Eddid Securities and Futures, a subsidiary of Eddid Financial, has formed a strategic partnership with fintech infrastructure provider Asseto Fintech Limited to accelerate global asset tokenisation, with a focus on Asia and the Middle East.
The alliance combines Asseto’s end-to-end tokenisation technology with Eddid Financial’s regulated market operations to support the compliant issuance, trading, and liquidity provision of tokenised real-world assets across multiple jurisdictions.
Key markets include Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Middle East, where the firms intend to roll out tokenised products within existing regulatory frameworks. Eddid Financial will act as a liquidity provider, offering trading in tokenised assets settled in USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins recognised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
Partnership framework and product scope
Under the agreement, Eddid and Asseto will:
- jointly identify high-quality underlying assets for tokenisation
- conduct feasibility studies and detailed risk assessments
- structure tokenised products for issuance in regulated markets
The initiative aims to improve issuance efficiency while aligning with local compliance standards. Tokenised products built on Asseto’s infrastructure may be distributed through both system interfaces and traditional channels used in existing financial markets.
Liquidity provision and use of stablecoins
To address one of the main barriers to adoption of tokenised assets, Eddid Financial plans to:
- operate as a liquidity provider for tokenised products
- support buying and selling within a regulated framework
- facilitate settlement using USDT, USDC, and HKMA-recognised stablecoins
This approach is designed to improve price discovery and ensure consistent two-way trading, a recurring weakness in earlier digital asset launches.
The stablecoin component aligns with Hong Kong’s evolving regulatory regime, under which licensed issuers must maintain 100% backing in high-quality liquid reserves and segregate client assets from operational funds. This is intended to create a transparent, regulated medium of exchange for tokenised instruments.
Technology collaboration and blockchain connectivity
Beyond product issuance, the two firms will:
- co-develop new blockchain use cases and on-chain applications
- work on technical enhancements to interconnect their blockchain ecosystems
- build an integrated network to support cross-platform exchange and scalability
The goal is to create shared infrastructure that allows tokenised assets to move across different platforms, improving interoperability and market depth.
Track record of Eddid Financial
Eddid Financial has already demonstrated capabilities in digital asset structuring, having coordinated Hong Kong’s first silver real-world asset tokenisation project.
The group holds multiple virtual asset-related licences and conducts regulated activities across Hong Kong, the United States, and Singapore. Its licensed subsidiaries provide trading and asset management services, giving the firm an existing institutional client base and operational experience in both traditional and virtual asset markets.
Asseto’s tokenisation experience
Asseto provides lifecycle tokenisation solutions, including:
- legal structuring of tokenised products
- smart contract development and deployment
- oracle integration for data feeds
- connectivity into decentralised finance (defi) ecosystems
The firm has launched 13 tokenised products across eight public blockchains, with a combined value close to US$500 million, and has completed Hong Kong’s first real estate and private equity tokenisation projects.
Industry backdrop and market potential
The partnership comes as the tokenised asset market, currently valued at more than US$26.4 billion in on-chain assets, undergoes structural change.
Projections from Boston Consulting Group suggest tokenised assets could represent a US$16 trillion opportunity by 2030, as a portion of global real assets is converted into programmable instruments on blockchain networks.
The collaboration between Eddid and Asseto is positioned less as a speculative play and more as a build-out of core market infrastructure. This mirrors a wider trend in which nearly three-quarters of global asset managers are reported to have initiated their own tokenisation projects, preparing for a shift in how assets are issued, managed, and distributed.
Market focus and early signals to watch
For market participants tracking this development, several aspects will be important:
- type of underlying assets: The first assets brought on-chain — particularly traditionally illiquid ones such as private equity and real estate — will shape perceived risk and return profiles. Tokenisation could enable 24/7 trading and fractional ownership, changing how these markets function.
- liquidity conditions: Early trading data, including order book depth and bid-ask spreads, will signal how quickly tokenised products gain traction. Thin liquidity would point to a cautious start, while tighter spreads and larger volumes would indicate stronger institutional engagement.
- institutional appetite: A recent survey shows that 63% of large institutions are already interested in allocating to tokenised assets, suggesting demand for compliant and secure structures once they are available at scale.
Cross-border expansion and interoperability
The planned expansion into Singapore and markets in the Middle East underlines an ambition to build a cross-border network for tokenised real-world assets.
Key challenges and focus areas include:
- navigating different regulatory regimes and licensing requirements
- aligning standards for asset custody, disclosure, and settlement
- developing interoperability standards so that tokenised assets can move efficiently between blockchain ecosystems
The effectiveness of these interoperability efforts will largely determine how seamlessly tokenised products can trade across jurisdictions and platforms.
Outlook
Through their alliance, Eddid Financial and Asseto aim to advance compliant digital asset issuance and accelerate institutional adoption of tokenised real-world assets at both regional and global levels.
If the partnership delivers on its plans for liquidity provision, regulatory alignment, and cross-chain connectivity, it could become a reference model for how tokenisation shifts from isolated pilot projects to scalable, integrated market infrastructure.
