The initiative pairs OpenAssets’ tokenization infrastructure with the largest Latin American bank, working together on ANBIMA’s tokenization pilot.
OpenAssets, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider, announced a collaboration with Itaú, Latin America’s largest financial institution, to advance tokenization and digital asset use cases across capital markets through a structured use case within the tokenization pilot led by the Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association (ANBIMA). The joint effort brings together OpenAssets’ tokenization infrastructure and Itaú’s market expertise to move tokenization from early-stage exploration into practical execution.
The Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association (ANBIMA) is running a collaborative pilot initiative to test and standardize the end-to-end lifecycle (issuance, trading, and settlement) of capital markets instruments like debentures and investment funds on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) networks.

The collaboration is centered on the ANBIMA tokenization pilot, focused on exploring the tokenization of fixed-income instruments and investment funds. The initiative includes the development of technical proofs of concept, advisory on tokenization architecture and standards, and the assessment of operational and compliance frameworks to support the evolution of digital market infrastructure.
“The initiative of OpenAssets and Itaú is designed to explore how tokenized assets can be issued, settled and managed within the frameworks and standards financial institutions require. Brazil has been one of the most forward-looking markets in finance and it is a natural place to move tokenization from exploration to production,” said Gabor Gurbacs, Chairman and CEO of OpenAssets.
This collaboration reflects a broader principle in OpenAssets’ work: tokenized markets advance through practical pilots and shared infrastructure, not isolated experiments. Testing concrete use cases with the institutions that operate core markets is how tokenization becomes trusted financial infrastructure.
