GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wormhole, a leading interoperability platform connecting traditional finance and the internet economy, has been selected as the official interoperability partner for SCOPE Access Fund, a tokenized feeder fund offering exposure to Hamilton Lane's Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE), through its partnership with Securitize, a leading tokenized asset platform.

Originally launched in 2022 as a pioneer in democratizing private credit, the tokenized feeder fund for SCOPE is now being upgraded with a suite of on-chain capabilities, including expected daily NAV pricing, instant subscriptions, on-demand redemptions and native issuance across both Ethereum and Optimism.

As the official multichain partner, Wormhole will seek to enable seamless movement of the new SCOPE Feeder Fund token across supported ecosystems, unlocking unified liquidity for allocators and composable integrations for developers, transforming SCOPE Feeder Fund from a static token into an interoperable building block within the broader DeFi and RWA landscape.

"Institutions are no longer just exploring blockchain technology, they're building with it," commented Robinson Burkey, co-founder of Wormhole Foundation. "What's missing is infrastructure that supports scale, compliance, and multichain optionality. That's what Wormhole provides. With SCOPE, we're proving that tokenized credit can grow securely across networks, wherever demand exists."

This milestone reinforces a broader institutional trend toward interoperability in tokenized finance. With the addition of SCOPE Feeder Fund, Wormhole now boasts over $3.5 billion in multichain tokenized assets under management (MTAUM), powering the next generation of multichain infrastructure across the financial landscape.

"We're seeing a clear trend: the largest asset managers are not only tokenizing funds, they're demanding infrastructure that lets those assets flow freely across chains," said Michael Sonnenshein, Chief Operating Officer of Securitize. "By combining access to Hamilton Lane's investment expertise with Wormhole's interoperability and our tokenization platform, we're helping shape the next generation of institutional finance."

By enabling multichain access to institutional-grade credit strategies like SCOPE, Wormhole is not only improving accessibility and liquidity, it is helping redefine how capital moves across the internet economy. With each integration, Wormhole brings traditional finance closer to a fully connected, 24/7, borderless future.
