Led · Seed · Aug 2026
Byzanlink develops infrastructure to support tokenized finance through its BTOS (Byzanlink Tokenisation Operating System) and RWA Markets products. The project emphasizes a modular, multi-chain approach and has launched across ecosystems including Hedera, Kaia Chain and Solana. Byzanlink announced a strategic collaboration with Hedera in July 2025 and has been onboarding institutional clients while expanding ecosystem integrations. The company raised $1 million in a private seed round in June 2025 to accelerate product development, deepen integrations, and strengthen compliance and operations. Founder Anbu Kannappan has positioned the seed funding as the foundation for the platform’s subsequent launches and partnerships.
