Blockchain startup Real Finance closes $29M to build tokenized asset infrastructure
Real Finance has raised a total of $29 million to fuel the development of its blockchain infrastructure, aiming to support the growing demand for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The funding includes a $25 million commitment from Nimbus Capital and a $4 million private round backed by Magnus Capital and Frekaz Group.
The company plans to tokenize $500 million worth of assets over the next 12 months, which would account for about 2% of the current tokenized market. The capital will be used to scale its infrastructure, broaden its partner ecosystem, and onboard regulated financial institutions exploring blockchain solutions.
“Nimbus Capital’s decision to support Real Finance reaffirms that we are on course to power the next generation of global financial infrastructure. Having a fund with such institutional pedigree standing behind our mission, coupled with the support of leading investor Magnus Capital, is a validation of our work to date. With their support, I’m excited for what’s to come as we enable hundreds of millions of dollars in real-world assets to flow through Real.”
—Ivo Grigorov, Real Finance CEO
Global partnerships and institutional-grade architecture fuel growth plans
Real Finance’s blockchain is designed to serve institutional needs, combining a dual-validator model with a built-in risk framework and disaster recovery mechanism. The consensus mechanism involves participants such as tokenization providers, risk assessors, and insurers to support a compliant and resilient tokenization process.
“This investment reflects our belief in the direction finance is moving. Real Finance is creating the secure and compliant foundation institutions need to bring real-world assets onchain. We’re delighted to be supporting a team that is bringing transparency and trust to the next generation of financial infrastructure, and we’ll be with them every step of the way.”
Robert Baker, Managing Partner at Nimbus Capital
The company is also advancing international partnerships. It has begun working with banks such as Canal Bank in Panama and Wiener Bank in Austria, while building out a network of regulated financial entities across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Magnus Capital, which led the private round, echoed optimism about Real Finance’s role in the tokenization space. “2025 has shown that there’s real institutional demand for RWAs – and in 2026, we’re confident that Real Finance will be capturing a significant slice of that multi-billion dollar market,” said Matthijs Van Driel, CEO and co-founder.
The bottom line
With a clear focus on infrastructure and compliance, Real Finance is aiming to play a foundational role in bringing traditional assets on-chain. The $29 million in funding and growing institutional partnerships mark an important step toward building a scalable framework for RWA tokenization in global markets.
