Wormhole to enable seamless cross-chain transfers and communication for all current and future tokenized assets on the Securitize platform

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Securitize, bringing the world on-chain as the leaders of real-world asset tokenization, today announced an integration with the Wormhole Foundation that will bring cross-chain capabilities to all assets tokenized through the Securitize platform. The collaboration results in all current and future tokenized assets from Securitize leveraging Wormhole as the official blockchain interoperability provider. The collaboration represents a significant advancement in the tokenization and cross-chain interoperability of digital assets, facilitating the growth of major institutional adoption and bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized financial systems.

For asset issuers that leverage Securitize’s tokenization capabilities, this integration will allow tokens to move seamlessly across different blockchain ecosystems, enhancing liquidity and accessibility for tokenized assets. Investors will receive greater flexibility in managing and transferring tokenized assets across various blockchains, unlocking the potential to access a broader range of compliant digital asset ecosystems across many different networks.

“Tokenized securities need to thrive on public, permissionless blockchains to unlock the potential of blockchain technology,” said Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize. “This partnership with Wormhole will help enable sub-second, sub-penny transactions and move us into an increasingly cross-chain ecosystem, showcasing yet another example of how public blockchains enable new use cases that had previously been unavailable.” 

Platform users can expect increased trust, legitimacy, and flexibility in cross-chain activities, backed by Securitize’s industry leading compliance expertise and Wormhole’s secure, open-source interoperability platform. While leveraging the Wormhole messaging protocol, Securitize will be using its own smart contracts in a customized approach that allows for the creation of tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each asset manager, as well as regulations.

Robinson Burkey, co-founder and CCO of Wormhole Foundation, added: “Securitize has solidified itself as a leader in the tokenized asset ecosystem and we’re thrilled to bring the Wormhole platform to their customers to enable a more complete asset management experience.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
