Tokenized asset issuer Backed said Tuesday that it has raised $9.5 million in a funding round led by Gnosis.
Exor Seeds, Cyber Fund, Mindset Ventures, Stake Capital Ventures, Blockchain Founders Fund, Blue Bay Capital, and Nonce Classic also participating.
With the investment, the company aims to speed up its private tokenization offering and onboard asset managers to blockchain rails, according to the press release.
Tokenization could offer benefits compared to traditional financial rails such as increased efficiency in settling trades, broader access for investors and lower administration burden. The market for RWAs could swell to $10 trillion by the end of the decade, asset manager 21.co’s report forecasted last year.
“Global financial markets are fragmented, hindering accessibility and efficiency,” said Youbin Kang, chief executive of Nonce Classic, one of the investors in the round. “Backed aims to solve these issues by bringing RWAs on-chain.”
