Libre, a new zero-knowledge Layer 2 chain built on Polygon CDK, has launched a platform that enables the tokenization of financial assets from major institutions like Brevan Howard and BlackRock.​ This development allows investors to access tokenized versions of funds from these firms.​ Libre's architecture, made possible by Polygon CDK, provides a compliant and transparent avenue for financial institutions to tokenize alternative assets.​ The platform aims to unlock untapped assets under management by creating digitally native funds with broader access for eligible investors.​ Libre Gateway is the next milestone to enable interoperability with other protocols and eventually connect to the AggLayer.​
