RWA Tokenization Company Securitize Selects RedStone Oracles as Its Primary Data Provider

Securitize, a company focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has selected blockchain oracle provider RedStone as its primary data provider.

Securitize, a leading platform for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), has selected RedStone, a premier blockchain oracle provider, as its primary data provider. The partnership aims to enhance the accuracy and accessibility of price feeds for tokenized institutional assets, further integrating RWAs into decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.

Securitize collaborates with major financial institutions including Apollo (NYSE: APO), BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Hamilton Lane (NYSE: HL) and KKR (NYSE: KKR) to facilitate the tokenization of institutional-grade assets. Under this partnership, RedStone will be supplying price feeds for existing and future tokenized products within Securitize’s ecosystem. The assets that will benefit from this integration include the Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund (ACRED), Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE) and the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).

Additionally, RedStone will be providing secure data feeds across both Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and non-EVM chains, supporting the expansion of Securitize in the DeFi sector. Its modular infrastructure is designed to ensure seamless integration with various pricing methodologies tailored to RWA providers. This enhancement is expected to widen the scope of use cases for tokenized assets, including their application in money market exchange platforms and as collateral within DeFi protocols.

“We are excited to partner with RedStone to bring institutional asset price feeds to DeFi and other on-chain applications,” said Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize. “This partnership marks a significant step in our journey to seamlessly connect traditional and Web3 financial institutions.”

“We are pleased to partner with Securitize to accelerate the adoption of its products within DeFi and on-chain financial ecosystems,” added Benoit Brebion, CEO of RedStone. “Our modular framework and technology are well-equipped to support this endeavor.”

The partnership between Securitize and RedStone follows an extensive evaluation process. Together, they aim to expand the integration of tokenized institutional assets into DeFi protocols, ultimately promoting the growth of the broader industry.

The press release also highlights the growing role of RWAs in the blockchain ecosystem. As of July 2024, the global securities market had reached a valuation of $255 trillion, while RWAs are a rapidly expanding segment within the on-chain economy, already exceeding $20 billion in market value. Industry experts suggest that tokenized securities must thrive on public, permissionless blockchains such as Ethereum, which offers the most efficient infrastructure for value transfers and settlements.

By leveraging RedStone’s technology, Securitize aims not only to facilitate on-chain transactions for tokenized securities but also to integrate these assets into existing DeFi frameworks. The company also plans to develop new financial instruments that bridge traditional financial institutions with blockchain-native applications.

RedStone is a key provider of blockchain oracles, delivering cross-chain data feeds that power DeFi applications on Ethereum, Avalanche and Polygon. This collaboration with Securitize represents another step toward increasing blockchain-based financial transparency and efficiency.

Meanwhile, Securitize has been expanding its market presence through strategic funding and partnerships. In May 2024, the company secured $47 million in a funding round led by BlackRock, with participation from Hamilton Lane, ParaFi Capital and Tradeweb Markets. Later, in September 2024, ParaFi Capital joined forces with Securitize to tokenize a portion of its assets, valued at over $1 billion, on the Avalanche blockchain.

This funding round followed an earlier collaboration between BlackRock and Securitize on the launch of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund.

Further solidifying its role in the digital finance sector, Securitize proposed integrating BUIDL as collateral for the Frax USD stablecoin in December 2024. The increasing use of tokenized RWAs such as BUIDL as collateral for stablecoins signals a continuing trend in the industry, reinforcing their role in the evolution of decentralized financial solutions.
