Polymesh Association, the leader in real world asset tokenization and blockchain technology for capital markets, today announced that AlphaPoint, a leading global provider of digital asset infrastructure for exchanges, brokerages, payment networks, and banking, has partnered with Polymesh to offer the best and most efficient tokenization solution via an easy-to-use API.

Polymesh Association has given a grant from the Polymesh Ecosystem Development Fund to AlphaPoint to integrate Polymesh into AlphaPoint’s Asset Digitization (APAD) and AlphaPoint’s white-label Exchange (APEX) in order to tokenize assets and facilitate the creation, minting, issuing, and trading of tokens. AlphaPoint’s existing client base features over 150 customers from 35 countries including the CME Group, Bancolombia Group’s Wenia Exchange, and the El Salvadoran government’s Chivo Wallet.

“The future of trading will be driven by tokenized assets on blockchain across asset classes. Regulated assets, in particular, require unique blockchain capabilities to operate in a compliant way. Integrating Polymesh into our platform will help AlphaPoint to power more tokenized asset marketplaces worldwide by simplifying the tokenization process and eliminating the need for complex smart contracts,” said Igor Telyatnikov, CEO and Co-Founder of AlphaPoint. “As regulatory clarity around RWA (real-world assets) advances, this partnership allows us to provide best-in-class technology for the next generation of exchanges and marketplaces, delivering enhanced security and compliance features.”

“We always look for ways to drive global adoption of Polymesh as the premier institutional blockchain for regulated assets,” said Graeme Moore, Head of Tokenization, Polymesh Association. “AlphaPoint, with its extensive network and strong track record, will support our mission by bringing high quality assets and users to Polymesh.”

AlphaPoint's decision to partner with Polymesh was driven by the platform's specialized native features and user-friendly approach to APIs. By enabling token configuration directly in the blockchain layer, Polymesh removes the complexity and costs associated with third-party smart contracts, streamlining the tokenization process. Additionally, Polymesh's status as an institutional-grade public permissioned blockchain with regulated nodes and a robust settlement engine enhances security and compliance, reduces counterparty risk, and prevents involvement by restricted or sanctioned participants.
