BeInCrypto adds 15 institutional Digital-Asset Products

BeInCrypto released the Institutional 100 Best Digital Asset Product long list for 2026, naming 15 institutional products. A shortlist will be published in May 2026 and the category winner will be announced at the Proof of Talk conference in Paris on June 2–3, 2026.

The list is part of the Institutional 100 program and sits under Pillar 3: Access to Digital Assets. More than 30 firms were screened for this category and 15 products advanced. Entries are judged on the product itself and are listed alphabetically; they are not ranked.

BeInCrypto evaluated entries under Track A, which allocates 50% of the score to quantitative data and 50% to an Expert Council. Assessment criteria included assets under management and net flows, product structure, regulatory licensure, multi-jurisdiction footprint, on-chain reach for tokenized products, fee structure, distribution channels, concentration of institutional holders and an innovation signal. Data verification drew on SEC EDGAR, ETF flow trackers, regulators’ registers including the SFC and VARA, audited reports, ratings agencies and private markets databases.

The long list includes traditional managers adapting tokenization and crypto-native firms. BlackRock appears with IBIT and BUIDL; IBIT recorded rapid ETF inflows and BUIDL expanded across multiple blockchains. Fidelity appears with FBTC and FETH, which pair spot ETFs with Fidelity Digital Assets custody. Franklin Templeton’s BENJI/FOBXX tokenized money-market fund was the first U.S.-registered fund to use public blockchain record-keeping. Hashnote and Circle’s USYC is listed as the largest tokenized money-market fund by assets under management and integrates USDC for continuous collateral movement.

Janus Henderson’s JTRSY received a rated tokenized fund designation. OpenEden’s TBILLS is listed as a tokenized U.S. Treasury-bill product carrying dual Moody’s and S&P investment-grade ratings. Superstate’s USTB and USCC and Ondo Finance’s tokenized treasuries and yield products are on the list; Ondo’s SEC investigation closed without charges in late 2025. Apollo Global Management’s ACRED tokenizes a diversified credit fund across six blockchains. KKR’s SKHC represents a tokenized private equity fund on Avalanche. Hamilton Lane’s SCOPE and related feeder structures aim to lower minimums for secondary private market access.

Backed Finance’s xStocks and bCSPX tokenize equities and bond wrappers. Bitwise appears with BITB and BSOL spot and staking ETPs. OSL’s Tokenworks provides Hong Kong ETF servicing and tokenization infrastructure. T. Rowe Price’s TKNZ has filed an S-1 for an active crypto ETF with Anchorage Digital Bank named as custodian.

The long list will be narrowed by expert scoring and data review ahead of the May shortlist and the June winner announcement in Paris.
