Wormhole has arose as a leading multichain protocol, processing $17.6 billion in volume by 2025 and surpassing $70 billion in total transactions.

Institutional players deploy real-world assets through the wormhole infrastructure
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund expanded its operations across Solana and BNB Chain using Wormhole’s multichain infrastructure.
Securitize enabled the tokenization process for this expansion, marking a notable milestone in institutional cryptocurrency adoption.
Apollo Global selected Wormhole through Securitize for the multichain tokenization of its Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund, known as ACRED.
This selection demonstrates growing confidence in Worhole’s ability to process regulated financial products across multiple blockchain networks.
VanEck launched its first tokenized treasury fund that includes Solana, Avalanche, BNB Chain and Ethereum. The asset manager relied on Securitize for tokenization, while Wormhole provided the necessary interoperability between chains. “2025 marked a clear shift in the way institutions approached multi-chain systems,Wormhole noted in its annual report.
Hamilton Lane expanded its flagship SCOPE fund into Optimism and Ethereum via Securitize, appointing Wormhole as the exclusive interoperability provider.
Meanwhile, Transfero Group has adopted Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard to expand BRZ, the world’s largest non-USD stablecoin, across multiple chains.
Mercado Bitcoin, a leading Latin American digital asset platform, selected Wormhole as the exclusive interoperability provider for a tokenized asset platform supporting over $200 million in assets.
NTT Standard features over 100 stablecoin and major asset tokens
Wormhole’s NTT standard gained significant traction in 2025, with more than 100 tokens launched across more than 40 chains.
These tokens represented a combined market capitalization of over $170 billion, establishing NTT as a multi-chain asset issuance infrastructure.
“NTT became the best infrastructure for issuing multichain assets without disrupting liquidity, fragmenting supply, or losing control of the issuer.” the protocol stated.
Ripple’s RLUSD, regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, has adopted the NTT standard for expansion to Base, Optimism, Ink and Unichain.
Sky Ecosystem’s USDS expanded to Solana via Wormhole NTT, transferring more than $880 million to the multichain economy.
M0, a decentralized stablecoin infrastructure layer, extended to Arbitrum, Base, Solana and Optimism using NTT. This enabled day one native multichain launches for assets including MetaMask’s mUSD and Noble’s USDN.
Mento Labs has selected Wormhole as its exclusive interoperability provider for multichain trading between more than 17 stablecoins. The platform emphasized that stablecoins “became one of the clearest signals of maturity in multiple chains” during the year.
In addition to stablecoins, large assets have used NTT for multi-chain expansion. Stacks brought sBTC and STX via Solana and Sui Network.
DOGE became a canonical multichain asset through NTT, while Hyperliquid’s HYPE expanded to Solana and Unichain. Lido Finance expanded wstETH to BNB Chain after community approval.
The Uniswap Foundation partnered with Wormhole to enable native access to assets like SOL and HYPE on Unichain. Ethereum remained the leading destination chain with $4.5 billion inflows, closely followed by Solana and BNB Chain.
