a real-world asset (RWA) application offering access to more than 500 tokenized assets through integrations with xStocks, Ondo Finance and Anchorage Digital's Porto.
Through Enso's execution layer, users can access tokenized stocks, ETFs, Treasurys, commodities and stablecoins. Ondo will provide tokenized equities, treasury products and capital markets infrastructure, while xStocks will enable access to tokenized equities and ETFs, according to a Monday announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
Available assets include major US companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla and SpaceX.
Enso said bringing these assets under a unified distribution and execution layer would simplify access to tokenized assets across multiple venues and improve the user experience.
The launch adds Enso to a growing field of European crypto firms expanding into tokenized traditional assets. Earlier this year, Austria-based Bitpanda expanded its offering to roughly 10,000 stocks and ETFs, while a number of European digital asset firms have moved to capitalize on growing demand for tokenized securities.

Tokenized US equities have attracted significant demand from investors outside the US, particularly in Europe, Enso co-founder and CEO Connor Howe told Cointelegraph:
The demand concentrates in two places: tokenized access to US markets, with the around-the-clock trading traditional venues can't match, and yield-bearing dollar assets.”
Tokenized asset holders rise 13% amid growing demand
The launch comes amid growing demand for tokenized assets. The number of tokenized asset holders rose 13.4% over the past 30 days to 930,612, according to data from RWA.xyz. The total value of tokenized assets, however, fell 0.9% during the same period.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.
