LayerZero Launches ATLAS, Backed by Citadel & DTCC

ATLAS is a bundles headless exchange for institutional markets, built on its Zero L1, for institutional markets matching, clearing, settlement and risk into one backend, so any trading venue can launch a market without building the infrastructure itself.


Zero, the high-performance chain LayerZero unveiled in February with Citadel Securities, DTCC, ARK Invest and Intercontinental Exchange, is purpose-built for tokenized securities, institutional DeFi and real-world-asset settlement. LayerZero pitched the effort at institutional scale, pointing to DTCC's $4.7 quadrillion in 2025 securities processing and trillions of dollars in daily FX and derivatives turnover as the market it wants to bring onchain.


ATLAS extends that push from infrastructure to a live venue, giving traditional finance heavyweights a shared onchain exchange for digital assets and deepening Wall Street's move into tokenized markets.
