The Avalanche Foundation has announced a new initiative ‘Avalanche Vista’ to accelerate asset tokenization on Avalanche blockchain. The foundation has allocated a separate $50M fund for this program.
According to the official announcement, the funds will be used to purchase real world assets (RWA) that are minted on Avalanche. The initiative will consider equity, credit, real-estate, commodities, and other blockchain native assets.
“Asset tokenization isn’t just the future of capital markets, it’s a critical driver of the present,” says President of Ava Labs, John Wu, “The groundswell of momentum across institutions building on-chain has been astounding, and the Avalanche Foundation is taking a big leap forward with this initiative.”
By this initiative Avalanche is enabling a financial system that is more accessible and efficient, empowered by its novel consensus and a unique Subnet architecture. Avalanche Foundation is considering this a major milestone in the asset tokenization space.
Earlier, an investment firm in the US, KKR made a tokenized portion of its private equity firm available on Avalanche blockchain.
Avalanche is also becoming a notable ecosystem for asset tokenization following the launch of IntainMARKETS, a marketplace for tokenized asset-backed securities built on Avalanche Evergreen Subnet.
