JPMorgan Backs Blockchain Infrastructure Startup Ownera

Ownera, a startup building infrastructure to connect the tokenized asset networks of the traditional finance world, has raised $20 million in a Series A funding round from backers that included banking giant JPMorgan management firm LRC Group according to a story in Coindesk news. Ownera wants to connect the tokenized platforms and trading interfaces being launched by traditional finance companies. The platform is based on the open-source FINP2P protocol and supports any type of securities tokenization engine on any public or private blockchain plus traditional ledgers. Clients have access to a unified digital securities wallet that allows the user to invest, trade, lend and borrow against the connected tokenized assets.
