DigiFT, a licensed exchange focused on institutional-grade tokenised real-world assets (RWAs), has raised a total of US$25 million to date following its latest funding round.
The firm had previously raised a US$ 10.5 million Pre-Series A funding round in February 2023.
The latest round was led by Japan’s SBI Holdings, with participation from Mirana Ventures, Offchain Labs (Arbitrum), Yunqi Partners, Polygon Labs, and senior figures from global technology and financial firms.
The company said the funding will support its expansion as an RWA infrastructure provider, aiming to bridge traditional asset management with on-chain finance through regulated tokenised products.
DigiFT operates licensed exchanges in Singapore and Hong Kong, facilitating the trading and distribution of RWAs while improving secondary market liquidity, capital efficiency and yield access for both institutional and Web3-native investors.
Its platform features strategies in money markets, public mutual funds, U.S. Treasuries and private credit, offered with asset managers including Invesco, UBS Asset Management, CMB International Asset Management and Wellington Management.
DigiFT has also listed the Peakwater Volatility Alpha Fund token (pEAK), described as the first institutional-grade tokenised volatility strategy designed to capture cross-asset returns across traditional and alternative markets.
Beyond tokenisation, DigiFT has enabled RWAs to be used as high-grade collateral for active trading on digital asset exchanges and embedded RWA yields into payment cards to bring returns into everyday transactions.
The firm was recently granted Type 1 and Type 4 licenses by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.
“DigiFT has the regulatory discipline, product maturity, and focus on real onchain utility to lead the convergence of traditional finance and Web3.
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.”
said Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO, SBI Holdings.
“This raise validates the institutional momentum behind tokenised finance—and DigiFT’s unique role in driving it forward.
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.”
said Henry Zhang, Founder & Group CEO of DigiFT.
