SINGAPORE, January 19, 2026 - Galactica, backed by Asia’s leading blockchain ecosystem, Kaia, and Indonesia's established shipping company PT Pelayaran Korindo, today announced the launch of Pegasus, its first tokenized bridge ship finance investment product on InvestaX.
Pegasus offers investment opportunities in vessels that were once beyond the reach of most investors. Addressing Indonesia’s significant ship financing gap, Pegasus enables qualified investors to participate in a secure, structured investment opportunity in one of the world’s largest maritime economies.
Strategic Backing from Industry Leaders
Galactica is jointly backed by Kaia and PT Pelayaran Korindo, two industry leaders bringing deep expertise to the shipping and digital asset space.
- Kaia: A leading Layer 1 blockchain platform that bridges Web2 and Web3 through its second-to-none business network with Asia’s IT giants, LINE and Kakao, ensuring fast, seamless, and secure tokenized investments.
- PT Pelayaran Korindo: A leading player in Indonesia’s domestic shipping industry with 30+ proven years of experience, $50m+ ship financing and 350+ clients connected.
Through InvestaX's secure and compliant tokenization SaaS platform, Galactica plans to further enhance liquidity and access by enabling fractional ownership of maritime assets, offering qualified investors a seamless and secure way to tap into Indonesia’s high-growth shipping industry.
Pegasus: An Innovative Investment in Maritime Finance
As part of its first offering, Pegasus will provide bridge financing for a LNG ship with a total cost of USD 25 million and a capacity of 145,000 CBM (Cubic Meter).
Indonesia, an archipelago with 17,000 islands, accounts for 10.8% of the world’s registered vessels, yet faces funding challenges and an aging fleet. Pegasus addresses these challenges by giving shipowners fast, efficient access to capital for vessel purchases and modernization.
Key benefits of Pegasus for investors:
- Strategic Importance of Marine Shipping: Indonesia, as an archipelago nation, relies heavily on marine shipping to drive its economic growth and sustain trade routes across its islands.
- Market Opportunity: A funding gap in the ship procurement market presents an opportunity for superior investment returns, backed by local market expertise.
- Expert Execution: PT Pelayaran Korindo, as Galactica’s local representative in Jakarta, will leverage its extensive experience to strategically acquire vessels aligned with Galactica’s investment criteria.
- Regulatory Security: Investments facilitated by InvestaX, offering compliance and transparency in alignment with Singapore’s regulatory framework.
Leadership Perspectives on Pegasus
“Pegasus is a prime example of how tokenization can solve real economic challenges,” said Julian Kwan, Co-Founder & CEO of InvestaX. “Pegasus provides shipowners with faster access to financing while offering investors a structured, high-growth opportunity in Indonesia’s maritime sector. This is exactly the kind of innovation we believe will drive the next evolution of capital markets.”
Young Kim, CEO of Galactica added: “At Galactica, we are committed to redefining ship financing. Pegasus allows shipowners to access much-needed capital while offering investors a transparent and structured opportunity to participate in a high-growth industry.”
“We are excited to announce our flagship digital RWA platform, Galactica’s first product has made its way to investors worldwide,” added Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation. “Kaia has added fuel to Pegasus’ business by offering our Web3 partner network and expertise.
