Participated · Series F · Jun 2026
Digital Asset builds and operates the Canton Network, a public, permissionless Layer 1 blockchain that provides protocol-level privacy and confidentiality guarantees and runs applications written in its open-source smart contract language, Daml. Canton is designed to enable tokenized asset workflows across multiple parties while keeping transaction data confidential, and it has attracted marquee institutional participants including Visa, Goldman Sachs, and DTCC. The network has processed or issued more than $6 trillion in tokenized assets according to prior reporting, and Visa became a Canton Super Validator and added Canton to a stablecoin settlement pilot. The Canton ecosystem has also seen activity such as a $540 million raise by Canton Strategic Holdings (formerly Tharimmune) to build a Canton Coin treasury and a project called Zenith completing atomic swaps between Canton and an EVM-compatible environment. On the financing front, Digital Asset raised $135 million in June 2025 and $50 million in December 2025, and is now pursuing a roughly $300 million round led by a16z crypto. The company is backed by trading firms and banks including DRW Holdings and Citadel Securities.
- Kresus
Led · Equity · Feb 2026
Kresus Labs is a U.S.–based blockchain infrastructure company focused on simplifying and securing digital asset custody while enabling compliant tokenization of real-world assets. Its core technology includes a "seedless" wallet-recovery system that removes the need for 12-24 word seed phrases, and multi-party computation (MPC) security that distributes private-key control. Beyond consumer wallets, Kresus offers enterprise wallet infrastructure that meets institutional compliance and operational standards, as well as platforms for issuing and managing tokenized versions of traditional financial products. The company’s tools aim to integrate seamlessly with existing financial workflows, allowing institutions to custody, transfer, and tokenize assets on-chain. Recent funding will be applied to scaling these wallet services, expanding real-world-asset tokenization capabilities, and building additional on-chain financial workflows. Hanwha Investment & Securities plans to leverage Kresus technology to improve its client-facing digital-asset services and develop tokenized financial products. No revenue, user numbers, or prior funding totals were disclosed in the article.
- KODA
Participated · Series A · Nov 2025
KODA (Korea Digital Asset) is a joint venture formed by blockchain firm Hashed and KB Kookmin Bank that provides digital-asset custody services to institutional and enterprise customers. Leveraging institutional-grade security infrastructure and an audited internal-control framework, the company claims roughly 80 % share of South Korea’s digital-asset custody market. KODA prioritises asset safety and operational transparency, maintaining a 300 억 원 insurance policy that it plans to expand to a 500 억 원 limit. The firm is currently undergoing PwC’s “SOC 1 Type II” audit to align its controls with global standards. Fresh capital will fund cold-wallet infrastructure upgrades, strengthened security and compliance systems, and expanded onboarding capacity for large institutional clients. Meeting the 100 억 원 capital requirement also positions KODA to qualify as a licensed trust company, broadening its regulatory standing.
- Amogy
Participated · Equity · Jan 2025
Amogy builds modular ammonia-to-power systems that crack ammonia into hydrogen and feed the resulting hydrogen into a fuel cell or engine, enabling carbon-free electricity generation. The company targets hard-to-decarbonise sectors, with current focus on maritime propulsion, distributed generation, and floating power infrastructure. Its plug-and-play modules are designed to integrate into vessels or barges, providing fast-deployable, high-density power. Amogy is now exploring the use of its technology on Powerships and floating data-centre platforms through a new partnership with Kinetics, a subsidiary of Karpowership. By pairing on-board ammonia storage with at-sea operations, the approach could circumvent on-shore permitting delays while leveraging seawater cooling for improved energy efficiency. The collaboration aims to serve multi-hundred-megawatt AI and digital-infrastructure loads, contingent on developing adequate ammonia bunkering and grid connections. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article, but management positions the solution as a key enabler for rapid, large-scale decarbonisation in high-demand markets.

Roboarte, founded in September 2018, develops cooking solutions that apply collaborative robots and operates the robot‑fried chicken franchise 'Rrobert Chicken'. The brand has used robots to cook chicken daily since February 2020 and currently runs 11 domestic direct and franchise stores while expanding nationwide. Roboarte opened its first Singapore franchise in June and plans broader Southeast Asian expansion. The company will open a direct store in Manhattan, New York, in November and was part of a presidential economic delegation to the U.S., drawing interest from markets facing labor shortages. Ahead of U.S. entry, Roboarte obtained NSF food‑safety certification for its frying robot solution to accelerate access to the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The company says it is also developing additional cooking‑robot technologies to strengthen its global competitive position.
