The Polymesh Association is excited to announce Black Manta Capital Partners (“Black Manta”), a next generation investment bank focused on digital and tokenized assets, is now a node operator helping to secure the Polymesh blockchain. 
‍

As a Polymesh node operator, Black Manta will perform essential operations to keep the public permissioned blockchain secure and functioning without the pseudonymity issues traditionally plaguing public chains, whose block validators are often unknown. 
‍

“Polymesh is a trailblazer in institutional-grade infrastructure for asset tokenization, and we’re thrilled to join the cohort of node operators keeping this promising network running smoothly,” says Brian Elders, Managing Partner at Black Manta Capital. “We’ve long-aligned with Polymesh on the belief that any asset can be tokenized, and strongly advocate for its approach to combine real-world identity verification with the power of the blockchain to help maintain compliance.” 
‍

Black Manta operates a regulated investment platform for issuances in the European capital market. As the first fully BaFin-regulated firm to offer Tokenization as a Service® back in 2018, the firm has a track record in successful issuances of tokenized debt and equity products of real world assets (known as RWA in DeFi). Originally founded in tokenization-friendly Luxembourg in 2018, the company also operates out of Munich, Vienna, Cork, and Shanghai. 
‍

The Black Manta-Polymesh collaboration will expose the Polymesh ecosystem to Black Manta’s wide network of clients and partners. Black Manta’s involvement with Polymesh will also strengthen the blockchain’s presence in the European Union (“EU”), expected to become the first global jurisdiction to formally enact comprehensive crypto regulation in 2024. 
‍

Tokenization platforms like Black Manta and layer-1 blockchains, including Polymesh, are poised to experience increased interest from individuals or companies looking to tokenize real-world assets, raise capital with blockchain-based financial instruments, and benefit from other security token issuances.
‍

“Black Manta has been leading in the tokenization space since its early days, with a clear grasp of the transformative impact of the technology and the regulatory framework for STOs”, says Graeme Moore, Head of Tokenization at the Polymesh Association. “We’re excited to have such an experienced player support Polymesh, improve its global expansion, and shape the ecosystem’s future at a time when the industry is gearing up to tokenize all assets.”
