Fireblocks launches LayerZero integration, enabling institutions to issue stablecoins on over 35 blockchains with unmatched security, governance, and no-code deployment.The integration supports seamless OFT-enabled stablecoin issuance, solving fragmentation across chains.Institutions benefit from enterprise-grade controls, real-time compliance tools, and effortless multi-chain scaling.The Wyoming Stable Token Commission and WSPN (Worldwide Stablecoin Payment Network) are the first adopters, setting a new precedent for secure, interoperable stablecoin infrastructure.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fireblocks, an enterprise platform for managing digital asset operations and building innovative businesses on blockchain, announced today it has expanded its Tokenization Engine with the launch of a new integration with LayerZero, the industry’s leading interoperability protocol. With LayerZero, thousands of Fireblocks customers can issue and manage stablecoins across more than 35 chains with ease, security, and governance.

The growing importance of stablecoins in the global payments ecosystem has catapulted the stablecoin market cap past $230 billion, doubling that of last year. With the world increasingly recognizing the transformative potential of stablecoins, the demand for robust infrastructure is reaching a feverish peak.

This integration combines Fireblocks’ battle-tested security and operational efficiency with LayerZero interoperability. LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard will now facilitate the issuance of stablecoins and other RWAs that can seamlessly operate across multiple blockchains.

By integrating LayerZero’s technology into the Fireblocks platform, clients can now create OFT-enabled stablecoins in just a few clicks, all while benefiting from Fireblocks’ industry-leading security, governance, and controls.

LayerZero and Fireblocks are addressing the primary challenge of fragmentation in today’s digital asset ecosystem, making the tokenization of stablecoins and real-world assets more interoperable, secure, and efficient.

Institutional-grade security meets effortless multi-chain deployment

The rise of institutional interest in digital assets is accompanied by a heightened need for security and governance. Institutions rely on Fireblocks’ defense-in-depth approach to deploying and managing smart contracts, building on institutional-grade key management and fine-grained governance controls.

Fireblocks has supported stablecoin issuance by banks worldwide since ANZ Bank launched the first Australian dollar stablecoin in 2022. LayerZero has also supported stablecoin issuance, with $10B in stable assets building with its OFT Standard, including USDT0, USDe, and PYUSD. Now, with the integration of LayerZero, Fireblocks is powering the next wave.

Varun Paul, Senior Director for Financial Markets at Fireblocks, commented, “As global regulations take shape and institutional adoption accelerates, the need for secure and interoperable infrastructure is more critical than ever. Together, Fireblocks and LayerZero deliver a future-proof foundation, blending OFT’s native cross-chain capabilities with enterprise-grade key management and governance.”

Simon Baskys, VP of Business Development at LayerZero added, “Tokenization is only as powerful as the networks it can interact with. This partnership combines best-in-class security with true omnichain interoperability, giving institutions a seamless, scalable solution to meet the demands of a multi-chain future.”

Key benefits of this integration for financial institutions, stablecoin issuers, and enterprises include:

Simple Token Issuance: Securely create and issue new tokens across multiple blockchains with no-code or low-code deployment, reducing time-to-market.Regulatory Confidence: Comply with evolving global regulations via Fireblocks’ built-in AML/KYT tools, robust governance policies, and real-time asset monitoring.Instant Interoperability: Achieve a single, fungible pool of liquidity across the blockchains supported by both Fireblocks and LayerZero — simplifying liquidity management, treasury functions, and reporting.Enhanced Market Reach: Seamlessly integrate with the broader DeFi ecosystem, decentralized exchanges, and NFT marketplaces without building separate bridge infrastructure for each blockchain.

Strategic partnerships to enhance compliance and security

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has chosen Fireblocks and LayerZero as token issuance partners.

“By choosing Fireblocks’ Tokenization Engine and LayerZero, we’re implementing the most secure, scalable infrastructure available to deploy Wyoming Stable Tokens across multiple blockchains. This is the first time a U.S. state has issued a fiat-backed digital asset—and with that comes both the opportunity and the responsibility to set the standard. WYST establishes a model for issuing stablecoins that are compliant, cost-efficient, and natively interoperable, enabling global transfers that are faster and more efficient than traditional rails,” said Anthony Apollo, Wyoming Stable Commission Director.

