Union Chain to Launch a ZK Chain

Union Fintech, headquartered in Singapore, has launched Union Chain - a blockchain platform powered by ZKsync and backed by leading regulated exchanges and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platforms across Southeast Asia. Designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto, Union Chain leverages regional licenses, fiat on/off-ramps, local stablecoins, and the reach of centralized exchanges to create a compliant, scalable infrastructure for digital asset issuance and trading. With access to over 20 million verified users and a total addressable market of 600 million, Union Chain is positioned to unlock new markets and use cases for tokenized financial products, payments, and enterprise adoption.

Key Ideas

Bridging TradFi and Crypto: Union Chain solves fragmentation and regulatory hurdles by integrating licensed CEXs, RWA platforms, and fiat infrastructure into a unified blockchain ecosystem.
ZKsync-Powered Elastic Network: The platform combines ZKsync’s scalability and security with Union’s compliance-first architecture, enabling seamless issuance, distribution, and settlement of tokenized assets.

Why It Matters?

Startups may have big success by designing new business models around tokenized lending, investment products, and cross-border payments. They should partner with licensed exchanges and RWA platforms to launch regulated offerings that appeal to both crypto natives and TradFi users.
