Partnership Targets Growing Institutional Demand for Real-World Assets
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OpenWorld Ltd. (“OpenWorld”), a blockchain infrastructure company advancing real-world asset (RWA) tokenization across global markets, and Blockchain.com, a global leader in cryptocurrency services for retail and institutional clients, with over 95 million wallet users worldwide, today announced a strategic partnership under which Blockchain.com will support OpenWorld across RWA initiatives, institutional market access, trading, and treasury management. Additionally, as part of the agreement, Blockchain.com has made a strategic investment in OpenWorld.
The multi-year partnership is designed to embed institutional-grade trading, liquidity, and distribution infrastructure into OpenWorld’s platform as the firm expands its RWA tokenization, treasury, and advisory activities across global markets. By integrating Blockchain.com’s execution and balance sheet capabilities into both proprietary initiatives and third-party client engagements, the partnership is intended to enable OpenWorld to deliver more seamless end-to-end support across the lifecycle of digital asset issuance, treasury management, and secondary market operations.
“We’ve made a deliberate decision to build OpenWorld’s infrastructure layer alongside best-in-class institutional counterparties,” said Matthew Shaw, CEO and co-founder of OpenWorld. “Blockchain.com brings the execution depth, product breadth, and regulatory infrastructure that our clients and pipeline demand.”
“Partnering with OpenWorld is a natural step forward for our institutional business,” said Al Turnbull, Managing Director, Institutional Client Services at Blockchain.com. “OpenWorld has built a powerful foundation for token launches and real-world asset tokenization. By connecting our networks, we are delivering a seamless, secure pipeline for institutions looking to launch tokens and manage digital assets at scale.”
The partnership comes at an inflection point for real-world asset tokenization, as institutional and high-net-worth investors increasingly seek onchain exposure to traditional asset classes and RWAs have emerged as the next major wave of digital asset adoption. By enabling fractional ownership, improving price discovery, and facilitating near-continuous settlement, tokenization unlocks access to historically illiquid asset classes — creating more efficient and inclusive capital markets for institutional and individual participants alike.
Together, OpenWorld and Blockchain.com intend to develop joint go-to market initiatives, shared origination efforts, and coordinated client outreach designed to advance the broader adoption of tokenized real-world assets across global institutional and private markets.
