‍InvestaX is the first builder in the Real World Asset Tokens (RWA) industry in Asia since 2018. We're now at the forefront of the RWA industry with the leading Singapore-licensed tokenization Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for the issuance, trading, and custody of RWA tokens.

Together with IX Swap, our sister platform, we offer comprehensive solutions for tokenizing real-world assets. Our services span the entire RWA token lifecycle, from advisory, issuance, primary offering, secondary trading, swapping, and liquidity pools of RWA tokens, with more innovative products and services under development.

In this article, we share our journey to pave the way for a tokenized future.

Let’s dive in!

InvestaX - an Innovative Pioneer In The RWA Space

As an early player building the infrastructure that every investment firm needs to tokenize real world assets, we believe continuous research, development, and delivery of products that incorporate compliance and innovation is key.

1. First Licensed Tokenization SaaS offering in Asia

InvestaX provides the 1st licensed tokenization SaaS platform in Asia for the issuance, trading, and custody of RWA tokens in a legally compliant manner. Since our founding in 2015, we have been:

• Granted Exchange License (RMO) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
• Granted Capital Markets Services License (CMS) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
• Obtained IPA for Digital Asset Regulated Exchange licenses in the Bahamas

Through our platform, InvestaX as an asset tokenization firm has enabled our clients to close over 45 transactions and raise over $80M.

2. World’s 1st legal and compliant Automated Market Maker (AMM) for RWA

Our sister platform, IX Swap introduced the 1st legally compliant Automated Market Maker for RWA tokens. The platform facilitates the world’s first liquidity pools for RWA secondary trading, revolutionizing the accessibility and efficiency of asset trading in the RWA space.

Check out this 3-minute video on how InvestaX and IX Swap cover the entire security token life cycle for issuers and investors.‍

3. World’s 1st Onchain Tokenized Portfolios 

Today we bring you our latest world-first offering, the Onchain Tokenized Portfolios (OTP). We believe this is a groundbreaking use of blockchains and smart contracts to develop new investment products and reduce the inefficiencies and costs of issuing securities “the old way”.

Our Onchain Tokenized Portfolios (OTP) offering, where we tokenize a diverse basket or index of DeFi investments, mirrors the functionality of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) but within the DeFi ecosystem.

Investors can benefit greatly from our OTP structure, gaining instant diversification, exposure to various DeFi assets, and improved liquidity and accessibility, democratizing RWA investing.

For instance, our latest OTP, CKGP, curated by a seasoned crypto industry expert, features a strategic mix of established and emerging gaming projects. Investors can now access promising GameFi opportunities with a minimal entry starting at just 1 USDT. The project has garnered over 350 investors participating in the game.

4. First RWA platform to integrate with Coinbase

InvestaX is the first RWA broker-dealer and exchange globally to fully integrate with Coinbase's Web3 wallet and BASE protocol. The integration offers seamless connectivity for all Coinbase Wallet users, enabling them easy access to InvestaX’s asset tokenization platform and paving the way to global asset issuance for millions of new users.

5. Singapore’s 1st IBF-accredited course on Blockchain and Digital Securities

To drive a thorough understanding of a blockchain-enabled digital asset economy, InvestaX partners with Momenta to introduce Singapore’s first accredited IBF course on Blockchain & Digital Securities, presented by our Co-founder & General Counsel Alice Chen. 

The course aims to give learners a structured and systematic understanding of blockchain technology & decentralized ledger technology, the digital asset landscape & its regulatory framework, and the opportunities of private markets. 

6. World’s 1st Employee Share Option Plans 2.0 (Digital ESOP)

Traditional Employee Share Option Plans (ESOP) are one of the most widely used forms of compensation, however, are complex and difficult to manage. They often leave employees unclear about their rewards, which can hinder retention and motivation.

Enter InvestaX, we pioneer the use of our latest technology to design a better, more transparent, higher velocity Digital Employee Share Option (DESOP) Plan to better motivate employees and drive greater productivity. 

7. Real Estate Fund 2.0

InvestaX’s Real Estate Fund 2.0 uses tokenized real estate tokens as share structures to offer more flexibility and new and improved investment vehicles for both managers and investors alike. 

Taking a look back at the history of public markets, every significant expansion of value was created when new technologies married a marketplace. Today, we observe a similar trend in the real estate investment arena. With Real Estate Fund 2.0, introduced by InvestaX, technology meets the challenges of real estate investment head-on.

8. First Tokenization of Singapore Variable Capital Companies (VCC)

InvestaX, UBS, State Street, CMS, Tezos and PwC Singapore jointly completed the 1st tokenization of the new Singapore onshore investment vehicle - tokenizing Variable Capital Companies (VCC) fund structures through Project e-VCC, which was funded by Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The project involved examining the technological, legal, and practical feasibility of tokenizing the Singapore Variable Capital Company using a blockchain-native structure. It also explored VCC fund shares issued directly on either a public blockchain or a private blockchain.

You can download the e-VCC report for more insights into the e-VCC project and reach out to us at support@investax.io for more information on how to set up an e-VCC fund.

Looking Ahead: The Future is Tokenization With InvestaX

The financial landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. The rise of digital asset securities, or RWA tokenization, is reshaping private markets. As per Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the value of tokenized assets is expected to reach $16.1 trillion by 2030, accounting for 10% of global GDP.

Take a broader view of the alternative asset management industry, where asset managers and digital platforms are increasingly exploring and adopting asset tokenization to broaden access for individuals who control over half of global wealth.  Asset tokenization stands as an effective solution to connect asset managers with a broader universe of investors and propel a multi-billion dollar investment industry forward.

It’s safe to say that RWA tokenization isn't merely a trend. It’s slated to be the vanguard of a revolution that transforms the investment landscape. 

InvestaX is well-placed to ride the wave of tokenization. With full infrastructure and licenses for RWA token broker-dealer platforms and exchanges, we're paving the way for innovative DeFi integration, expanding tokenized asset use cases, and building an interoperable digital exchange ecosystem for wider RWA adoption.
