Hedera Hashgraph has launched the Asset Tokenization Studio, an open-source toolkit designed for financial institutions, enterprises, and developers. This toolkit allows users to tokenize real-world assets, such as bonds and equities, with full lifecycle management on-chain. Hedera’s new solution marks a significant leap in on-chain asset management, providing secure, transparent, and compliant tools for tokenization.
The launch of the Asset Tokenization Studio addresses one of the biggest hurdles in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization: regulatory compliance. With this toolkit, every aspect of asset management stays on-chain. This helps reduce risk, ensuring that all assets remain secure and transparent throughout their lifecycle.
Meeting the Challenge of Tokenizing Real-World Assets
Tokenizing real-world assets has long presented challenges. Many tokenization standards, like ERC-1400, require managing key details off-chain. This approach adds complexity and risk. The Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio solves these problems by keeping every process on-chain, from issuance to redemption.
This new toolkit supports the creation of bonds, stock dividends, and other financial instruments. The solution complies with specific jurisdictional regulations, including support for U.S. SEC regulations D and S. This flexibility is crucial for institutions needing to meet diverse regulatory standards across multiple regions.
By lowering technical barriers to the tokenization of bonds and equities, along with the recording of their underlying data on ledger, the Asset Tokenization Studio will contribute to the growth of Hedera’s RWA ecosystem and facilitate the on-chain migration of capital markets with a focus on compliance

Key Features of the Asset Tokenization Studio
The Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio offers a comprehensive set of tools to help institutions and developers manage assets on-chain. Key features include:
- Full On-Chain Lifecycle Management: Every stage of asset management, from issuance to redemption, happens on-chain. This ensures a seamless and secure process.
- Regulatory Compliance: The studio integrates support for regulatory frameworks, including U.S. SEC regulations D and S, providing institutions with the flexibility to comply with legal requirements.

These tools make it easier for developers to test and deploy tokenized assets, while supporting wallets like MetaMask and Hedera WalletConnect for transaction signing.
The open-source nature of the toolkit ensures that developers have full access to customize, improve, and deploy tokenized assets in a secure and transparent environment.
A Collaborative Effort Driving Adoption
Hedera’s partners, including RedSwan and ioBuilders, played a crucial role in developing the Asset Tokenization Studio. Edward Nwokedi from RedSwan described the toolkit as a response to the challenges in tokenizing real-world assets. He emphasized that it removes barriers to tokenization and simplifies entry into the tokenized market.
Carlos Matilla, CEO of ioBuilders, noted that the studio accelerates the adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT) by offering a standardized approach to managing digital assets. He said it covers the entire lifecycle of tokenized instruments, making it invaluable for asset managers, brokers, and other financial professionals.
