Calastone Integrates Polygon to Tokenize and Distribute Fund Shares
On November 12, 2025, Calastone — a global funds network — said it will utilize Polygon's blockchain to facilitate tokenization and the onchain distribution of fund share classes. The project positions traditional fund infrastructure to take advantage of Layer 2 scalability, lower transaction costs, and cryptographic settlement guarantees, framing the partnership as a practical milestone in the industry’s digital transformation.
The integration could shorten settlement times, reduce operational friction, and improve transparency and interoperability for distributors and investors, though industry adoption will still rely on custodial, regulatory and reconciliation workflows. For crypto markets the deal is a positive signal of TradFi-Web3 convergence and may increase onchain activity for MATIC-linked services. Investors and service providers will be watching whether this model scales beyond pilot programs into broader, cross-border fund distribution.
