Privacy-focused COTI Joins Tokenized Asset Coalition

COTI announced that it has officially joined the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC). This organization brings together the biggest names in traditional finance and Web3 to push toward a shared goal: moving $1 trillion in assets to public blockchains.

COTI joins 23 other new members, chosen from hundreds of applicants, as part of the coalition's latest expansion wave. Other inductees include major players such as Arbitrum, Polygon, Circle, Coinbase, Fireblocks, Zksync, Stellar, and Fidelity. 

While announcing this, COTI stated that, 

"We are excited to announce that COTI has joined the Tokenized Asset Coalition (@TACoalition) to help bring the next trillion dollars of assets on-chain." 

This membership is an opportunity to directly influence the architecture of institutional blockchain finance.

The Tokenized Asset Coalition was formed with a bold mission to unite the fragmented efforts of traditional and decentralized finance in building an efficient, compliant, and scalable infrastructure for tokenized assets. Their long-term vision revolves around the belief that tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) such as bonds, real estate, and commodities will be a defining force in the next era of finance.

However, TAC believes that the industry needs,

• Shared regulatory frameworks

• Interoperable networks

• Industry education

• Privacy, security, and transparency

That's why TAC was formed on three foundational pillars:

• Education: Foster understanding through shared knowledge, events, and published insights.

• Advocacy: Develop best practices to ensure long-term, regulation-aligned growth.

• Adoption: Build real infrastructure for institutions to tokenize and manage assets on-chain.

COTI was selected to join this coalition because of its innovative Privacy-on-Demand technology, a breakthrough approach to enabling confidential, yet compliant, transactions and data management for RWAs.

COTI's privacy layer allows transactions to remain hidden by default, but also includes the necessary mechanisms for auditing and regulatory access when required. The technology leverages garbled circuits, a cryptographic method that enables secure computation without revealing inputs, ensuring privacy without slowing down performance or bloating transaction fees.

According to COTI, its TAC membership isn't its first step into the tokenization arena. The project has already spent years building partnerships and laying groundwork across key geographies:

• Worked with the European Central Bank on a proof-of-concept for a Eurozone-wide central bank digital currency (CBDC).

• Joined the Africa Tokenization Council, which recently hosted its first policy roundtable at the RWA Summit in Dubai.

• Represented at the New York Digital Asset Summit Roundtable by COTI's CEPO, Joshua Maddox.

• Signed an MOU with Aureus.Money, aiming to integrate COTI's Privacy-on-Demand into their Hedera-based RWA platform.

TAC pointed out that tokenization is the "best opportunity" for TradFi and DeFi to work in sync. It's how:

• Traditional finance can reduce friction, settlement times, and overhead.

• Crypto ecosystems can find real-world utility and stable liquidity.

• A more open, inclusive, and global financial system can emerge.

As a new TAC member, COTI will take part in shaping key coalition activities, including:

• Bi-weekly coalition calls

• Quarterly whitepapers like "The State of Tokenized Assets"

• Monthly industry content

• Representation at global events across Asia, Europe, and North America

• Working groups focused on privacy, security, compliance, and cross-chain standards

In addition to these, COTI will bring a voice to privacy in a space dominated by transparency, making sure the future of finance respects not just openness, but also user protection and data sovereignty.
