Institutional access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is entering a transformative new era. As a founding member of Union Chain, IXS is advancing its long-standing vision of seamless integration with centralized exchanges (CEXs). This strategic partnership reinforces IXS’s position as the universal RWA tokenization layer, driving the next phase of institutional adoption.
Union Chain connects IXS to over 20 million verified users across a 600-million-person addressable market, creating a globally accessible on-ramp for institutional and retail investors alike. This milestone marks a significant step in IXS’s mission to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling greater accessibility, liquidity, and compliance for institutional investors.
Union Chain is a next-generation RWA Layer 2 blockchain powered by ZKsync technology, designed to seamlessly integrate regulated CEXs with licensed RWA tokenization platforms. This infrastructure facilitates compliant issuance, distribution, and trading of tokenized treasuries, private equity, real estate, and commodities, bridging TradFi capital with blockchain-based liquidity.
As a core contributor within this ecosystem, IXS collaborates with industry leaders such as InvestaX, Coinhako, Indodax, Coins.ph, and Coins.co.th. Through this integration, IXS delivers institutional-grade DEX technology and liquidity solutions, ensuring seamless secondary market trading for RWAs.
The biggest hurdles to institutional adoption of RWAs have been liquidity, compliance, and accessibility. Union Chain’s infrastructure, combined with IXS’s technology, directly addresses the key obstacles preventing institutions from fully embracing tokenized RWAs. Together, we unlock the following:
Expanded Market Access – Union Chain connects IXS to over 20 million verified users across a 600-million-person addressable market, unlocking new capital flows into tokenized RWAs.
Institutional-Grade Liquidity – IXS’s automated market maker (AMM) ensures frictionless trading for tokenized RWAs.
Regulatory Compliance – All participating platforms operate under licensed frameworks, maintaining the highest legal standards.
This advancement is more than just another integration; it is the breakthrough that transforms tokenized RWAs from a niche innovation into a mainstream financial instrument.
