Ep. 689 Tokenization & How Institutions are Looking at Altcoins with Superstate's Jim Hiltner

In this episode, Bryce and Brendan interview Jim Hiltner of SuperState, who explains how tokenization is redefining finance by merging traditional markets with blockchain infrastructure. He discusses the success of SuperState’s $1.5B in AUM across its tokenized funds and how institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity are beginning to integrate similar technology. The conversation covers macroeconomic uncertainty, the U.S.–China trade tensions, and why altcoins are lagging behind major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hiltner concludes that tokenization isn’t killing crypto’s revolutionary spirit—it’s empowering individuals to control their assets 24/7 while preparing traditional finance for an on-chain future.
