As accessibility and growth of tokenized assets for institutional investors remains paramount in spurring the mass adoption of digital assets, Securitize has selected Wormhole as its exclusive interoperability platform for its innovation, and industry-leading experience enabling over $55 billion in cross-chain volume since its inception in 2020.
Through its partnership with Securitize, Wormhole will provide investors in its tokenized funds with flexibility in managing and transferring the tokenized asset across various blockchains, bringing enhanced liquidity, scale, and accessibility to the tokenized ecosystem.
