Global Settlement facilitated a $75 million acquisition of an oil and gas facility in Latin America using stablecoins and tokenized debt and equity for Feniix Energy. The deal marks the first fully tokenized capital stack used for acquiring operational real estate tied to commodity production.

Institutions are increasingly turning to tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) like bonds and funds using blockchain technology. The market for tokenized RWA could grow to trillions of dollars in the next few years, with projections ranging from $2 trillion to $18 billion by 2030.

The acquisition deal is seen as a transformation of the financial landscape in energy infrastructure by integrating blockchain technology, providing efficiency, security, and transparency. Global Settlement’s GSX Protocol facilitated stablecoin flows and streamlined the cross-border settlement process across Latin American countries.

Tokenization not only reduces settlement times but also unlocks new ways to raise funds for commodity-related investments in emerging markets. This creates opportunities for growth in markets that lack access to traditional financial services, allowing for efficient capital flows in the region.

Global Settlement views the acquisition as a test of its capabilities and plans to replicate the success in future deals. The firm aims to quantify the benefits of tokenization for issuers and family offices while expanding its M&A transactions using blockchain technology.
