LayerZero (ZRO) Up 22% After Libre Collaboration

Libre, the world’s first fully on-chain infrastructure for regulated real-world assets (RWA), announced Thursday a partnership with LayerZero. This interoperability protocol aims to be a foundational layer that connects all blocks. The latest collaboration will allow institution funds launched via Libre to operate seamlessly across over 120 blockchains supported by LayerZero, such as Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, etc.

Following the announcement, ZRO experienced a price surge of over 22%, hitting $3.04. Its trading volume was approximately $182.6 million, which signifies strong investor interest driven by the recent integration.

Strategic Partnership 

According to the protocol, the partnership will boost multi-chain liquidity, ensure adherence to regulations, and streamline processes—enabling RWAs to exist entirely on-chain with effortless cross-network connectivity. Leveraging LayerZero’s interoperability and the Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) framework—which extends the ERC-20 model to over 120 networks—Libre guarantees that its tokenized assets, exclusive to accredited and institutional investors, remain synchronized with one consolidated supply across every integrated blockchain.

Commenting on the latest development, Co-Founder & CEO of Libre Capital, Avtar Sehra, said:

“The integration of LayerZero’s infrastructure is a pivotal step in our mission to bring institutional assets fully on-chain. By leveraging LayerZero’s messaging capabilities and OFT standard, we are ensuring that institutional capital can move across chains seamlessly, securely, and in full compliance with regulatory standards.”

The collaboration came amid a surge of institutional interest in digital assets. By teaming up with LayerZero, Libre empowers institutions to seamlessly issue, move, and oversee assets across leading blockchain networks, breaking down long-standing liquidity and cross-chain compatibility obstacles.

The protocol also expands institutional access to alternative investment funds, which supports additional features such as collateralized lending and automated rebalancing. Throughout 2025, the Libre Gateway will roll out new offerings aimed at optimizing on-chain asset oversight, streamlining secondary market trading, and broadening the reach of collateral-backed lending tools. Meanwhile, access to the protocol’s tokenized investment products remains limited to institutional and accredited participants. 

As part of the partnership, Libre’s integration with LayerZero will be introduced in stages, beginning with implementing LayerZero’s messaging protocol and Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard to enable cross-chain fund issuance and asset transfers. Additionally, Libre plans to deploy a dedicated LayerZero Endpoint on its AppChain, further enhancing its infrastructure with greater security, scalability, and cross-network compatibility.

The collaboration positions Libre as the first institutional issuer of RWAs accessible across all major blockchains while reinforcing LayerZero’s leadership in powering secure, interoperable solutions for institutional-grade digital finance.

Seamless Transaction Via Libre

According to the announcement, with over 140 million cross-chain messages processed and $65 billion in transaction volume—all without a single security breach—LayerZero stands as the most reliable interoperability solution in the industry. Through its integration with Libre, institutional users can now take advantage of seamless value transfers across blockchains, with zero slippage and costs limited to gas fees.

“Libre is how institutions engage with tokenized assets. LayerZero is excited to provide the infrastructure to make it possible institutions to use every type of blockspace imaginable. With this integration, we are ensuring that institutional capital isn’t just coming on chain—it’s available across all chains,” Bryan Pellegrino, co-founder & CEO of LayerZero, said.
