The Tokenizer June 27, 2024

Raze Finance, a pioneering fundraising solution for early-stage startups, has entered into a strategic partnership with Texture Capital, a FINRA member broker-dealer specializing in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). This collaboration is set to provide industry players and investors with improved liquidity opportunities for their tokenized assets.

Under this partnership, Raze Finance will utilize Texture Capital’s SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) to facilitate the trading of tokenized securities within the United States. The synergy between Texture’s comprehensive broker-dealer services and Raze Finance’s innovative fundraising platform aims to establish a seamless and compliant trading venue for tokenized RWAs.

Tokenization of real-world assets is rapidly emerging as a transformative segment within the fintech industry. According to Citigroup, it is estimated that $5 trillion worth of assets will be tokenized by 2030. Bain & Company forecasts that tokenization could generate $400 billion in revenue opportunities.

Brian Anderson, CEO of Raze Finance, expressed his excitement about the partnership: “We are thrilled to partner with Texture Capital on multiple opportunities, including offering insurers a pathway for secondary liquidity for their digital securities. Over the last several years, the idea of potential liquidity for tokenized securities has been just a concept. This collaboration will offer Raze customers potential secondary trading opportunities, empowering them to maximize the value of their tokenized assets. Together, we aim to reshape the investment landscape and unlock new possibilities for industry players.”

Richard Johnson, CEO of Texture Capital, added: “We look forward to working with Raze. Our mission is to develop a new market structure for capital markets leveraging blockchain technology, and to provide investors with improved access, transparency, and liquidity. Working with platforms like the one Raze has built is a key component to unlocking the potential in the tokenized securities market.”

The Raze Finance platform leverages the power of tokenization and Security Token Offerings (STOs) to provide a robust system for raising capital and managing equity. Through partnerships with blockchain networks, Raze helps issuers comply with securities regulations while offering a streamlined, cost-effective, and transparent fundraising process. These technologies facilitate efficient cap table management, automatic distribution of dividends, and connectivity to secondary market trading. Embracing these innovations has the potential to significantly enhance access to global capital markets, reduce operational costs, and improve overall investment efficiency, positioning them as a crucial part of the future of finance.
