Brickken Empowers Asset Tokenization with $2.5M Funding Triumph

Brickken, a Barcelona-based real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, has closed a $2.5 million seed funding round that pushes its post-money valuation over $22.5 million. The company announced the milestone in an official statement, highlighting that it has tokenized over $250 million in assets across 14 countries since its launch in March 2023.

The funding round was led by prominent investors: Psalion, Ergodic Fund, SNZ Capital, Blue Bay Ventures, Mocha, and Hodl Ventures. The newly raised capital will drive Brickken’s European expansion and further its mission to transform asset management through blockchain technology.

Scaling the Future of Tokenization:

Brickken aims to take its platform up a notch through enterprise-grade solutions like new API integrations, white-label options, and AI-driven functionalities. Co-founder and CEO Edwin Mata expressed optimism on the growing adoption of tokenization, saying:

“We expect to see more financial instruments, such as bonds, equities, and commodities, being embedded on-chain. With growing institutional interest and improving regulatory clarity, the sector is poised for responsible scaling.”

As the official tokenization solution provider for Binance’s BNB Chain, Brickken continues to demonstrate its ability to lead the RWA sector.

Why RWA Tokenization Matters:

Real-world asset tokenization will involve the transformation of financial and tangible assets into blockchain-based tokens, which are then liquid and accessible to investors. Industry experts foresee this sector to reach 50 times by 2030, which would place it at the very core of the new financial system.

Large financial institutions are going to be the growth drivers of the trillion-dollar size, fueled by the technology’s potential to revolutionize liquidity and trading opportunities for traditional assets.

Regulatory Landscape: MiCA and Beyond:

Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, or MiCA, which came into effect on December 30, 2024, has little impact on RWA platforms like Brickken. Mata clarified:

“Our focus on securities tokenization is already governed by national securities laws, corporate laws, and financial regulations, making MiCA largely irrelevant to this vertical.”

While MiCA has been celebrated as a positive step for the crypto industry, concerns about overregulation persist, prompting some firms to consider innovation-friendly jurisdictions.

A Vision for the Future:

With its eyes set on the growing demand for tokenization, Brickken is at the forefront of driving blockchain-based innovation in asset management. The company’s commitment to scalability, compliance, and cutting-edge technology sets it apart as a leader in the European RWA landscape.
