June 6, 2025 – IOST, a leading multi-chain ecosystem focused on Real-World Asset (RWA) infrastructure, today announced the successful completion of a $21 million strategic investment round. This pivotal funding marks a significant milestone in IOST's mission to scale its multi-chain RWA infrastructure and build a robust, compliant, and interoperable RWA ecosystem.
The strategic round saw strong participation from a select group of global partners, including prominent investors such as DWF Labs, Presto, and Rollman Management Groups, alongside other forward-thinking investors who share IOST's long-term vision. Their support underscores growing institutional confidence in IOST’s innovative approach and modular architecture, positioning the platform at the forefront of RWA 3.0 innovation. The investment was executed through a tailored allocation mechanism, designed to align incentives, support sustainable network growth, and further decentralize IOST's validator and ecosystem base.
This strategic capital infusion will significantly fuel upcoming product rollouts, deepen ecosystem integration, and reinforce IOST’s position as a pioneer in the RWA 3.0 landscape. IOST's RWA 3.0 framework introduces a groundbreaking modular approach that separates real-world assets into Principal Tokens (P-Tokens) and Yield Tokens (Y-Tokens). This innovative design dramatically enhances on-chain programmability and composability, allowing for independent trading, collateralization, and seamless integration into decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies. By transforming static asset representations into dynamic financial instruments, IOST is unlocking new possibilities for liquidity and utility in the digital asset space.
Built on a high-performance, EVM-compatible multichain architecture, IOST supports customizable subnets, facilitating compliant and scalable deployment across various jurisdictions. This robust technical foundation, coupled with strategic regulatory approvals in Japan and key partnerships like DigiFT, firmly positions IOST to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi. The platform offers a compliant and efficient infrastructure for the tokenization of real-world assets, addressing critical needs for institutional adoption and regulatory clarity.
Since its inception in 2017, IOST has been committed to innovation, security, and community engagement, consistently developing solutions that push the boundaries of decentralized technologies. With this new funding, IOST is poised to accelerate its development roadmap, expand its global footprint, and continue its leadership in shaping the future of tokenized real-world assets.
