Ah, welcome, brave adventurer of the digital realms! Gather ’round, for there’s news worth your ear (and possibly a snack). Securitize, that intrepid tokenization platform seeking to transform mere ‘real-world’ assets into something resembling digital gold, has decided to team up with the giant-toting friends, BlackRock and Hamilton Lane. Quite the trio, wouldn’t you say? Like the Three Musketeers, but with spreadsheets instead of swords.
In a dazzling display of virtual bumbling, Securitize has integrated the interoperability protocol known as Wormhole (and no, it’s not a new flavor of energy drink). This clever little worm is set to make cross-chain support easier than finding a cockroach in a well-lit pub. Yes, dear reader, you can now ferry funds tokenized on the platform across various sands—and by sands, I mean chains—like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and, of course, that sprightly one, Polygon. Just imagine all those little tokens waving each other off on their grand adventure!
Now, this Wormhole has proven itself to be a bit of a heavyweight champ in the cross-chain arena, accumulating a staggering $55 billion in, shall we say, digital horse-trading? With it, Securitize can sprinkle a bit of interoperability magic over the tokenized assets of its illustrious partners, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and the not-so-shabby KKR—because why not have a soirée of financial titans?
Our dashing co-founder and chief executive officer, Carlos Domingo (it’s not quite a knightly title, but it’ll do), declared:
“This enables our clients’ tokenized assets, like BlackRock’s BUIDL, to embark on a journey across new networks, expanding access and liquidity faster than a cat can knock over a glass of water.”
In case you thought this was a one-off affair, hold your horses! This partnership comes after an earlier dalliance with Wormhole for a bit of cross-chain messaging. Yes, it takes two (or three—who’s counting?), and in September, Securitize told the world that it would harness the Wormhole’s wizardry to bring interoperability to the asset managers. The financial chessboard just got a lot more interesting, folks!
And if you’re wondering what the rest of the digital world feels about Wormhole, let’s just say it’s a bit like that shiny new club that everybody wants to join. Various protocols are getting in on the action, like stablecoin issuers Agora and Transfero, restaking bandits Nuffle Labs, and the decentralised financial wizardry known as Infinex. Our pal Flow Traders has also decided to have a go at multi-chain token swaps. Even large enterprises like Google Cloud and Circle are tumbling into the wormhole party! What a time to be alive!
