Injecting The Biggest Developments
🥷 What’s happening: Injective is partnering with Valereum to host DigiShares’ real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform. The setup will allow assets on DigiShares’ platform to be minted on Injective’s onchain infrastructure, which will be regulated in El Salvador through Valereum Markets.
🥷 Why it matters: Once the platform is live, issuers can move from traditional asset management workflows to blockchain settlement without changing how compliance or investor onboarding are handled.
Alongside this, all three organizations plan to support ERC-7943, a standard designed for tokenized RWAs that uses shared rules for compliance checks, transfer restrictions, and administrative controls like freezing or force-transferring tokens.
By using a common framework, assets issued through DigiShares can remain compatible across different blockchains and venues, reducing fragmentation and making it easier for capital to move.
🥷 The bigger picture: Tokenization is considered one of crypto’s most valued sectors, featuring $24.36 billion of distributed asset value (amount of tokens that use the blockchain to hold or manage RWAs), and $361.44 billion in represented asset value (tokens that use the blockchain as a recordkeeper).
Injective is positioning itself as an infrastructure layer for capital markets, with native order books and tools designed for regulated assets. The DigiShares integration adds another piece to that stack: compliant issuance at the protocol level, paired with interoperable trading and regulated access through Valereum.
