CertiK, V Systems and ZICO Sign MOU to Advance Institutional Tokenization Across Greater China and ASEAN
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, November 6th, 2026, Chainwire
CertiK signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Coded Solution Limited (V Systems) and Malaysian law firm Zaid Ibrahim & Co (ZICO) to support banks and other financial institutions in bringing tokenized financial products to market, drawing on the parties’ combined expertise in blockchain infrastructure, security and legal advisory. The MOU was signed at Cyberport during a session of the Cyberport Venture Capital Forum (CVCF) 2026 at Hong Kong FinTech Week.
Under the MOU, the parties intend to combine their respective expertise. V Systems builds modular, institution-grade blockchain infrastructure and tokenization platforms for banks, sovereign-level investors and regulated financial institutions. CertiK, the largest Web3 security services provider, brings blockchain security expertise, including smart contract audits, formal verification, penetration testing, Proof of Reserves, and on-chain monitoring through Skynet. ZICO is a full-service Malaysian law firm with an established practice in fintech, digital assets and capital markets, including advisory work on tokenized capital market instruments and payment systems.
The collaboration builds on an established track record in institutional tokenization and blockchain security. V Systems served as the technology platform provider for Malaysia’s first tokenized sukuk, priced by Khazanah Nasional Berhad in 2026. CertiK has also provided independent security assessments for blockchain systems delivered by V Systems for regulated financial institutions in Malaysia and Singapore.
“We see Greater China and ASEAN as key growth engines for institutional tokenization,” said YK Goh, CEO of Coded Solution Limited (V Systems). “Through this MOU, we are establishing a partnership to make blockchain infrastructure more scalable, strengthen security and improve cross-border interoperability. Closer collaboration between the two ecosystems will help us pursue opportunities across both regions. Islamic finance is one such opportunity, and Malaysia’s well-established Islamic finance framework gives us a strong foundation to build on.”
“Institutional tokenization is reaching an inflection point across ASEAN and Greater China, driven by growing appetite for real-world asset tokenization and cross-border capital liquidity,” said Jonathan Lim, Managing Partner at Zaid Ibrahim & Co. “Connecting regional digital asset initiatives requires aligning technical resilience, on-chain security, and multi-jurisdictional clarity. This strategic collaboration creates a powerful catalyst to unlock institutional participation and streamline cross-market execution for digital financial instruments across both regions.”
“As banks and sovereign-level institutions move tokenization into production, security has to be built in from the start,” said Esme Pau, Head of Capital Markets and Policy at CertiK. “Working with V Systems and ZICO, we aim to help institutions address security and regulatory needs early and prepare tokenized products for cross-market deployment.”
