Singapore, 21 August, 2025 – DigiFT, a licensed exchange purpose-built for institutional-grade, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), today announced it has raised a total of US$25 million to date—following the close of a new strategic funding round. The latest round was led by SBI Holdings, Japan’s largest financial group, with participation from leading institutional investors including Mirana Ventures, Arbitrum Foundation, Yunqi Partners, Polygon Labs, and founders and senior leaders of leading global technology and financial firms.

The capital will support DigiFT’s continued expansion as a next-generation RWA infrastructure provider—bridging traditional asset management and onchain finance through compliant, tokenized investment products. As a licensed exchange, DigiFT not only facilitates the trading and distribution of institutional-grade RWAs but also enhances their secondary market liquidity and on-chain utility, driving greater capital efficiency and expanding yield access for both institutional and Web3-native participants.

Leading the round is SBI Holdings—a Japanese financial conglomerate with a broad presence across the digital asset and blockchain sectors. Known for early investments in companies such as Ripple and R3,  SBI also operates a wide range of businesses spanning securities, banking, asset management, and crypto infrastructure, with a long-standing track record in fintech and capital markets innovation globally.

“DigiFT has the regulatory discipline, product maturity, and focus on real onchain utility to lead the convergence of traditional finance and Web3,” said Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO, SBI Holdings. “What sets them apart is their focus on enabling real onchain utility for institutional-grade assets—going beyond tokenization to unlock collateral use cases, embedded yield, and secondary market liquidity. This pragmatic approach to infrastructure aligns with the needs of institutional investors, and we’re proud to support their growth across Asia and globally.”

Strategic Use of Funds

The funding will accelerate DigiFT’s next phase of growth, with key areas of focus including:

• Product Diversification – Expanding its portfolio of tokenized investment strategies across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and digital assets

• Innovation & Research – Developing new on-chain use cases for tokenized RWAs to unlock broader utility across digital finance ecosystems—spanning Web3, payments, and other on-chain ecosystems

• Builder Enablement – Driving greater interoperability and capital efficiency via smart contract-based infrastructure, while ensuring compliance with the standards required by financial institutions and Web3 participants.

“This raise validates the institutional momentum behind tokenized finance—and DigiFT’s unique role in driving it forward,” said Henry Zhang，DigiFT 创始人兼集团 CEO. “We’re honored to be backed by both leading TradFi players and top-tier Web3 investors. Together, we’re building an open, interoperable capital markets infrastructure for the on-chain economy.”

Real-World Assets, On-Chain Utility

DigiFT enables traditional asset managers to reach new investor bases, while empowering crypto-native users to access institutional-grade investment strategies across money markets, public mutual funds, U.S. Treasuries和 private credit. Leading asset managers on the platform today include Invesco, UBS Asset Management, CMB International Asset Management, and Wellington Management.

The platform has also brought more diversified strategies on-chain, including the Peakwater Volatility Alpha Fund token (pEAK)—the first institutional-grade tokenized volatility strategy targeting cross-asset volatility returns across traditional and alternative markets.

Beyond tokenization, DigiFT has enabled new on-chain utility for institutional-grade RWAs—most notably making them eligible as high-grade collateral on digital asset exchanges for active trading and embedding RWA yield directly within payments cards to bring on-chain returns into everyday transactions.

DigiFT was recently granted Type 1 and Type 4 licenses by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)—making it the first regulated platform for institutional-grade, tokenized RWAs to be licensed by both the SFC and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), two of Asia’s most sophisticated financial regulators.

此次融资将助力 DigiFT 继续扩展其新一代 RWA 基础设施平台——通过合规的通证化投资产品连接传统资产管理与链上金融。作为持牌交易所，DigiFT 不仅推动机构级 RWA 的发行与交易，还提升其二级市场流动性与链上实用性，从而提高资本效率，并为机构投资者和 Web3 原生参与者拓展收益渠道。

本轮领投方 SBI Holdings 是日本领先的金融控股集团，业务覆盖证券、银行、资产管理及加密基础设施，在数字资产和区块链领域布局广泛，曾早期投资 Ripple 和 R3，在全球金融科技与资本市场创新方面有着丰富经验。

SBI 控股公司代表董事长、社长兼 CEO 北尾吉孝表示：“DigiFT 具备合规纪律性、成熟的产品体系，以及对真实链上应用的专注力，有望引领传统金融与 Web3 的融合。其独特之处在于，不仅仅停留在通证化本身，而是推动机构级资产在链上的真实用例，包括抵押、嵌入式收益，以及二级市场流动性。这种务实的基础设施路径契合了机构投资者的需求，我们很荣幸能够支持其在亚洲乃至全球的发展。”

资金用途规划

此次融资将推动 DigiFT 进入下一个增长阶段，重点包括：

• 产品多元化 — 拓展覆盖股票、固定收益、另类投资和数字资产的通证化投资策略

• 创新与研发 — 开发 RWA 的链上新用例，赋能更广泛的数字金融生态系统，包括 Web3、支付及其他链上场景

• 开发者赋能 — 通过智能合约基础设施推动互操作性和资本效率，同时确保符合金融机构和 Web3 参与者所需的合规标准

DigiFT 创始人兼集团 CEO Henry Zhang 表示：“此次融资验证了机构在通证化金融领域的强劲势头，也体现了 DigiFT 推动这一进程的独特角色。我们很荣幸获得领先传统金融和顶级 Web3 投资人的支持，共同打造开放、可互操作的链上资本市场基础设施。”

DigiFT 还率先将更多元化策略引入链上，例如 Peakwater 波动率阿尔法基金代币（pEAK）——首个机构级通证化波动率策略，覆盖传统与另类市场的跨资产波动率回报。

除通证化之外，DigiFT 还为机构级 RWA 赋予了新的链上功能——包括首次将其纳入数字资产交易所的高等级抵押品体系，以及将 RWA 收益直接嵌入支付卡中，将链上回报带入日常消费场景。

DigiFT 近期已获得香港证监会（SFC）颁发的第 1 类及第 4 类牌照，成为首个同时获香港证监会和新加坡金融管理局（MAS）两大亚洲顶级监管机构许可的机构级 RWA 通证化持牌平台。
