According to a September 17 press release , the solution’s key features include a “tokenization engine” for secure minting, custody, distribution, and management of stablecoins across over 80 blockchains. The solution will also give clients access to real-time data synchronization for enhanced transparency and proof of reserves functionality for verifying stablecoin collateral onchain.
