Hedera Launches Asset Tokenization Studio to Revolutionize Digital Economy

Share

At an accelerating pace, institutions, developers, and regulatory bodies are exploring the benefits of asset tokenization and the central role it will play in the emerging digital economy. According to a recent EY Parthenon survey, 50% of institutional investors already have an interest in investing in tokenized assets, while 44% of asset managers are preparing to tokenize their own in the coming years. This trend is set to redefine asset management.

When taking into account both institutional and High Net Worth (HNW) individuals, 77% stated that they have already invested in, plan to invest in, or want to learn more about tokenized assets. They cite lower transaction costs, enhanced liquidity, improved performance, and increased transparency enabled by blockchain and distributed ledger technologies as key considerations. Stakeholders at all levels are rapidly realizing the untapped potential of on-chain assets.

To accelerate this global trend towards tokenized assets and the benefits they stand to bring, the launch of the Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio has been announced here. This open-source, end-to-end toolkit facilitates the configuration, issuance, and management of tokenized bonds and equities on the Hedera network. Led by Hedera ecosystem partners — including The HBAR Foundation, Hashgraph, RedSwan CRE, and ioBuilders — this joint initiative provides financial institutions, enterprise issuers, and asset tokenization platforms with the testing and development tools they need to efficiently explore the benefits of bringing assets on-chain.

Ed Nwokedi, CEO and Founder of RedSwan CRE, commented on the firm’s plans to double their already sizeable portfolio of $5B in tokenized assets over the coming months. Dr. Sabrina Tachjian, Head of Fintech and Payments at the HBAR Foundation, added that tokenization enables both end users and institutions to capture previously unrealized value within traditional markets. However, it introduces critical considerations related to regulatory compliance, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, and logistical factors associated with managing essential asset details off-chain.

The Asset Tokenization Studio leverages Hedera’s unique network features to address compliance, security, and regulatory requirements needed by users. With native KYC/AML account flags, high customizability, and built-in support for U.S. SEC regulations (D and S), the studio provides users with the programmability and flexibility they need to comply with their specific regulatory needs while ensuring that all asset details are securely managed entirely on-chain.

Carlos Matilla, CEO of ioBuilders, emphasizes the broad applicability of the studio, enabled in part due to its regulatory framework. He noted that the world needs an intuitive, compliant solution to unlock the true value of tokenized assets. For prospective institutions and enterprises exploring the topic, questions regarding the benefits of tokenization are easily addressed. Whether it’s lower operational costs for enterprises, faster settlement times for customers, or increased liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets, the answers are simple and easy to digest.

The question of how to reap the benefits of tokenization in a way that is intuitive, cheap, and compliant is central to the ongoing tokenization of the economy. It is a question that did not have an easy answer until now. Start unlocking the future of tokenized assets with Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio today. Hello Future.
