Distributed ledger technology (DLT) firm R3 is moving to more deeply integrate its Corda platform with Microsoft's Azure cloud service.
With the expanded partnership, announced yesterday, the two companies plan to offer "effortless deployment" of Corda and its networks on Azure, easing the process of setting up Corda nodes and networks for enterprises, and thus limiting the time and costs involved in deployment, a press release states.

According to David Rutter, CEO of R3, the deeper integration simplifies the "development and deployment process," and facilitates the commercial deployment of R3's CorDapp applications.
Rutter continued:
"The platform gives companies complete freedom to develop and deploy innovative DLT-based solutions to their customers' specific challenges."
With the move, Microsoft is allowing clients to focus on creating "real-world business solutions, applications and pilots," Peggy Johnson, executive vice president at Microsoft, said.
R3, a DLT consortium startup with over 100 enterprise members, first announced its partnership with Microsoft in April last year. The deal provides consortium members access to 45 cloud-based tools on its Azure platform, over and above Microsoft's blockchain-as-a-service offerings.

During a panel discussion at Consensus in Hong Kong, Peach pointed to massive capital pools in traditional finance as ETF adoption spreads across Asia.
Cosa sapere:
- Even a 1% crypto allocation in standard portfolios across Asia could translate into nearly $2 trillion of inflows, highlighting how modest shifts in asset allocation could transform the digital asset market, according to the head of APAC iShares at BlackRock, Nicholas Peach.
- BlackRock's iShares unit, whose U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT has rapidly grown to about $53 billion in assets, is seeing strong demand from Asian investors as ETF adoption accelerates across the region.
- Regulators in markets such as Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea are moving toward broader crypto ETF offerings, but industry leaders say investor education and portfolio strategy will be critical to channeling traditional finance capital into digital assets.
