GSR’s Baehr says tokenized fixed income could play key role in institutional collateral
The idea of mass tokenization of equities is "exciting," said Andy Baehr, managing director of asset management at GSR.
Andy Baehr, GSR's Managing Director of Asset Management, discussed tokenized fixed-income products in an interview at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium 2026. He mentioned that tokenizing short-term fixed-income instruments can be used as collateral in futures or OTC trades. Baehr noted that institutional collateral has clear use cases for tokenization, which is not retail-focused but highly scalable.
He also expressed excitement about the potential of mass tokenization of equities, which could enable 24/7 trading on existing platforms. GSR has invested in tokenization firms like Libeara and acquired others such as Autonomous and Architech. The company plans to support liquidity as the market for tokenized equities and related flows grows.
Baehr also highlighted challenges in crypto lending, including counterparty risks and the lack of a clear term structure for interest rates.
