LONDON - Valereum Plc (AQSE:VLRM) announced Wednesday it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with blockchain provider ZIGChain and tokenization platform DigiShares to explore developing an institutional-grade platform for real-world asset tokenization.
According to the press release statement, the collaboration aims to combine regulatory expertise, blockchain infrastructure, and tokenization technology to advance institutional adoption of compliant real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Under the agreement, DigiShares will consider integrating ZIGChain as a lead tokenization blockchain and explore providing a white-label tokenization platform. VLRM Markets, through DigiShares, will look into deploying an RWA marketplace with potential issuances on ZIGChain.
The initial focus of the collaboration will be on the MENA region, leveraging Zamanat’s presence there, with plans for potential global expansion.
Mark Mariampillai, Business Development Lead at Valereum, said the collaboration is part of their work to build institutional-grade infrastructure for digital assets by combining Valereum’s regulatory approach with ZIGChain’s blockchain capabilities and DigiShares’ tokenization platform.
Future plans outlined in the MoU include developing what the parties describe as the first whitelisted institutional-grade decentralized exchange focused on RWAs, which would complement existing decentralized exchanges on ZIGChain.
VLRM Markets, a licensed Digital Asset Service Provider in El Salvador, may tokenize some of its asset issuances on the ZIGChain blockchain to enable distribution to institutions, high-net-worth individuals, and KYC-verified retail investors.
The collaboration reflects Valereum’s broader mission to integrate traditional financial systems with decentralized finance by developing compliant infrastructure supporting digital asset adoption.
