On Monday, the Avalanche Foundation announced via X that European tokenization leader Cashlink is bringing its institutional securities infrastructure to Avalanche.
Cashlink has over €1B in transaction volume, 300+ successful live issuances, and their infrastructure is already being used by industry giants including KfW, NRW.BANK, DZ Bank, Tradias, Helaba, and more.
Avalanche will power regulated tokenization for Cashlink’s institutional clients, enabling financial institutions to issue and manage token-based securities on Avalanche.
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in an interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Avalanche is a layer one blockchain that functions as a platform for decentralized applications and custom blockchain networks. It is one of Ethereum’s rivals, aiming to unseat Ethereum as the most popular blockchain for smart contracts. It aims to do so by having a higher transaction output of up to 6,500 transactions per second while not compromising scalability.
This is made possible by Avalanche’s unique architecture. The Avalanche network consists of three individual blockchains: the X-Chain, C-Chain, and P-Chain. Each chain has a distinct purpose, which is radically different from the approach Bitcoin and Ethereum use, namely, having all nodes validate all transactions. Avalanche blockchains even use different consensus mechanisms based on their use cases.
AVAX is up 1.8% today and currently trades at $7.25 per coin.
