Axelar Integrates Hedera for Cross-Chain Interoperability and Institutional Onchain Finance

Axelar Network has integrated with Hedera, connecting Hedera's public network to Axelar's cross-chain interoperability layer. This enables secure token transfers and smart contract calls between Hedera and over 60 blockchains, supporting institutional-grade onchain finance and tokenization, trading, and yield strategies executed across multiple chains. The integration allows for secure cross-chain token transfers, cross-chain smart contract calls, deployment of interchain tokens, and unified liquidity routing via Squid. This framework supports institutions in moving capital, issuing tokenized assets, and automating yield strategies across networks while maintaining non-custodial control. Hedera's position in the market is due to its leaderless proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, deterministic finality, low fixed fees, and high throughput, making it suitable for tokenized money-market funds, real-world asset issuance, structured onchain products, and automated yield distribution.
