GEM Digital is a Bahamas-based $3.4 billion alternative investment group that specializes in the digital asset sector. It will receive TRRUE tokens in return for the investment. The company invests in utility tokens listed on centralized (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
The token is being offered at $0.10 on a number of launchpads, the company said on X, with a total of 300 million tokens being sold. Listing is planned for Dec. 27.
Trrue said it is dedicated to creating a blockckchain ecosystem that promotes transparency, accountability and sustainable investment opportunities, adding that the TRRUE utility token is central to this plan.
"With GEM's backing, we are equipped to accelerate our development, onboard impactful projects, and redefine how blockchain supports ESG-aligned initiatives," CEO Owen O'Driscoll said in the statement.
The funds will be used for product development, ecosystem growth and further exchange listings for the platform's utility token, the company said.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
