Our monthly recap offers a regular cadence of updates regarding our contributions to the Enterprise Blockchain community. These updates showcase QualitaX's dedication to advancing blockchain adoption in financial services. Whether collaborating on open standards, releasing open-source tools, or educating through ecosystem partnerships, we are committed to supporting the digital transformation of traditional finance.
Digital Assets
📢 We released our latest deep dive, 'ERC-1400: Enabling Secure and Compliance Digital Securities'.
With the current forecast of tokenized digital securities at $4 trillion to $6 trillion by 2030, the tokenization of financial instruments opens up new opportunities to enhance market efficiency, increase liquidity, and expand investment possibilities.
The ERC-1400 report is a deep dive into ERC-1400, which is used for tokenizing financial instruments such as equity, private credit, treasuries, and real estate funds in a compliant and regulated manner on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks.
