Kaia Investment Partners Joins $13.6M Strategic Round for Tokenization Leader Libeara
Kaia Investment Partners (KIP) has joined a $13.6M strategic funding round for Libeara. This investment accelerates our mission to build compliant, institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure and bring traditional finance and real-world assets onchain across Asia.
The Kaia DLT Foundation is excited to share a major milestone from our institutional-grade investment arm. Kaia Investment Partners (KIP) has officially participated in a $13.6 million strategic funding round for Libeara, a leading tokenization platform incubated by SC Ventures.
Led by global market maker GSR, the round brings together a powerful consortium of regional distribution and ecosystem partners, including Openspace Capital, Kyobo Life Insurance Group, Simsan Ventures, AlloyX, and Monk’s Hill Ventures.
Scaling Institutional-Grade Tokenization
Libeara is rebuilding capital markets onchain through a strict, compliance-first approach to the tokenization of RWAs. Backed by the innovation arm of Standard Chartered, Libeara has already proven its ability to operate at an institutional scale.
To date, Libeara’s infrastructure has supported the tokenization of more than $1 billion in regulated assets. This includes a top-rated tokenized U.S. Treasury fund and Asia’s first tokenized retail money market fund. By providing multi-chain interoperability alongside institutional-grade security, Libeara enables financial institutions and asset managers to issue digital assets seamlessly.
Strategic Alignment with the Kaia Ecosystem
KIP’s participation in this round underscores a core thesis of the Kaia ecosystem: the future of digital finance relies on the seamless integration of traditional assets and blockchain infrastructure.
Kaia Marketing Team
As the Kaia blockchain continues to expand its footprint across Asia, leveraging its massive user base to drive stablecoin adoption, the need for robust, compliant yield products becomes paramount.
Uno Lee, CEO of Kaia Investment Partners, highlighted the strategic synergy behind the investment: "Libeara is building the institutional-grade tokenisation infrastructure needed to bring regulated real-world assets into on-chain finance. We believe the broader adoption of stablecoins will inevitably drive demand for savings, yield, and RWA products, and Libeara is well positioned to support this next phase of digital finance in Asia."
Bridging TradFi and Web3
This funding round assembles the perfect combination of liquidity, distribution, technology, and ecosystem reach. By investing alongside major traditional players like Kyobo Life Insurance Group and leading venture firms like Openspace Capital and Simsan Ventures, KIP is helping to establish the standardized, compliant rails required for the next generation of global financial markets.
Through strategic investments like Libeara, KIP continues to execute its mandate: deploying structured capital to bridge traditional finance with the growing digital economy, ultimately driving sustainable, real-world utility across the Kaia network.
