AlpacaDB Inc. has launched the Instant Tokenization Network (ITN), a groundbreaking infrastructure that facilitates the instant conversion of traditional brokerage-held stocks into tokenized versions and vice versa, 24/7, outside of market hours. This innovation addresses the existing inefficiencies and costs associated with on-chain liquidity, which have hindered the growth of tokenized stocks. By enabling in-kind minting and redemption, Alpaca's ITN helps stabilize tokenized security prices, similar to how the SEC-approved in-kind processes for Bitcoin and Ether ETPs improved their market efficiency. The network debuts with Solana as its exclusive settlement chain, with plans to expand to other chains, aiming to create a seamless ecosystem for tokenized assets. The initiative is supported by global partners such as Kraken, Backed (xStocks), Ondo Finance, Dinari, and DRW, all working to merge traditional and decentralized finance, enhance liquidity, and democratize access to U.S. stocks and ETFs on-chain. Alpaca's ITN promises to transform how financial markets operate by bridging traditional and crypto financial systems while ensuring compliance and investor protection.
