Carlos Domingo is the CEO and founder of Securitize. He believes that the public blockchain will be essential for a flourishing tokenized securities eco-system.
Securitize’s CEO said that permissionless blockchains help unlock the potential of blockchain and crypto technology. The CEO of Securitize added:
The partnership between Wormhole and us will enable transactions that are sub-seconds, or even sub-pennies, moving us to a more cross-chain environment. This is yet another demonstration of the new uses cases public blockchains can enable.
Adoption of Real-World Assets
Securitize will collaborate with Wormhole Foundation.
This move will allow the two platforms to continue growing and gaining adoption in the real-world assets (RWAs) tokenization industry.
Securitize’s bridge and multi-chain application technology will be used to push forward this project.
In a press release, these firms stated that it’s an important milestone, as more institutions in the RWA sector will benefit from interoperability across chains, bringing traditional finance and decentralized financing together.
Securitize’s capabilities for tokenizing assets and Wornhole’s integration of the messaging protocol will allow asset issuers to perform advanced token transfers between blockchains.
Developers and users can also move tokenized assets with ease, as the partnership provides them new liquidity and flexibility.
Robinson Burkey, Wormhole Foundation’s co-founder and chief commercial officer (CCO), praised the partnership for “enabling a more comprehensive asset management experience” for users.
Burkey said that the demand from institutional investors will also mean tokenization plays a major role in helping TradFi transition to DeFi.
Securitize gains traction with BlackRock
In collaboration with asset managers such as BlackRock, KKR and Hamilton Lane, Securitize helped to bring on-chain major tokenized funds.

BUIDL is the most tokenized US Treasury asset according to data from rwa.xyz. It has a market capitalization of $521,000,000.
Wormhole, on the other hand, offers an interoperability blockchain network which supports DeFi as well as NFTs and many more use cases. Circle, Uniswap, and AMD are among the partners.
