This opens new possibilities for investors to manage and transfer tokenized assets across a wider range of compatible networks, representing a significant improvement in terms of accessibility and diversification.
According to Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize, interoperability on public blockchains is crucial to unlocking the true potential of this technology, allowing transactions to be completed quickly and efficiently.
Securitize Will Offer Customized Smart Contracts
Domingo also noted that the collaboration with Wormhole will accelerate institutional adoption by offering more agile and cost-effective asset transfer solutions. The customized smart contracts that Securitize will use in this integration will be tailored to the specific needs of each asset manager, ensuring compliance with current regulations and strengthening trust in digital transactions.
Interoperability is one of the biggest challenges in the DeFi world, and this partnership with Wormhole seeks to eliminate the barriers that have made it difficult to move assets between different blockchains.
Wormhole, a platform that has facilitated over a billion cross-chain messages to date, will offer its secure and open-source messaging protocol to power these transactions. According to Robinson Burkey, co-founder of the Wormhole Foundation, this collaboration will not only solidify both companies’ positions but will also mark a milestone in the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance.
