In a significant milestone, Swarm, a pioneering platform for real-world asset tokenization, has announced its SMT token listing on Uphold's market, effective May 16. This strategic partnership aims to bridge the gap between decentralized trading and tokens backed by real-world value. With regulators tightening rules on crypto trading, token issuance, and ownership, the Swarm-Uphold collaboration offers a regulated and secure platform for investors.

Swarm Market, launched in 2019, has been at the forefront of asset tokenization, allowing users to gain exposure to real-world stocks and businesses through tokenized assets. This innovative approach has gained traction, especially in 2024, with interest in Real-World Assets (RWA) surging. Swarm's platform, powered by Polygon, offers diversification across multiple asset classes, appealing to both crypto natives and mainstream investors.

The SMT token, currently trading at $0.54, aims to recover its price after peaking at an all-time high of $1.17 in early April. Despite being a relatively late arrival in the market, SMT has the potential for significant upside, with its regulated trading experience and valuable partnership with Uphold setting it apart.

Uphold, a transparent and compliant platform, offers secure storage through its vaults, recently adding a Bitcoin vault. As part of the infrastructure connecting traditional finance and blockchain assets, Uphold actively selects and lists digital coins and tokens, linking to 28 other trading venues, including decentralized exchanges. With the listing of SMT, Uphold aims to bring Swarm's token to a wider audience, reaching 10 million investors and beyond.
