Real-world assets and tokenized securities
Uranium Digital raised $16.5 million in Series A funding, led by Blockchain Capital with participation from existing investors Portal Ventures and Apeiron Investment Group, according to Fortune. The round closed in October 2026, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its electronic trading platform.
Founded in 2024, the New York startup aims to use blockchain to track ownership of physical uranium held in storage facilities and provide an institutional marketplace. Its proposed model would move trading away from broker requests for quotes, emailed contracts and offline delivery arrangements. The company previously raised a $6.1 million seed round in 2025.
Lombard Systems, formerly SemiLiquid, secured $4 million in seed funding led by Ethereal Ventures, with ALPS Capital, First Commit, Veris Ventures and ATKA participating. It develops financing infrastructure for tokenized securities and maintains the “delivery-versus-lock” standard. The approach allows assets to remain locked in their owners’ securities accounts while lenders receive an enforceable security interest evidenced by cryptographically signed credit credentials.
StableStock completed a strategic financing round at a $75 million valuation, with Amber, Nomad Capital, Flow Traders and Gate participating. The amount raised was not stated. The onchain stock-trading platform previously completed YZi Labs’ Easy Residency incubation program and a seed round in August 2025.
Stablecoin payment platforms expand
Latin American stablecoin financial platform Takenos raised a $7 million seed extension, bringing total funding to $12 million. North Island Ventures and Road Capital Management led the round, joined by existing investors Variant, Lattice and Reverie.
Founded in 2022, Takenos operates in six Latin American countries and processes more than $5 billion in annual transaction volume, according to the roundup. Its customers include LATAM Airlines, and its partners include Stripe, Mastercard and Visa. The new funding is intended to support expansion to more than 15 countries in 2027.
Brazilian stablecoin cross-border payments platform Bloquo raised $3.7 million in seed funding, led by Crescera Capital and Triaxis Capital, with Lattice Fund participating. Its platform combines cross-border payments, foreign exchange and liquidity services, supporting stablecoins including USDC and USDT. Bloquo is registered with U.S. FinCEN as a money services business and has applied to Brazil’s central bank for virtual asset broker registration; the application is not an approval.
