Synthesys

Synthesys is a Singapore-based Web3 infrastructure company, formerly known as Equitize, building a cross-chain liquidity network for tokenized securities. Its unified "ONE" API covers the lifecycle of asset origination and distribution across more than 17 jurisdictions and over 40 distribution channels, embedding investor whitelisting and per-trade compliance checks into the transaction flow so tokenized funds and private securities can settle across ledgers under a regulated framework. The ZODIAC module lets tokenized assets interact with permissionless DeFi protocols while keeping compliance guardrails, on a modular multi-chain architecture bridging traditional finance.

In the ecosystem Synthesys sells infrastructure to asset managers, private funds and regional banks in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, positioning itself as a compliant liquidity layer connecting issuers, custodians and blockchains. It sits in the same arena as tokenization efforts by BlackRock and Franklin Templeton but emphasizes distribution and compliance rather than issuance alone, lowering the barrier for cross-ledger transfer of private-market assets. Its usefulness depends on whether custodians, exchanges and banks plug into its distribution network.
