[Blockchain News] Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) announced that it has joined the Project Guardian program led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), with the goal of exploring the widespread application of physical asset tokenization in financial markets. ANZ will work with Chainlink Labs and ADDX to focus on interoperability between private blockchains to enable token exchanges of physical assets such as commercial paper. Mark Evans, head of ANZ Singapore Branch, said that the bank is committed to accelerating the development of a stable and secure digital asset ecosystem to meet the future needs of customers in the region. Since its launch in 2022, Project Guardian has attracted the participation of many international financial institutions and is testing tokenized applications in fixed income, wealth management and foreign exchange.
