The platform offers services like regulatory reporting and legal document tokenization in a decentralized infrastructure. This means that securities filings and investor disclosures are displayed in a transparent, immutable and verifiable way.Its partnership with the Aptos Foundation integrates its blockchain and legally compliant tokenization processes to showcase the network’s ability to empower the RWA sector.If done strategically, this can pave the way for how blockchains can be supportive for regulatory-compliant financial instruments. In turn, institutional investors and capital markets may turn to Aptos as a way to tokenize assets securely and efficiently.🌐The big picture: This collaboration reinforces Aptos’ position as a network that can support regulatory-compliant financial instruments onchain. The network can also attract more regulated financial entities to build within its ecosystem as a result.&nbsp;As regulatory clarity improves and institutions look for compliant ways to tokenize assets, Aptos’ role for the facilitation of secure, transparent and legally compliant tokenization solutions can position it as a preferred network for financial innovation.&nbsp;Furthermore, the collaboration with Bluprynt points to Aptos Foundation’s commitment to bringing more finance onchain.&nbsp;As regulatory processes foray onchain, Aptos can position itself at the intersection of regulation and decentralization for institutional investors and long-term market participants alike.<h3>Ecosystem wins&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>Mereo launched the beta version of its creator rewards and social platform to <a href="https://app.mereo.xyz/">iOS and Google Play store</a></li><li>Aries Markets reached 11.9K daily active addresses on March 7, <a href="https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/projects/aries-markets">a new high</a> over the year</li><li>Native USDC on Aptos<a href="https://flipsidecrypto.xyz/cristinatinto/native-usdc-dashboard-DEQNk6">surpassed</a> 100M in native minted supply, Flipside analyst Cristinatinto shared</li><li>Echelon Market hit $166.28M in TVL on March 7, an all-time high for the money market and lending protocol (shown below)</li></ul><div><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F534daf8f-9c55-4a53-903e-dc060280efc5_1300x614.png"><div><img src="https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/2025/03/15/bd3ab963-6da0-4e99-a228-cd226eddcc90.png"></div></a></div>Source: <a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/echelon-market">DefiLlama</a><h3>The community is makin’ Moves&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>Referendum shared it was <a href="https://x.com/referendum_app/status/1899093718977712483">awarded</a> a grant from the Aptos Foundation for its onchain poll app</li><li>Hear from Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching and Propbase CEO Kevin Goos <a href="https://x.com/i/spaces/1OwGWXZbAAVJQ">talk about</a> the Fungible Asset standard and RWAs</li><li>Kana Labs released a <a href="https://x.com/kanalabs/status/1899835272239763529">podcast episode</a> with Aptos Head of Ecosystem Ash Pampati</li><li>Read about<a href="https://aptosfoundation.org/currents/women-on-the-move-celebrating-trailblazers-in-the-aptos-ecosystem">builders on Aptos</a> and their stories for why they chose the network to build on</li></ul><h3>Join in the fun&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>Want to dive into the ecosystem full-time?
