Global Settlement Network Unveils Revolutionary Platform for Asset Tokenization
September 8, 2025 – The financial world is on the cusp of a transformative shift as Global Settlement Network (GSX) launches its cutting-edge platform for asset tokenization [1], poised to redefine how real-world assets are traded and managed in the digital age. With a focus on security, compliance, and seamless integration, GSX's platform, offers a robust solution for tokenizing assets like real estate, commodities, and financial instruments, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for investors and institutions alike. GSX is part of the RWA Foundation [3].
Bridging Traditional Finance and Blockchain
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi and founded in 2023, Global Settlement Network [6] is a financial services company with a team of 11-50 employees, specializing in blockchain, real-world assets (RWAs), and commodities tokenization. The company’s mission, as outlined on its LinkedIn page, is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain through innovative infrastructure and banking solutions. GSX’s flagship Global Settlement Protocol supports over 21 blockchains, enabling seamless integration and staking for tokenized assets. The company has established partnerships with key players in Europe, North America, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, fostering a trusted network for financial institutions, tokenization protocols, family offices, commodity brokers, and private equity funds. With a team of industry veterans and visionary technologists, GSX is committed to pioneering the next wave of financial innovation while prioritizing security and regulatory compliance.
Unlocking Liquidity Through Tokenization
GSX's platform enables the conversion of real-world assets into digital tokens through a secure and compliant process, tapping into a market projected to reach $10 trillion by 2030. The current tokenized asset market, valued at $118 billion, is rapidly growing, and GSX is at the forefront of this revolution. By leveraging blockchain technology, GSX allows asset owners to fractionalize high-value assets, making them accessible to a broader range of investors. For example, a single property or commodity can now be divided into digital tokens, enabling investors worldwide to own a fraction of assets that were once out of reach.
The platform’s Interchain Liquidity Pools (ILPs) [2] are a game-changer, enabling tokenized assets to be staked and utilized across multiple blockchain ecosystems. This ensures high liquidity and seamless asset transfers, addressing the fragmentation often seen in traditional financial markets. “Our ILPs provide deeper liquidity pools, facilitating better price discovery and reducing market fragmentation,” said a GSX spokesperson. This innovation is expected to enhance market depth and create more efficient trading environments.
A Landmark Achievement in Latin America
GSX’s capabilities were recently demonstrated in a groundbreaking $75 million acquisition [4] of an operational oil and gas facility in Latin America, facilitated through its GSX Protocol. This transaction, completed in June 2025, marked the first time a fully tokenized capital stack—utilizing stablecoins and tokenized debt and equity—was used to acquire an operational energy asset. The deal, benefiting Feniix Energy [5], showcased the efficiency, security, and transparency of blockchain technology, reducing cross-border settlement times from days to minutes compared to traditional banking systems. According to Alejandro Uribe, a director at Feniix Energy, “The integration of blockchain technology in this deal achieves unprecedented efficiency, security, and transparency.” Kyle Sonlin, founder of Global Settlement, emphasized that this transaction serves as a blueprint for future tokenized mergers and acquisitions, particularly in emerging markets where access to traditional financial services is limited.
Innovative Financial Solutions
GSX goes beyond simple tokenization by enabling the creation of new financial products such as Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), futures, and other derivatives. These products expand investment portfolios and attract a diverse range of investors, from retail to institutional. The platform’s Automated Market Making (AMM) algorithms further enhance liquidity by supporting continuous, decentralized trading, providing stability to tokenized assets.
Investors can also maximize returns through GSX’s sophisticated yield optimization strategies, including yield farming and staking rewards. By staking tokenized assets in ILPs, users can generate yields, creating new revenue streams in a global marketplace. “Our platform is designed to empower financial institutions and governments to integrate blockchain and digital assets into their operations in a secure and compliant way,” the spokesperson added.
Modular Blockchain: A Flexible and Scalable Foundation
A key differentiator of GSX’s platform is its use of a permissioned, interoperable modular blockchain [7]. Unlike traditional monolithic blockchains, where all functions—such as transaction execution, data storage, and consensus—are tightly integrated, a modular blockchain separates these components into distinct layers. This design allows for greater flexibility, scalability, and customization. For GSX, this means the Global Settlement Protocol can be tailored to specific use cases, such as tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) or commodities, while maintaining compatibility with over 21 blockchains.
A modular blockchain [8] is an architectural framework that segments blockchain functionalities into specialized modules, such as consensus, execution, data availability, settlement, and interoperability. Each module operates independently yet cohesively, akin to a specialized toolkit where each tool is optimized for its task. This contrasts with monolithic blockchains, where all operations are bundled together, often leading to inefficiencies. For GSX, the modular approach enables optimized transaction processing, enhanced scalability through off-chain data storage, and seamless cross-chain interactions. The scope of this technology extends to financial institutions, family offices, and commodity brokers, who can leverage GSX’s infrastructure to tokenize assets, access liquidity through staking, and create innovative financial instruments like lending or derivatives. By supporting a wide range of blockchains and incorporating built-in KYC and AML compliance, GSX’s modular blockchain provides a scalable and future-proof solution for the evolving digital asset landscape. Celestia is an example of a modular blockchain [9].
The modular approach enables GSX to optimize each layer independently. For instance, the consensus layer, utilizing a dual PoA and PoS mechanism, ensures secure and compliant transactions, while the interoperability layer allows seamless asset transfers across different blockchain ecosystems. This modularity also enhances scalability by allowing GSX to integrate new blockchains or upgrade specific components without disrupting the entire system. The scope of this technology extends to financial institutions, family offices, and commodity brokers, who can leverage GSX’s infrastructure to tokenize assets, access liquidity through staking, and create innovative financial instruments like lending or derivatives. By supporting a wide range of blockchains and incorporating built-in KYC and AML compliance, GSX’s modular blockchain provides a scalable and future-proof solution for the evolving digital asset landscape.
User-Friendly and Future-Ready
Designed with accessibility in mind, GSX’s platform features an intuitive interface that simplifies the tokenization process for both technical and non-technical users. From initial consultation to post-tokenization support, GSX provides comprehensive assistance to ensure a smooth experience. The platform’s blockchain technology is also built to evolve, ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of the rapidly changing digital asset landscape.
By partnering with reputable entities and institutions, GSX creates a trusted ecosystem for asset management. This network, combined with its cross-chain compatibility, positions GSX as a leader in the tokenization space, particularly as the global commodity market, valued at $123 trillion, increasingly embraces digital solutions.
A Vision for the Future
As traditional financial systems grapple with inefficiencies and slow settlement processes, GSX’s platform offers a forward-looking solution that aligns with the growing trend of asset tokenization. Industry experts predict that tokenized assets will transform global finance by enabling faster settlements, reducing operational costs, and democratizing access to investments. GSX’s innovative approach is already gaining traction, with its ability to connect assets across different blockchain solutions and distribution platforms.
“Tokenization is not just about digitizing assets; it’s about creating a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem,” the GSX spokesperson emphasized. “With GSX, we’re building the future of real-world assets and commodities, one token at a time.”
