- COTI has partnered with real-world asset tokenization platform Zoniqx to integrate its programmable privacy technology into its infrastructure.
- The joint initiative will enable compliant, privacy-preserving real-world asset issuance and settlement on-chain.
COTI has partnered with Silicon Valley-based fintech Zoniqx to embed its programmable privacy technology into the latter’s tokenization infrastructure. The partnership will facilitate privacy-protecting and regulatory tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), a developing field in institutional finance.
Zoniqx provides a complete RWA tokenization infrastructure with support for equity, debt, real estate, funds, and energy assets. The platform integrates regulatory standards within smart contracts. This enables enforcing KYC, KYB, and jurisdiction-specific regulations on a token basis. It is also useful in ensuring regulatory conformity across chains and jurisdictions.

COTI will implement its Garbled Circuits (GC) privacy layer in the platform of Zoniqx. The GC Layer, as a result, will ensure that sensitive financial information is secured without compromising institutional compliance. In addition, it is EVM compatible and is 3,000 times faster than rivals. It also saves on resources, hence it can be scaled to large enterprise use.
Together, both firms aim to launch the first privacy-enabled RWA tokens on public blockchains. The initial phase includes a pilot program. This will later expand to onboard institutional users and enterprises that require confidential asset workflows.
COTI Targets Institutions With Privacy Tools and Network Upgrades
According to the COTI Foundation, the integration is part of its bigger objective of offering a scalable and compliant privacy infrastructure. As we reported earlier, the foundation will be updating the COTI Treasury, with Node V2 coming online in 2026. This upgrade will make the network’s governance decentralized and community-based.
Zoniqx has established its position as the leading platform powering institutional-grade tokenization. It enables users to issue tokens, distribute them and gives access to secondary markets through broker-dealers, DeFi platforms and regulated exchanges. Fiat-to-crypto settlement functionality is also provided on the platform.
With the integration of the privacy layer of COTI, Zoniqx will provide an end-to-end encrypted issuance of assets, transfers, and settlements. The system enables selective disclosure, which enables the issuers and investors to comply with the requirements of the regulations without exposing sensitive information.
As part of its roadmap, the network completed the Helium mainnet upgrade recently. As CNF detailed, the upgrade boosts confidential computing capabilities across the network.
After dipping 7% in the past week, COTI has gained 0.9% in the past day to trade at $0.02102.
