Tokinvest, the regulated marketplace for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has announced three major milestones the first is receipt of the first full multi-asset issuance license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the complete sale of its first tokenized racehorse, and the close of a $3.2 million pre-seed funding round. Tokinvest’s $3.2 million pre-seed round, backed by VCs, family offices, and high-net-worth investors, including Triliv Holdings and Exponential Science, will fuel platform growth, regulatory expansion, and the onboarding of new asset classes, from property to funds to commodities and beyond.
With its licence in hand, Tokinvest is now one of the few platforms globally authorized to issue and distribute tokenized real-world assets under a comprehensive regulatory framework. The company’s debut tokenization project, a world-class racehorse in partnership with Evolution Stables, has sold out entirely, marking a first-of-its-kind achievement in fractionalized sports assets.
Building on this momentum Tokinvest will soon launch tokenized property assets, opening access to retail investors the opportunities traditionally reserved for the elite. Early adopters can register on the waitlist to gain “Golden Hour” access, exclusive early entry to the platform before wider public availability. This limited window allows investors to secure priority allocations in upcoming real estate offerings, subject to regulatory approval and not yet available to the public.
Other assets in regulatory approval pipeline include commodities, funds and bonds. Scott Thiel, CEO & Co-Founder of Tokinvest, said, “We set out to make investing in real-world assets as simple as buying a stock. Securing one of the first full issuance licenses from VARA, closing our pre-seed round, and selling out our debut tokenized asset demonstrate both the market demand and the trust placed in Tokinvest.”
Alex Baddeley, CEO of Evolution Stables, added, “Partnering with Tokinvest to bring racehorse tokenization to life was a groundbreaking step for us. The response has been phenomenal; it’s proof that technology can create access and passion-driven investment opportunities that were never possible before.”
The debut racehorse token was issued on Polygon, a leading blockchain protocol with a clear strategic focus on real-world assets (RWAs). Polygon currently secures over $1.1 billion in RWA value locked, underlining its strength as the go-to network for tokenized assets.
