Hex Trust, a digital asset financial institution specialising in custody, staking, and markets services, has announced support for Etherlink, a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 2 network built on Tezos.
As part of the integration, Hex Trust now offers custody support for xU3O8, a tokenised uranium asset issued on Etherlink, which according to the firm, reinforces its commitment to the real-world asset ecosystem.
The integration is supported by Trilitech — the research and development adoption hub working on the Tezos blockchain platform and the team behind Etherlink — which is working with Hex Trust to connect institutional clients seeking secure custody for xU3O8 and other Etherlink-based assets.
The xU3O8 token is listed across multiple exchanges, which the firm says, makes it one of the most accessible examples of on-chain commodity tokenisation.
Hex Trust offers licensed and compliant custody to safeguard tokenised commodities.
Giorgia Pellizzari, head of custody at Hex Trust, says: “Tokenised commodities like uranium are gaining institutional interest as more real-world assets move on-chain.
“By integrating Etherlink, we reinforce our support for the Tezos ecosystem, and highlight our continued focus on delivering secure, regulated custody for institutions engaging with the evolving landscape of real-world asset tokenisation.”
Ben Elvidge, the head of commercial applications at Trilitech, adds: "We're really excited to see Hex Trust embracing xU3O8. Uranium is a perfect fit for this kind of innovation. It's a physical asset that's tough for most investors to access, the market has pricing issues, and now we can solve both problems with blockchain rails.
“Having a proper regulated custodian like Hex Trust in the mix just makes it that much easier for institutions to dip their toes in the water."
