Mirae Asset Securities and New York-based blockchain firm Polygon Labs join forces to pioneer tokenized securities in Korea and worldwide. This strategic collaboration leverages Polygon's advanced Ethereum scaling solution and solidifies Mirae Asset's role in global digital asset innovation.
Polygon Labs, known for its expertise in building blockchain scaling infrastructure, has developed Polygon, a layer-2 Ethereum scaling solution that significantly improves transaction efficiency on the Ethereum network.
Polygon Labs will be a technical adviser for the Mirae Asset Security Token Working Group as part of the collaboration. Mirae Asset joins the ranks of asset managers leveraging Polygon's platform to offer tokenized securities.
Tokenization, converting tangible assets into digital tokens on a blockchain, is gaining momentum globally. Notable firms such as Franklin Templeton and Hamilton Lane have already initiated tokenized projects on Polygon.
The partnership with Polygon Labs allows Mirae Asset to position itself as a global leader in tokenized securities. Ahn In-sung, head of Mirae Asset's digital assets division, expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating, "Through technical collaboration with Polygon Labs, Mirae Asset Securities aims to establish global leadership in tokenized securities."
The Mirae Asset Security Token Working Group, which includes companies like Linger Studio and Coin Plug, will operate independently from the Next Finance Initiative (NFI), another consortium focused on security tokens consisting of Mirae Asset, Hana Financial Group, and SK Telecom Co.
The collaboration between Mirae Asset Securities and Polygon Labs marks a significant milestone in adopting blockchain technology in the financial industry. With the technical expertise of Polygon Labs and the financial prowess of Mirae Asset Securities, the partnership is expected to facilitate greater accessibility and efficiency for market participants.
As tokenization continues to gain traction, the global ecosystem for digital assets is undergoing a transformative shift, opening up new possibilities for investors and businesses alike. The partnership between Mirae Asset Securities and Polygon Labs signals a commitment to driving innovation and becoming leaders in the tokenized securities space.
