Die Hedera Foundation is a partnership with Ownera receivedto expand institutional access to tokenized assets through a common digital asset protocol. The collaboration enables banks, broker-dealers and asset managers worldwide to connect to Hedera’s blockchain via Ownera’s FinP2P SuperApps platform.
This integration provides financial institutions with a plug-and-play option to connect to Hedera via well-known systems such as FIX and ISO 20022, making it easier for traditional markets to access. Additionally, Hedera’s infrastructure becomes compatible with institutional mainframes and private blockchain configurations.
Head of Business at HBAR, Gregg Bell, explained:
“The Hedera Foundation’s strategic partnership with Ownera reflects our priority to accelerate real-world institutional adoption of tokenization.”
He emphasized that this move enables secure and compliant operations of digital assets for regulated financial companies.
Through @OwneraIO – the global distribution network for institutions – banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, and beyond can more seamlessly access @Ivy.
This further enables Hedera RWAs with connectivity to FIX, ISO 20022, institutional mainframes, and private blockchains

A key goal of this collaboration is to reduce both technical and operational hurdles for institutions entering token markets. By enabling smoother interoperability via FinP2P, the partnership opens new liquidity channels for assets such as token money market funds (MMFs).
These assets can now reach a broader institutional audience, including parties that previously faced significant hurdles during the onboarding process.
Ownera CEO Ami Ben-David explained the broader vision:
“Having Hedera as a strategic partner expands this vision by combining institutional-grade infrastructure with the openness of Hedera’s public network.”
This collaboration also includes common focus areas such as tokenization, artificial intelligence and stablecoin infrastructure. These components are being developed to meet the demand for compliant digital financial products in global markets.
In early December, we reported that the Georgian Ministry of Justice signed a memorandum on the use of the Hedera network for its land registry system. This government-level implementation shows that Hedera is being used not only in crypto markets but also in real-world infrastructures.
Hedera also participated in more than two dozen global events in the third quarter of 2025, sharing updates on advances in tokenization, payments and related services.
