Colb Asset raises fresh funds to bring pre-IPO equities on-chain

Swiss RWA tokenization firm Colb Asset SA has raised CHF 6 million in an oversubscribed seed extension round, helping scale its tokenization and fintech initiatives.

Colb Asset SA, a leading Swiss innovator in real-world asset tokenization, has successfully closed an oversubscribed CHF 6 million (~$7.3 million) seed extension round. The capital came from a private investor managing a portfolio of over $20 billion in assets, reinforcing institutional confidence in Colb’s mission.

The funding will accelerate Colb’s efforts to enable blockchain-based tokenization of high-demand pre-IPO equity, including high-demand pre-IPO equity opportunities.

The firm also aims to tokenize institutional-grade Swiss wealth strategies and select investment funds, targeting fast-growing markets and on-chain treasury managers seeking access to premium assets traditionally reserved for private or institutional investors.

Redefining ‘what’s possible in capital formation’

The investment will also support Colb’s strategic expansion into emerging markets, where the firm plans to bring geo-economically strategic sectors, such as energy, infrastructure, utilities, and agribusiness — on-chain. These industries, vital to global development and resilience, offer strong growth potential and align with Colb’s mission to democratize access to historically exclusive assets.

“Our ecosystem redefines what’s possible in capital formation. We’re blending the prestige and rigor of traditional finance with the openness and velocity of blockchain to unlock institutional-quality investments for a global, decentralized audience,” said Yulgan Lira, CEO of Colb Asset SA.

Beyond asset tokenization, the funds will also support the growth of Colb’s fintech infrastructure. Key initiatives include the development of cross-border blockchain-based payment rails and advancing adoption of USC, its compliant, yield-bearing stablecoin.
