Proud is an understatement! Yesterday, Wormhole, in partnership with Securitize, hosted Tokenize.nyc! It was a half day event focused on the present and future of tokenization of digital assets. From a personal perspective, I shared the stage with close friends and powerhouses in this space of ours to put into perspective and hone in on the reality of the current administration’s approach to digital assets. We’ve come a long way but there’s still so much more that needs to be done! Rebecca Rettig Amanda Tuminelli | Jake Chervinsky | Yvette Valdez

Wormhole and Securitize just hosted the institutional blockchain event of the year at the The Times Center in New York City. Top leaders and builders across the digital asset industry got together to discuss stable coins, institutional adoption, US regulation, tokenization, and so much more! Thank you to our speakers and partners from Blackrock, Apollo, SEC’s Crypto Task Force, Ethena, Securitize, Agora, Zerohash, M^0, Crucible Ventures and so many more. Personally, I’m so grateful to the wormhole team for putting on what I think is the crypto + institutional event of the year (objectively). Crypto is here to stay, and wormhole is connecting it all together. ACCELERATE.

Wormhole is a messaging network that powers asset flows for all of crypto. Last week, we launched a first of it's kind platform called Wormhole Settlement to further our goal of powering all asset flows between blockchains. You can think about this as a core part of something like VisaNet. It is the plumbing behind you tapping your card at the coffee store that makes sure that payment is accounted for and routed properly across the financial system. As more and more of the traditional financial system comes "onchain", wormhole will be at the center of it.

Institutional-grade assets are choosing Wormhole to go multichain. ✅ BlackRock BUIDL ($11.6 trillion AUM) goes live with Wormhole via Securitize for institutional-grade, multichain fund tokenization ($BUIDL). ✅ Apollo Global ACRED ($730B AUM) selects Wormhole via Securitize for multichain tokenization of its Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund ($ACRED). ✅ Transfero, issuer of BRZ — the largest non-USD stablecoin globally — selected Wormhole’s NTT framework to go natively multichain. ✅ M^0 began integrating Wormhole NTT, taking their treasury-backed stablecoin $M multichain to Arbitrum and Optimism, with Base and Solana coming soon. ✅ Agora, a Dragonfly-backed stablecoin, chose Wormhole to unify $AUSD liquidity seamlessly across Ethereum, Avalanche, Sui, and soon Solana. ✅ Sky Protocol flagship stablecoin, $USDS, the third largest stablecoin by market cap at $7B, expanded to Solana with Wormhole NTT. ✅ Lido, the largest protocol on Ethereum by TVL ($20.7B), took $wstETH natively multichain with Wormhole NTT. Multichain tokenization for Institutions, RWAs, and leading stablecoins is accelerating — powered by Wormhole.

We are thrilled to announce Matthew Pollard, FCA has joined the WF as our new Head of Finance & Treasury. Having previously co-founded the UK's first regulated RWA and tokenized asset platform, Matthew brings a wealth of finance and institutional tokenization knowledge that will drive strategy and adoption for Wormhole.

🇺🇸 The Wormhole Foundation team was on Capitol Hill today meeting with Senate and House teams to discuss digital asset policy, interoperability, and the critical infrastructure Wormhole provides for scaling institutional tokenized assets (RWAs), stablecoins, blockchains, and other digital assets.
