By Q4 2025, Velo Protocol will be fully integrated into Lightnet’s licensed B2B settlement engine, solidifying its role as the FX core for real-time cross-border payments. This move positions Lightnet as Asia’s first blockchain-native settlement bank, where VELO enables 24/7 currency exchange with speed, transparency, and compliance. In a region still reliant on legacy rails like SWIFT, this is more than an upgrade, it's a new standard. Why it matters: - Business payments across Southeast Asia will be able to settle in seconds, not days. - Real-time liquidity. Lower costs. Full regulatory clarity. This isn’t just DeFi, it’s decentralized finance with a banking license.

EVOLVE partners with Velo and Lightnet to pioneer an integrated RWA tokenization and payment ecosystem. Together, we unlock liquidity in real assets, bridging TradFi and DeFi in Southeast Asia with seamless PayFi and global payment solutions, driving financial inclusion and innovation across the Belt and Road corridor.
