Midas secures $50 million in Series A funding.
The Berlin-based RWA tokenization platform, which has facilitated over $1.7 billion in asset issuance and received EU regulatory approval to cater to retail investors, is utilizing this funding round to introduce Midas Staked Liquidity, a specialized liquidity layer aimed at making instant redemptions standard for on-chain investment products.
Midas, another Berlin-based platform that tokenizes institutional investment strategies into regulatory-compliant on-chain products, has successfully raised $50 million in a Series A funding round led by RRE Ventures and Creandum. As a result, total funding amounts to $58.75 million.
Participating investors include Framework Ventures, HV Capital, Ledger Cathay, Franklin Templeton, Coinbase Ventures, M1 Capital, Anchorage Digital, FJ Labs, North Island Ventures, and GSR. The involvement of Franklin Templeton is particularly significant, as the asset manager operates its own tokenized government money fund (BENJI) and serves as a credible institutional indicator of the direction of the RWA sector.
Midas is addressing a key challenge that has hindered institutional acceptance of tokenized assets across the industry: delays in settlement. Currently, most existing tokenized products, despite being structurally sound, depend on traditional redemption processes that can take hours or even days. This delay creates friction for institutional capital managers, rendering on-chain alternatives less competitive with traditional systems. To resolve this issue, Midas is launching Midas Staked Liquidity (MSL), a dedicated staking liquidity mechanism that facilitates instant redemptions without compromising the underlying yield or disrupting composability within DeFi protocols.
Midas’s approach treats tokenized investment products as authentic securities, not stablecoin proxies. The platform transforms institutional strategies, such as US Treasury bills, market-neutral crypto basis trades, and private credit vehicles, into ERC-20 tokens (mTokens) with clearly defined investor rights, auditable on-chain performance, and a floating net asset value (NAV) instead of a fixed $1 peg.
This structural distinction is important; yield-bearing stablecoins have encountered regulatory uncertainties and risks of de-pegging due to the way they encapsulate investment strategies within a stablecoin framework. Midas’s strategy involves issuing tokens as the investment instruments they truly are and has received EU regulatory approval to offer them without a minimum investment requirement, positioning it as one of the few regulated RWA platforms accessible to retail investors across Europe.
The product suite includes mTBILL (short-dated US Treasury bills managed by BlackRock), mBASIS (market-neutral crypto basis trade), mHYPER (stablecoin strategies via Hyperithm), and a variety of Liquid Yield Tokens (LYTs) curated by risk managers such as Edge Capital, RE7 Capital, and MEV Capital.
These products are available on Morpho and Pendle, with Ledger Wallet providing direct access to mTBILL and mHYPER in its Discover section. To date, the platform has facilitated over $1.7 billion in asset issuance and has distributed $37 million in yield. The Series A funding will support further development of MSL, expansion into new institutional asset classes, and enhanced integrations within the DeFi ecosystem.
