BlackRock Institutional Funds to go On-Chain via Injective

Libre, a leading technology infrastructure platform, has partnered with Nomura’s Laser Digital to bring institutional investment funds on-chain via Injective, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain.

This integration represents a major step forward in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, making traditional finance (TradFi) more accessible, liquid, and interoperable within decentralized finance (DeFi). Notably, institutional investors can now access tokenized funds from BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Hamilton Lane—all within Libre’s decentralized application (dApp) on Injective.

Institutional Tokenization of Private Funds

The partnership between Libre and Injective enables institutional and accredited investors to seamlessly access some of the world's largest financial firms through blockchain-based tokenization.

How Libre’s Tokenization Framework Works

Libre's real-world asset (RWA) tokenization transforms traditional financial instruments into blockchain-based tokens, improving liquidity, transparency, and efficiency.

Step-by-Step Process of Libre's Tokenization

• Asset Conversion – Traditional assets (private equity, credit funds, or treasury products) are converted into digital tokens via smart contracts.
• Fractional Ownership – Each token represents partial ownership in an entity holding the real-world asset.
  Regulated Access – Only institutions and accredited investors can access these funds through Libre’s allowlist management system.
• Integration with DeFi – Tokenized assets can be used as collateral, staked, or traded on Injective’s ecosystem.
• Automated Rebalancing – Portfolio managers can program dynamic asset allocation rules, such as quarterly rebalancing.

This approach eliminates inefficiencies found in traditional finance, offering:

• Lower fees
• Faster settlements
• 24/7 secondary trading
• Global investor acces
