TokenPost reported that tokenized Treasury funds represented $14.69 billion in distributed value on October 16, spanning 117 assets and 86,753 holders. Those figures describe the size and breadth of the tracked market; they do not show how much of that supply is eligible, pledged or readily transferable as institutional collateral.
Operational context comes from an older Nasdaq and ValueExchange survey published on February 20. Nasdaq reported that 70% of respondents experienced settlement matching and delivery issues daily across collateral operations. The survey also found that firms maintained about 7% excess collateral on average as protection against failures. Its sample covered 203 market participants. Nasdaq said 52% expected to manage live tokenized collateral by the end of 2026, which remains a respondent forecast rather than proof that adoption has occurred. The combination highlights a gap between growing tokenized Treasury supply and the operational readiness needed to use digital assets efficiently as collateral.
