Tokenized RWA platform Centrifuge announced a strategic partnership with IOSG Ventures on June 18, 2026, aimed at accelerating institutional adoption of tokenized financial products across Asia. The collaboration brings together Centrifuge's infrastructure for issuing and managing tokenized investment products with IOSG's network of institutional investors, financial organizations, and digital asset participants throughout the region. The partnership comes as interest in tokenized assets continues to expand across Asia, with regulatory developments in key financial centers, particularly Hong Kong, contributing to growing institutional exploration of blockchain-based investment products.
Centrifuge and IOSG Ventures Target Banks and Asset Managers
Under the agreement, the two firms plan to support banks, asset managers, and regulated financial institutions seeking to bring investment funds and real-world assets onchain. Centrifuge will provide its tokenization technology and fund management infrastructure, while IOSG will contribute its regional expertise, institutional relationships, and distribution capabilities.
The initiative is expected to focus on expanding access to tokenized investment products and helping institutions navigate the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding digital assets. Through IOSG's presence in markets including Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, the partnership aims to introduce Centrifuge's tokenization solutions to a broader range of organizations evaluating blockchain-based financial products.
The companies also plan to engage with regulators, industry participants, and distribution platforms as part of a broader regional strategy. Planned activities include institutional discussions, industry roundtables, and efforts to integrate tokenized investment products into selected platforms connected to IOSG's network.
IOSG Ventures Increases Centrifuge Investment Position
The announcement builds on an existing relationship between the two organizations that began in 2021, when IOSG became an early investor in Centrifuge. IOSG later participated in Centrifuge's $15 million financing round in 2024, supporting the continued development of the company's tokenization and fund management infrastructure.
Alongside the new partnership, IOSG has further increased its investment exposure to Centrifuge through additional purchases in the open market. The investment firm described its continued support as a reflection of confidence in the long-term growth of institutional onchain finance and the role tokenization may play in modern capital markets.
