Quick take:
- Tenbin plans to use the funding to build its “next-gen” tokenized asset infrastructure by making on-chain assets faster, more liquid, and “more capable than their off-chain counterparts.”
- Some of the assets it seeks to bring on-chain include gold, FX, and commodities.
- The announcement comes as the value of tokenized real-world assets excluding stablecoins topped $33 billion in 2025.
Tenbin, a real-world asset tokenization platform looking to bring capital markets on-chain, has raised $7 million in a funding round led by Galaxy Digital. The fundraising also attracted participation from Wintermute Ventures, FalconX, GSR, Nascent, Variant, Archetype, Bankless Ventures, among others.
According to the press release seen by NFtgators, Tenbin is building a “next-generation” tokenized asset infrastructure by making on-chain assets faster, more liquid, and “more capable than their off-chain counterparts.”
Some of the assets earmarked to debut on the platform first include gold, FX, and commodities.
Although there are several platforms focused on tokenizing real-world assets, Tenbin believes most tokenized assets are structurally inferior to their off-chain equivalents, with limited utility and scalability.
“Today’s tokenization models wrap assets without rebuilding the market infrastructure that gives these assets utility,” Tenbin wrote in a press release seen by NFTgators. “As a result, tokenized gold, FX, and commodities often trade with shallow liquidity, delayed settlement times, and on-chain price distortions that limit their usefulness as collateral or store-of-value. Tenbin was launched to solve this.”
“What impressed us about Tenbin is their approach. They’re not wrapping assets, they’re rebuilding the entire issuance and liquidity stack for on-chain markets. We believe Tenbin will play a foundational role in the evolution of on-chain capital markets,” said Will Nuelle, General Partner of Galaxy Ventures.
