NEW YORK, NY - tZERO Group, Inc., a provider of blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership with Polymath, the company behind Polymesh, an institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain built for regulated real-world assets (RWAs). The collaboration aims to support issuers seeking to tokenize assets directly on the Polymesh network while leveraging tZERO's regulated broker-dealer and tokenization capabilities.
Under the agreement, Polymath and tZERO will work together to help issuers complete primary offerings on Polymesh through tZERO's tokenization and compliance workflows. Where eligible, these issuers may access secondary trading on tZERO's SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS). This model streamlines issuer onboarding, enhances regulatory confidence, and provides a supported pathway from issuance to lifecycle management. Additionally, tZERO will operate a validator node on Polymesh, underscoring its commitment to the network's governance and security.
Polymesh is designed specifically for regulated financial assets, offering native identity, compliance, confidentiality, and governance frameworks. By pairing Polymath's Layer-1 architecture with tZERO's regulatory and market structure expertise, the partnership provides a solution for real-world tokenization at institutional scale.
Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, stated, "This collaboration between a purpose-engineered RWA blockchain and our regulated technology stack aligns with our strategic pillars to build closer adjacencies with the defi ecosystem and to give issuers clear, compliant, and scalable paths to tokenization." Vincent Kadar, Chief Executive Officer of Polymath, added, "Pairing our purpose-built Layer-1 with tZERO's proven broker-dealer, ATS, and custody infrastructure creates the clearest, most compliant end-to-end pathway for issuers anywhere in the world."
This partnership strengthens the broader RWA ecosystem by aligning Polymath's chain governance with tZERO's regulated stack, enabling a scalable foundation for issuers. For more information about tZERO, visit their website. Additional details about Polymath can be found at Polymath's website.
