RWA tokenization platform DifiFT has been granted a custodial license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, enabling it to add custody services for tokenized assets on its platform. DigiFT, a blockchain platform for tokenized real-world assets built on the Ethereum ( ETH ) blockchain, has received a custodial license from MAS. Before this, DigiFT was already approved to operate a trading platform for security tokens and offer financial services. Now, with this new license, it can also offer custody services for capital market products. This means that DifiFT can now handle everything in one place—that is, issuing, trading, and storing of blockchain-based security tokens—without relying on outside partners. “Obtaining the custodial license under our CMS framework is a key step in DigiFT’s mission to build a robust and fully compliant digital asset ecosystem. By integrating custody services into our existing regulated framework, we are enhancing both security and efficiency for issuers and investors while paving the way for broader institutional adoption of tokenized assets, ” said Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO at DigiFT.
