Real Finance has raised $29 million in private funding to develop an institutional-grade infrastructure for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The majority of the funds — a $25 million commitment — came from digital asset investment firm Nimbus Capital, with additional support from Magnus Capital and Frekaz Group. This capital injection will be used to expand Real Finance’s compliance and operational capabilities as it builds a comprehensive full-stack platform for tokenized assets.
The company aims to tokenize $500 million worth of RWAs soon, representing about 2% of the current tokenized asset market. While US Treasury products, private credit, and institutional alternative funds have traditionally dominated the tokenization space, emerging categories like tokenized public equities and money market funds are gaining momentum.
Money market funds, known for their low-risk and high liquidity, have seen rapid growth in their tokenized form—expanding roughly tenfold since 2023. Industry giants such as Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon have entered this space, signaling widening institutional interest.
Experts expect 2025 to be a pivotal year for real-world asset tokenization, fueled by increasing institutional adoption and clearer regulatory frameworks. Chris Yin, CEO of the RWA-focused blockchain Plume, forecasts user growth could multiply by 25 times next year, highlighting growing demand beyond traditional assets like government debt, extending into private credit, mineral rights, energy assets, and GPUs.
These developments indicate that tokenized RWAs are positioned for major expansion, creating new avenues for institutional investment and market participation.
