Cosmos has introduced the Cosmos Partner Network, a new ecosystem initiative aimed at helping financial institutions move digital asset projects into production through its Cosmos Tokenization Suite and digital ledger infrastructure. The network brings together service providers that can support banks and credit unions with round-the-clock payment and settlement functions, treasury management, and use cases such as programmable custody, programmable trade finance, and agentic commerce. Cosmos said it will provide the tokenization and ledger platform, while partners will contribute integrated services including KYC/KYB, custody, and compliance monitoring. Co-CEO Maghnus Mareneck said many institutions already recognize the potential of tokenization, but often struggle to move from pilots to strong real-world customer experiences. The network is designed to reduce the complexity of sourcing and integrating multiple vendors separately. The first group includes 17 participants, among them BitGo, Blockchain.com, Blockdaemon, Galaxy Digital, OpenZeppelin, and others. Cosmos added that partners will be able to connect across its public and private networks and take part in tokenized deposit use cases now under development.
