  • ParaFi taps tokenization giant Securitize to bolster transparency and access for new players on Avalanche.
  • That comes as the tokenized asset industry sees significant growth.
  • Avalanche’s customizability, low fees, and EVM compatibility attract institutions.

Alternative asset manager ParaFi Capital has joined forces with real-world asset tokenization giant Securitize to tokenize part of its venture fund on the Avalanche (AVAX) network.

That will allow a massive wave of investors to partake in ParaFi’s investment strategy.

ParaFi Capital managing partner and founder Ben Forman stated,

Forman believes tokenizing private market strategies will unlock smooth settlement processes and cut administrative and legal costs, introducing benefits such as programmability, cross-margining, and heightened liquidity.

ParaFi pivots to RWA tokenization

The company’s move comes after last month’s fundraising, which saw ParaFi securing $120M from top investors like Accolade Partners and Theta Capital Management.

The firm will use the money to expand its business in the crypto sector by investing in cryptocurrency-focused funds.

Moreover, the latest move is vital for ParaFi’s growth strategy. The company plans to build a comprehensive portfolio with 30-50 stakes, underscoring its commitment to the tokenization trends.

Also, the tokenized fund will see a wide range of investors joining ParaFi’s institutional players, including family offices, endowments, and foundations. The announcement stated:

Meanwhile, the tokenized interest will be tradeable on the Securitize Markets soon, allowing individuals to capitalize on Securitize Credit’s lending and borrowing.

Avalanche sees institutional demand

Avalanche emerges as a suitable option for institutional players due to features like sub-second finality, EM compatibility, customizability, low fees, and a massive pool of tokenized assets.

Ava Labs president John Wu commented on the recent ParaFi support,

AVAX price outlook

The native token maintains a bullish stance after jumping from the daily low of $23.46 to $24.06.

AVAX traded at $23.70 during this publication, reflecting a slight dip from its 24-hour high. Moreover, the 26% dip in daily trading volume suggests weakness in the current uptrend.

Avalanche’s current price performance reflects the broad market outlook. Nonetheless, the increasing interest from institutions will trigger solid rebounds once bulls dominate the crypto space.
