Tokenisation startup Midas raises $50mln in early-stage funding round
German startup Midas has secured $50 million in an early-stage funding round led by venture capital firms RRE and Creandum, with participation from a broad group of strategic backers. Founded in 2024, Midas focuses on turning traditional investment products into digital tokens that can be issued and traded on blockchain networks.
Tokenisation aims to modernize capital markets by enabling greater transparency, faster settlement, and potentially broader access through features like fractional ownership. While momentum has accelerated across the sector, the industry still faces regulatory uncertainty and rising competition as established financial institutions expand into digital asset infrastructure.
Alongside the lead investors, the round drew support from Coinbase Ventures and Franklin Templeton, as well as several crypto-native and fintech-focused funds. Other participants included:
- Framework Ventures
- HV Capital
- Ledger Cathay
- M1 Capital
- Anchorage Digital
- FJ Labs
- North Island Ventures
- No Limit Holdings
- GSR
Midas did not disclose its latest valuation. The size of the raise stands out for this stage. Data from PitchBook show that the median Series A and Series B rounds in Europe were roughly 14.4 million euros (about $16.6 million) last year, underscoring the scale of investor interest Midas has attracted relative to typical early-stage deals.
The company’s platform is designed to transform a range of investment instruments into tokenised formats that can settle on blockchain rails, with an emphasis on institutional-grade security, compliance, and interoperability. Early demand has come from crypto-native firms, but interest from larger financial institutions is reportedly growing as they look to pilot or adopt tokenised assets within existing workflows.
Proceeds from the round will be used to expand core infrastructure, enhance product features, and deepen integrations with institutional partners. Midas is also preparing for geographic expansion. While it does not currently operate in the United States, the company said U.S. market entry is on its roadmap and that it is actively investing in the legal and regulatory groundwork necessary for a scalable and compliant launch.
Founded in 2024, Midas is part of a broader movement among fintech and blockchain companies seeking to make capital markets more efficient by digitizing the issuance, trading, and management of assets. As regulators around the world refine rules for digital securities and tokenised instruments, firms like Midas aim to bridge traditional finance and blockchain technology with infrastructure that can meet institutional standards.
With fresh capital and a roster of investors spanning both traditional finance and crypto, Midas plans to accelerate development and partnerships in the months ahead, positioning itself to compete as established players and new entrants converge on the tokenisation opportunity.
