Institutional finance is converging on Avalanche. Tokenized assets were central to Avalanche’s early institutional story, but the network’s role now reaches well beyond issuance. On a dedicated Avalanche L1, an institution can decide who validates the network and who can transact while keeping sensitive information private. The C-Chain provides an anchor to deep stablecoin liquidity and the rest of DeFi. Progmat completed the migration of its tokenization platform to a dedicated Avalanche L1, where more than $1.2 billion in Japanese tokenized securities are now live. In Europe, Securitize selected Avalanche for its trading and settlement system under the EU DLT Pilot Regime. It also tokenized its own equity on the network, with SECZ now being the largest tokenized stock onchain. Institutions are also using Avalanche to move money across borders. Axiym has settled more than $1.6 billion in payment volume on the network. OpenTrade distributes tokenized yield products through fintechs and exchanges across Latin America and Europe. Its Avalanche-based vaults have grown to more than $190 million in TVL. Avalanche is now being used for much more than issuing tokenized assets.(Delphi Digital)
