The two companies aim to broaden access to premium investments, such as real estate, according to an emailed announcement on Wednesday.

The initiative is also supported by major digital asset custody provider Fireblocks, which provides the multiparty computation wallets that safeguard the tokenized assets on Mavryk's network. This allows investors to trade and borrow against their real estate-backed tokens without having to manage their own private keys.

The funding round follows the $5.2 million raised by its developers, Mavryk Dynamics, in February.

RWAs tokenization refers to representing ownership of real-world assets, such as stocks and bonds, as digital tokens that can be bought and sold on blockchains.

Amongst others motivations, one of the proposed advantages of tokenization is generating greater liquidity through expanding access to a larger pool of investors. The idea is that a generally illiquid asset class, such as real estate, could benefit significantly from tokenization.

Deloitte has forecast that the global tokenized real estate market could be worth $4 trillion in 10 year's time.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

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.

Bilinmesi gerekenler:

  • 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.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push

Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.

What to know:

  • Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
  • Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
  • While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
