DigiFT’s $11M Injection Led by SBI Holdings

DigiFT, with founder Henry Zhang at the helm, raised an additional $11 million led by SBI Holdings. This brings total funding to $25 million, involving key financial players like Mirana Ventures, enhancing market reputation. The new capital will be used to expand regulated tokenized products and enhance secondary market liquidity. DigiFT continues its focus on compliance, supported by its partnerships with Invesco and UBS Asset Management.

Tokenizing the underlying assets—not just fund shares—fundamentally transforms how asset management operates, creating unprecedented liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for institutional investors. By bringing real-world equities fully on-chain, we remove inefficiencies, enhance accessibility, and set a new standard for how portfolios are structured, traded, and managed in a blockchain-native environment. — Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO, DigiFT

RWA Tokenization Gains Traction with $11M Boost

The investment demonstrates rising confidence in RWA tokenization, indicating stronger connections between traditional finance and blockchain. Collaboration with SBI Holdings and others marks a shift towards digital asset acceptance among financial leaders. The funding enhances product offerings and product integration with SBI’s global network, benefiting its regulatory stance in the crypto space.

DigiFT Mirrors Industry Trends in Fundraising Success

DigiFT’s progress echoes similar movements in the tokenization landscape with its previous funding rounds fostering expansion. Analysts view the recent fundraising as part of a broader trend in on-chain financial product legitimacy. Considerable traction among institutional investors, similar to other startups like Securitize, could signal increased adoption.

By leveraging past success and focusing on compliance, DigiFT sets a precedent for other firms seeking deeper TradFi integration in blockchain development.
