Hedera’s presence in the market for real-world assets is about to receive a significant boost, as $100 million worth of real-world assets are set to be brought on-chain through the institutional real estate platform StegX.
The Hedera Foundation, a supporter of the Hedera (HBAR) blockchain network’s development, made the exciting announcement on May 29, 2025. In a blog post, the foundation revealed that its partnership with StegX will result in the deployment of more than $100 million in real estate tokens on the Hedera network.
This collaboration also involves Zoniqx, a firm based in Silicon Valley that focuses on connecting real-world assets to the decentralized finance ecosystem through compliant and interoperable blockchain infrastructure. Zoniqx’s DyCIST, or Dynamic Compliant Interoperable Security Token, is the ERC-7518 standard designed for institutional tokenization.
Zoniqx’s standard enables the integration of compliance specific to jurisdictions at the token level, as well as the automation of know-your-customer and anti-money laundering procedures. KYC and AML are crucial compliance requirements that have hindered institutional participation in the tokenized real-world asset market.

StegX will utilize the ERC-7518 security token standard for the deployment of tokens, allowing the platform to tokenize regulated assets. The Hedera Foundation stated that this move by the platform represents a shift from theoretical tokenization to actual implementation.
“By integrating the ERC-7518 token standard on the Hedera network, the StegX marketplace is not only pioneering a new era of asset tokenization but also ensuring that every transaction complies with issuers’ regulations,” said Daniel Radwansky, CEO and co-founder of StegX. “Our partnership with Zoniqx reinforces this vision, providing a fully digital and compliant channel for institutional investors to access premium tokenized real-world assets,” Radwansky added.
The collaboration between the Hedera Foundation, StegX, and Zoniqx follows Verra’s integration with Hedera, a global leader in carbon standards with over 1 billion carbon credits issued. Verra accounts for more than 60% of the global carbon credits market.
The HBAR Foundation also recently teamed up with asset tokenization platform Tokeny to bring compliant real-world asset tokenization to the Hedera network. In February, the HBAR Foundation invested in Fidelity International’s money market fund, with the shares tokenized by Archax.
