As tokenized finance moves from experimentation to infrastructure, data and credibility are becoming just as critical as execution.
RedStone has announced the acquisition of Security Token Market (STM.co) and its flagship TokenizeThis event, marking a major step in RedStone’s push into the U.S. and institutional markets.
The move brings together oracle infrastructure, RWA intelligence, and institutional convening under one roof — positioning RedStone as a full-stack data and distribution layer for tokenized finance.

From Oracle Infrastructure to Institutional RWA Platform
RedStone already sits at the core of onchain finance, securing $6B+ in onchain value across 110 blockchains and ranking among the top three oracle providers globally. Its modular oracle architecture powers yield-bearing stablecoins, RWAs, liquid staking and restaking tokens, and structured onchain products used by both crypto-native and institutional issuers.
By acquiring STM.co, RedStone adds seven years of RWA market intelligence, research, and media coverage — alongside one of the most established institutional event brands in tokenization.
The result is a combined platform designed to serve asset managers, banks, issuers, fintechs, and tokenization platforms that increasingly require transparent, customizable, and institution-ready RWA data.
“We are kicking off 2026 — the year of tokenized finance and DeFi convergence — with a just-on-point expansion. That new onchain economy requires trustworthy data, reliable risk ratings, and infrastructure capable of serving both crypto-native and institutional markets.”
Leadership Continuity and Institutional Focus
As part of the acquisition:
Herwig Konings, Founder and CEO of STM.co, joins RedStone as Advisor and Head of TokenizeThis, continuing to lead and scale the conference globally.
Jason Barraza, COO of STM.co, joins RedStone as Institutional Business Development Lead, spearheading outreach across asset managers, banks, FMIs, and tokenization issuers.
Why STM Matters to RedStone
STM.co has become one of the most trusted sources of insight in tokenized finance, tracking 800+ onchain securities spanning equities, real estate, debt instruments, and fund products — with a combined market cap exceeding $60B.
That intelligence layer complements RedStone’s oracle and ratings solutions, giving institutions a clearer path from offchain assets → onchain representation → reliable pricing and risk data.
“RedStone is the perfect home to accelerate our mission. Together, we can deliver the combined data, research, and events platform the institutional tokenization market has been waiting for.”
TokenizeThis Becomes RedStone’s Institutional Flagship
As part of the acquisition, TokenizeThis will operate as RedStone’s premier institutional conference brand, continuing to convene global banks, asset managers, regulators, blockchain foundations, and infrastructure providers.
Under RedStone’s leadership — and Konings’ continued direction — the conference will expand its role as a hub for institutional education, product launches, and cross-ecosystem collaboration across RWAs and onchain finance.
Further details on upcoming TokenizeThis events are expected soon.
