Tokenized U.S. Treasuries reach $14B TVL across blockchains by April 2026, driven by expanding wallet inflows; Ethereum remains the main hub, led by Franklin Templeton’s Benji and other growing T-bill tokens. Abstract: Tokenized U.S. Treasuries total value locked rose to a record $14 billion across multiple blockchains as of April 2026, led by active wallet inflows and sustained institutional interest despite DeFi headwinds. Ethereum remains the dominant platform, with Franklin Templeton’s Benji fund driving notable growth, and several other tokenized T-bill products expanding on Ethereum and Sei. About 33.9k wallets hold these assets, mainly used as collateral in DeFi protocols. At current yields around 3.68%, issuers could earn roughly $515 million annually, signaling continued appetite for conservative DeFi instruments.

ARK Invest Digital Asset Research Director Lorenzo Valente pointed out that the importance of Elon Musk recruiting former crypto wallet founder Benji Taylor as the chief designer for the X platform may be underestimated. His background could bring new directions for X, including wallets and on-chain payments.

In March 2026, Elon Musk's social platform X appointed Benji Taylor as the new Head of Design. The market widely believes this move will promote the integration of crypto features and upgrade the payment system on X. Taylor's extensive experience suggests that X will accelerate its digital asset strategy. Currently, X's payment product "X Money" is in the testing phase and may soon incorporate crypto wallets and stablecoin payments. This change could reshape the boundaries between Web2 and Web3.
