**SettleMint Becomes Strategic Master Node Validator on XDC Network in Major Tokenization Push**
Belgium-based SettleMint has signed a strategic partnership with UAE-headquartered XVC Tech, the venture arm of XDC Network, to accelerate real-world asset tokenization across Asia and the Middle East. The collaboration comes as XDC Network’s tokenized assets surpassed one billion dollars in May 2026, with RWAs comprising over 71 percent of on-chain composition.
SettleMint will operate as a master node validator on XDC Network, deploying its Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform to onboard institutional participants and build compliant tokenized asset markets. The company joins major institutional validators including Deutsche Telekom, SBI Holdings, HashKey Cloud, and Animoca Brands on the network.
The timing aligns with explosive market growth projections. Asia Pacific asset tokenization revenue is forecast to surge from 398.7 million dollars in 2025 to 6.19 billion dollars by 2033, representing a 44.1 percent compound annual growth rate, according to Grand View Research.
