Launching a tokenized asset involves decisions across technology, risk, compliance, and operations. Building the underlying infrastructure from scratch adds another layer of complexity.
With OpenAssets, banks can focus on the assets they want to issue and the workflows needed to support them, using a repeatable deployment model within their own AWS environment.

Banks can now deploy OpenAssets tokenization infrastructure in their own @awscloud accounts.
Keys, data, network choice, and brand stay with the bank. OpenAssets provides issuance, compliance, and venue connectivity.

Cybersecurity is facing an unprecedented vulnerability explosion.
2017: 6,500 CVEs.
2026: 84,000 and counting.
A 13X increase in less than a decade.
Human speed defense is no longer enough.

Onchain, an AI agent payment can look no different from a simple script. Before agents move serious money, regulated markets need to know who is responsible for each transaction.
That requires a named owner and a verifiable record, the kind of infrastructure OpenAssets builds for regulated markets.
Surendra Kalidindi retweeted
More than half of trading in tokenized equities takes place outside regular market hours. The demand for 24/7 access is real. The challenge is building markets that are also deep, liquid, and resilient. Learn more in our GFSR chapter on tokenization: imf.org/en/publications/gfsr…

We support the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets and its goal of giving builders a clearer path to raise capital in the U.S. The comment letter we submitted focuses on making these rules work in practice, with recommendations for:
▪️ Clear guidance on tokenized securities and legal ownership records
▪️ Public, machine-readable issuer filing status
▪️ Verifiable onchain data in standardized disclosures
▪️ Structured Form TR filings with clear third-party reliance rules
Regulatory clarity needs to translate into workable processes for issuers, transfer agents, custodians, and trading venues.

Where does the value in tokenization actually sit? Not in putting an asset onchain.
It sits in the infrastructure around it.
The token is only one part of the system.

Broker-dealers are testing AI agents on AML alerts. Regulators are now asking how each agent action gets tracked.
A sign-off only holds up if the record shows what the model proposed and what the person saw before approving it.
In regulated markets, auditability can’t be an afterthought.

Between hitting buy and owning a stock, an order passes through about nine intermediaries.
OpenAssets CEO @gaborgurbacs expects tokenization to cut six or seven of them, now that the @SECGov has opened a limited, five-year path for tokenized stocks.

Foreign central banks sold $55.6B of T-bills in a year, after buying $138.1B the year before.
Stablecoins hold nearly $200B, a new channel for U.S. debt. OpenAssets builds the infrastructure to scale it: every holder verified, every reserve reported.
Surendra Kalidindi retweeted
OpenAssets is collaborating with @SuiFoundation to advance the development of OTAS under @lfdecentralized Trust, extending a neutral framework for identity, compliance, asset representation, and reporting for the Sui ecosystem.
The goal is simple: make tokenized assets easier to verify and move across networks while preserving a trusted record of their ownership, history, and compliance status.

OpenAssets has launched Sentinel, an AI-enabled OpenCompliance platform and the evidence layer for tokenized markets.
Sentinel turns written obligations into machine-readable controls. Every action is written once and can't be edited or deleted afterward, not even by an administrator.
That's what audit-ready compliance should look like for modern financial markets.

On @CNBC’s @ETFEdgeCNBC, @GaborGurbacs discussed how ownership records, settlement and the infrastructure behind capital markets could evolve in what he calls the “post-ETF world.”

Interoperability is more than moving a token between chains.
For institutions, ownership, compliance, data, and settlement need to remain consistent across systems too.
Moving the token is transport. Making the asset work across networks is the infrastructure problem @OpenAssetsInc builds for.
Surendra Kalidindi retweeted
Moving an asset onchain doesn't remove the need for an authoritative record of ownership.
The token and the regulated record are different layers.
OpenAgent connects the transfer-agent function directly to blockchain rails, helping keep ownership records aligned as assets operate onchain.

It’s not “TradFi” or “DeFi” anymore. It’s all just “Fi”. We built the bridge. Big day for market infrastructure players and tokenization! Congrats everyone!

Enterprise tokenization doesn’t have to take years.
Our new guide breaks down how institutions can deploy secure, resilient tokenization infrastructure in @awscloud, from key custody and compliance to multi-region architecture.

The SEC’s Innovation Exemption changes the question from whether tokenized stocks can trade onchain to how these markets can work in practice, with 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement and new models for ownership and custody.
That’s the infrastructure OpenAssets is building for institutional markets.
