Partnership Details

As per the announcement, Ozean is partnering with First Digital to boost RWA tokenization. This endeavor grants Ozean-based projects access to the licensed custody of digital assets and the stablecoin ecosystem of First Digital USD ($FDUSD). First Digital Labs focuses on developing a stablecoin portfolio that is thoroughly trusted in Asia, catering to the needs of global institutions and businesses. This includes providing compliant and efficient cross-border payments, global expansion, along with trade settlements.

$FDUSD was released in June 2013 as a 1:1 USD-pegged stablecoin with a market capitalization exceeding $2B. It aims to deliver a scalable, transparent, and secure worldwide digital dollar, supported by cash and equivalents stored in separate holding structures. It serves as a trusted tool for DeFi applications, trading, and payments. First Digital’s General Manager Devere Bryan sees this partnership as a crucial step to expand $FDUSD’s reach, enhancing stablecoin solutions for RWA tokenization.

Boosting Adoption of RWAs

According to Clearpool’s Co-founder and CEO Jakob Kronbichler, the partnership enables the platform to utilize First Digital’s payment and custody solutions, ultimately improving Ozean-based projects. This collaboration drives the adoption of RWAs in the DeFi sector.
