Hedera’s Asset Tokenization Studio takes dual token standards and adds ERC-3643 to help institutions launch compliant, modular digital assets on blockchain networks.
summary
Hedera has added an ERC-3643 token implementation framework within Asset Tokenization Studio. ERC-3643 enables a global, modular approach suitable for non-US jurisdictions. ERC-1400, on the other hand, is US-centric and targets issuers of stocks and bonds.
Asset Tokenization Studio is an open source toolkit that enables institutions and fintechs to take advantage of asset tokenization. By adding support for ERC-3643 within its platform, Hedera (HBAR) is opening up an ecosystem for regulated asset issuance as tokenization takes hold.
Hedera adds dual token standard
With this update, Hedera now supports ERC-3643, which enables on-chain identity for more adaptable, interoperable, and globally compliant tokenization, and ERC-1400, a token standard for US-based equity and debt issuance. The ERC-3643 standard is intended for jurisdictions outside the United States.
Consolidation introduces dual-standard flexibility, allowing issuers to choose ERC-1400 or ERC-3643 depending on regulatory and market needs.
Dr. Sabrina Takjian, Vice President of Asia Pacific Financial Markets, Hedera Foundation, said in a comment:
“The addition of ERC-3643 to Asset Tokenization Studio gives issuers more flexibility and control over how they bring regulated assets on-chain. This reflects where the market is heading: toward borderless, customizable, standards-based tokenization, empowering 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 and allows global institutions access to a modular framework that allows them full 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 relevant jurisdiction requirements.
Hedera said this new model will allow issuers to take advantage of tokenization by designing and launching globally compliant digital assets.
