Hedera’s Asset Tokenization Studio has adopted the dual token standard adding ERC-3643 to enable institutions to launch compliant, modular digital assets on blockchain networks.
summation
- Hedera has added an ERC-3643 token implementation framework within Asset Tokenization Studio.
- ERC-3643 allows for a global modular approach suitable for jurisdictions other than the United States.
- Meanwhile, ERC-1400 is US-focused and targets stock and bond issuers.
Asset Tokenization Studio is an open source toolkit that helps institutions and fintechs leverage asset tokenization. Hedera (HBAR) is opening up the ecosystem for regulated asset issuance as tokenization takes root by adding support for ERC-3643 within its platform.
Hedera adds dual standard tokens
This update means Hedera now supports ERC-3643, which enables on-chain identity for more adaptable, interoperable, and globally compatible tokenization, and ERC-1400, a token standard targeting US-based stock and bond issuance. The ERC-3643 standard is intended for jurisdictions other than the United States.
The integration introduces dual-standard flexibility, allowing issuers to choose ERC-1400 or ERC-3643 depending on regulatory and market needs.
Dr. Sabrina Tachdjiann, Vice President, Asia Pacific Financial Markets, Hedera Foundation, said:
“The addition of ERC-3643 to the Asset Tokenization Studio gives issuers more flexibility and control over how they bring regulated assets onto the chain. It reflects where the market is heading: toward borderless, custom, standards-based tokenization that empowers adopters across all frameworks and jurisdictions.”

Asset Tokenization Studio’s adoption of the ERC-1400 implementation meant a US-centric approach. However, ERC-3643 provides flexibility, allowing global institutions to access a modular framework that gives them complete control as issuers.
This means that users within the ERC-3643 functionality can handle configuration tasks such as defining compliance parameters, populating metadata fields, and adjusting tokens to meet the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.
Hedera says this new model enables issuers to leverage tokenization by designing and launching globally compatible digital assets.
