Former Standard Chartered and UniCredit Executives Launch the Institutional Liquidity Protocol Multiliquid
A significant infrastructural step forward has emerged in the world of tokenized finance. Uniform Labs, founded by veterans of Standard Chartered, UniCredit, and the digital banking sector, has officially launched its institutional liquidity protocol Multiliquid into production. The protocol is designed to address a long-standing structural liquidity problem in the tokenized asset market, whose total size already exceeds tens of billions of dollars.
At its core, Multiliquid enables instant, 24/7 swaps between large tokenized money market funds and stablecoins (such as USDC and USDT), without the delays inherent to traditional redemption processes. This provides institutional participants with immediate access to liquidity around the clock—an essential requirement for integrating tokenized assets into corporate treasury operations and portfolio management workflows.
The protocol already supports integrations with leading tokenized treasury products, including those issued or managed by Wellington Management, and is designed to expand into other regulated real-world assets (RWA) such as private credit and real estate. This represents an important step toward removing the barriers that have so far hindered broad institutional adoption of tokenized assets, particularly liquidity constraints tied to issuer-controlled redemption windows.
Multiliquid also arrives against the backdrop of evolving U.S. regulation—most notably the impact of the GENIUS Act—which updates the regulatory framework for stablecoins and limits direct yield distribution to holders. Within this environment, the protocol proposes an architecture in which stablecoins remain payment instruments, while yield generation is achieved through integrated, regulated financial products.
This is not merely another DEX or AMM. Multiliquid positions itself as an institutional liquidity layer that bridges the world of stablecoins and tokenized RWAs, potentially making it a core component of future financial infrastructure.
