OKX has announced a strategic partnership with major financial institutions to launch a tokenization program for money market funds in Dubai.
Collaboration of OKX and Financial Giants
OKX has partnered with leading financial institutions, including Standard Chartered, Brevan Howard, and Franklin Templeton, to launch a tokenization program for money market funds. The initiative aims to utilize tokenized versions of money market funds as collateral for trading and lending in the crypto ecosystem.
Initiative Under VARA
The program is being implemented under the regulatory framework of Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), highlighting Dubai's ability to emerge as an international hub for crypto and blockchain projects. VARA provides the necessary infrastructure for compliance and innovation in digital assets.
