Securitize partners with Zero Hash to leverage fiat and USDC funding rails for tokenized assets

CHICAGO, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Securitize, the leader in the tokenization of real world assets, has selected Zero Hash, the foremost crypto and stablecoin infrastructure platform, to power fiat and USDC funding rails for deposit and withdrawals into Securitize’s cash accounts, which enable its funding portal and blockchain-based Alternative Trading System (ATS).

Securitize has leveraged Zero Hash’s fiat and USDC rails to enable investors to seamlessly on and off-ramp into tokenized assets in Securitize’s primary and secondary market. Zero Hash’s full stack API and SDK infrastructure provides a compliant bridge for investors to fund or withdraw both USD via ACH and wires as well as USDC through on-chain transfers. USDC on and off ramping provides the real-time and 24/7/365 funding mechanism to interact with tokenized assets.

Founded in 2017, Securitize began issuing digital asset securities through its SEC-registered transfer agent. In 2021, the company launched Securitize Markets to provide investors access to invest in and trade a broad range of alternative assets within a single regulated digital marketplace. In 2022, Securitize partnered with top-tier institutional asset managers to enable investors, both individual and institutional, to participate in private capital market opportunities through a fully digital environment. Citi Group’s 2023 report estimates that tokenized real-world assets could be worth upwards of $10 trillion by 2030.

“Tokenization will disrupt the infrastructure of capital markets with its ability to provide the decentralized transfer of value, instantaneous settlement, and seamless fractionalization of assets,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “Zero Hash provides the turnkey funding and withdrawal payment mechanisms for our customers to invest in tokenized assets. We are pleased to partner with Zero Hash who is a leading global crypto and stablecoin infrastructure provider with a proven track record since their founding in 2017.”

“We are delighted to be chosen as the payments infrastructure for Securitize, one of the pioneers in the tokenization of real-world assets,” said Edward Woodford, Founder and CEO of Zero Hash. “Our philosophy at Zero Hash is that crypto is a technology, as opposed to an asset. Tokenization is an example of this technology’s disruptive potential, and we are pleased to provide the bridge to fiat and stablecoin payments.”
