tZERO Group, Inc. has announced a strategic partnership with Polymath to deliver regulated real-world asset tokenization on the Polymesh blockchain. This collaboration brings together Polymath's institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain technology with tZERO's regulated broker-dealer and tokenization capabilities, creating what both companies describe as a comprehensive solution for issuers seeking to tokenize assets directly on the Polymesh network.
The partnership enables issuers to complete primary offerings on Polymesh through tZERO's tokenization and compliance workflows, with potential access to secondary trading on tZERO's SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS). According to the announcement, this combined model streamlines issuer onboarding, enhances regulatory confidence, and provides a fully supported pathway from issuance to lifecycle management. As part of the relationship, tZERO will also operate a validator node on Polymesh, demonstrating commitment to the network's governance and security.
Polymesh was specifically designed for regulated financial assets, offering native identity, compliance, confidentiality, and governance frameworks. The collaboration pairs this specialized blockchain architecture with tZERO's regulatory and market structure expertise to create what executives describe as a purpose-built solution for real-world tokenization at institutional scale. Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, stated that this partnership aligns with the company's strategic pillar to build closer adjacencies with the decentralized finance ecosystem and provide issuers with clear, compliant, and scalable paths to tokenization.
Vincent Kadar, Chief Executive Officer of Polymath, emphasized that Polymesh was built from the ground up to solve the governance, identity, compliance, and confidentiality challenges institutions face when moving real-world assets on-chain. He noted that pairing Polymesh with tZERO's proven broker-dealer, ATS, and custody infrastructure creates what he called "the clearest, most compliant end-to-end pathway for issuers anywhere in the world." The partnership represents a significant development in the real-world asset tokenization space, potentially addressing key barriers to institutional adoption.
This collaboration strengthens the broader RWA ecosystem by aligning Polymath's L1 chain governance with tZERO's regulated stack, enabling a scalable foundation for issuers looking to launch, manage, and grow digital asset programs. The partnership comes as institutional interest in tokenizing traditional assets continues to grow, with both companies positioning themselves to capture this emerging market opportunity.
