Hedera

Foundation

BlackRock

Archax, a digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian based in London, has expanded its tokenization services to the BlackRock ICS US Treasury money market fund (MMF). This undertaking is implemented in cooperation with The HBAR Foundation and is a major step forward in the merging of traditional financial assets with the blockchain technology. 
<h2 id="introduction-of-tokenized-mmfs">Introduction of Tokenized MMFs</h2> 
Archax, the first FCA-regulated entity of its kind, has tokenized money market funds from Abrdn in the past, working with both Hedera and Ethereum blockchains. The inclusion of MMF of <a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-brings-ethereum-etf-enthusiast-on-board-to-focus-on-crypto-offerings/">BlackRock </a>into this online platform provides new options for liquidity and investment. The process of tokenization enables MMF shares to be traded on the Archax platform and via connected networks, thus increasing accessibility to institutional and professional clients.

The initial transaction of these tokenized shares was performed through the Ownera FinP2P digital asset network, demonstrating the real-world utility of this emerging technology in today’s market environment. The digital and blockchain integration of the traditional money market funds, as a result, gives a safe and smooth way to which these financial instruments will be managing and trading. 
<h2 id="benefits-of-blackrock-mmf-tokenization">Benefits of BlackRock MMF Tokenization</h2> 
The tokenization of money market funds, for example, BlackRock funds, also brings several benefits. In an environment with high-interest rates, the liquidity facility of being able to trade MMF shares quickly and safely becomes an attractive alternative. According to Graham Rodford, the CEO and co-founder of Archax, 
<blockquote>
 “An addition of more funds to our portfolio of <a href="https://coingape.com/barclays-lloyds-testing-tokenized-deposits-in-britain-report/">tokenized </a>MMF shares makes the range we have more extensive and allows us to offer our services to a wider target audience.”
</blockquote> 
Additionally, the secondary market for such tokenized instruments provides the facility of almost instant transfers of MMF shares all day long, which can also be used for collateral movements rather than only typical buying and selling. Such kind of flexibility and average efficiency is the main thing as digital technologies continue to change the financial industry.

The cooperation between <a href="https://coingape.com/hbar-foundation-archax-extend-partnership-hbar-price-rally-to-continue/">Archax</a>, Ownera, and the usage of the <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/is-pyth-network-pyth-price-1-hedera-integration-listings/">Hedera network </a>plays a key role in the successful implementation of this new product. The technology of Ownera, that consists of a Buy-Side Router, allows a broad spectrum of financial institutions, from banks to wealth managers, to smoothly interact with the tokenized MMFs. 
The need for this integration was underlined by Ami Ben David, CEO and co-founder of Ownera, in the framework of a global vision of the ecosystem for institutional tokenized assets. 
Shayne Higdon, CEO of The HBAR Foundation, commented on the initiative, 
<blockquote>
 “The addition of MMF shares tokenized on Hedera, enabled by Archax, is a huge vote of confidence.” 
</blockquote> 
Hedera’s technology, moreover, is celebrated for its speed, security, and cost efficiency, making it an ideal platform for institutional-grade tokenization.
