The Tokenized Asset Coalition has launched the Global Access Protocol, a framework created to integrate tokenized securities into decentralized finance platforms. The initiative follows a year of development and collaborative meetings with federal financial regulators.
Why it matters
By facilitating interoperability for tokenized assets, the protocol aims to bridge the gap between traditional securities and decentralized finance. This effort seeks to standardize how these assets operate across varied blockchain ecosystems.
The Tokenized Asset Coalition added 12 new members to the organization, expanding the group that was originally founded by Coinbase, Circle, and Aave.
