Former CEO of MoneyGram Alex Holmes Joins True I/O to Accelerate Secure Payment Systems, Real-World Asset (RWA) Transactions, and the Implementation of Blockchain Names

/EIN News/ -- Carlsbad, CA, Feb. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- True I/O, an emerging leader in blockchain-based security, identification, and tokenization solutions, today announced the appointment of Alex Holmes as a Strategic Advisor. Holmes’s extensive background in fintech, global payments, and blockchain innovation brings invaluable expertise to True I/O at a pivotal time in the company’s growth.

As a veteran of the financial services industry, Holmes served as CEO of MoneyGram, guiding the global cross-border payments leader through digital transformations that bridged traditional finance with fintech and blockchain technologies. His deep understanding of payment ecosystems, risk management, and large-scale adoption will be instrumental in accelerating True I/O’s efforts across its flagship products—UCID (Universal Communications Identifier) and Blockchain Names.

Elevating Device Security and Tokenization Capabilities

UCID (Universal Communications Identifier) provides real-time device security and geo-spatial intelligence. UCID offers a universal ledger for physical and digital devices, enabling instant Proof of Identity and proactive threat detection. This revolutionary product is essential in safeguarding IoT networks, supply chains, financial services, and more.

Blockchain Names simplifies complex blockchain addresses by replacing them with intuitive, human-readable identifiers. Powered by IPFS, this user-friendly system enhances interactions with decentralized technologies—connecting wallet addresses, IPFS links, NFTs, and Metaverse assets through memorable names instead of cryptic alphanumeric strings.

 Together, these innovations form the foundation of True I/O’s vision to offer robust security, transparency, and scalability to industries aiming to digitize and tokenize real-world assets (RWAs).

Seizing the $12 Trillion RWA Opportunity

The global RWA tokenization market is projected to reach $12 trillion, presenting a significant growth opportunity. By leveraging UCID’s device-level security and Blockchain Names’ accessibility, True I/O delivers a seamless way to tokenize and manage real-world assets—ranging from real estate and commodities to intellectual property. With Alex Holmes’s leadership and strategic insights, the company is well-positioned to expand its market reach, forge new partnerships, and drive innovation within this burgeoning sector.

“Having Alex join True I/O is a tremendous milestone,” said Vincent Maher, CEO of True I/O. “His experience in steering MoneyGram’s digital transformation and his success in fintech perfectly align with our mission to secure and tokenize real-world assets. We’re poised to redefine blockchain security and compliance at a global scale.”