Worldwide Stablecoin Payment Network (WSPN) is the first adopter of the Fireblocks and LayerZero integration, using the solution to enhance the security, compliance, and scalability of their stablecoins.

David Chen, Chief Technology Officer of WSPN, said, “WSPN is building the next-generation stablecoin payment network infrastructure with a strong foundation in cross-chain interoperability and secure tokenization. Leveraging technologies such as Fireblocks’ Tokenization Engine and LayerZero’s interoperability protocol, we ensure the seamless issuance, management, and transfer of stablecoins across multiple chains. Our infrastructure is purpose-built to scale globally, enabling frictionless, secure, and decentralized value movement across a truly multi-chain environment.”

Putting Young Innovators Center Stage: Leaders In Future Tech+ Wraps with ¥526 Million in Investment Intentions and 31 Enterprise Landings

Published

on

By

NANJING, China, Nov. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On November 7, the grand finale of Leaders In Future Tech+ — a documentary sci-tech innovation program jointly produced by China Media Group, the Ministry of Education, and the Nanjing Municipal People’s Government — aired as the Youth Innovation Carnival.

Since its October 3 premiere, the program traveled to 10 cities across China, selecting 100 teams of young innovators with an average age of just 28 from nearly 500 applicants. Fifteen finalists advanced to the finale, presenting breakthroughs spanning AI chips, optical interconnect, biomedicine, smart agriculture, and more.

To date, the program has facilitated ¥526 million in investment intentions covering 34 participating enterprises, and helped 31 companies reach landing agreements with 11 districts and counties of Nanjing.

At the carnival, the “Leaders In Future Tech+ Little Giant Transformation Plan” was launched, with 13 enterprises selected in the first batch to receive a five-module service system guiding them toward specialized, high-end development.

Behind these numbers is a media-driven innovation model: closed-door investment meetings were turned into open, transparent dialogues, connecting young innovators directly with venture capital firms, academicians, industry experts, and local governments — with the focus not on short-term commercial maturity, but on long-term growth potential.

The finale also showed how technology serves everyday life: non-invasive brain-computer interface demonstrations, low-cost bone-repair materials, and ultra-low-cost fresh-keeping cards that reduce agricultural loss — each a footnote to innovation with human warmth.

With Season One concluded, Season Two recruitment is now open to innovation teams nationwide via China Media Group’s official channels and the Yangshipin app (CMG Mobile). As the program’s message goes: put young innovators at center stage — and hand the future to innovation.

Operators, technology leaders, policymakers and innovators gather in Doha today for three days of exhibition, collaboration and debate on the future of connectivity across the Middle East and North Africa

DOHA, Qatar, Nov. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MWC26 Doha, held in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), opened today at Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), bringing together connectivity ecosystem to shape the next phase of growth for a mobile economy forecast to add $470 billion to the Middle East and North Africa by 2030.

MWC26 Doha officially opened today, in presence of His Excellency Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan bin Ali Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs. His Excellency Mr. Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, State of Qatar delivered a welcome address.

In his opening remarks, H.E. Mr. Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, said: “The second edition of MWC Doha takes place at a time when the requirements of telecommunications infrastructure are undergoing fundamental change. As artificial intelligence advances towards executing tasks through intelligent agents, the need for more resilient networks and advanced computing capabilities continues to grow. At the same time, global challenges underscore the importance of diversifying connectivity routes and ensuring service continuity.”

GSMA Director General Vivek Badrinath and ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin took to the stage for a fireside chat. Mr Badrinath set out the key priorities shaping the region’s connected future, with a continued commitment to global standards keeping networks and services interoperable across markets, as well as a renewed push to extend connectivity to populations that remain offline in MENA.

Vivek Badrinath, Director General, GSMA, said: “Progress only counts if everyone shares in it. That means two things: global standards that keep networks, services and devices working across borders, and a concerted effort to connect the people who are still offline. Over the next three days, MWC Doha, alongside its co-location with ITU’s PP-26, will bring together the policy makers, innovators and industry leaders setting these standards and building these networks, to help make this vision a reality. As the ITU Plenipotentiary continues, we are confident that the enhanced dialog which our co-location has allowed will feed into the important conversations taking place.”
