  • EDENA Capital Partners has raised $100 million from New York-based investment firm GEM to expand its government-approved digital securities infrastructure in emerging markets.  According to a press statement shared with Cryptopolitan, the Singapore-based blockchain firm said the funding see through the launch of Security Token Offering (STO) exchanges in Indonesia and Egypt, trading assets like real estate, carbon credits, corporate equity, bonds, and commodities. GEM, which manages over $3.4 billion in more than 500 global transactions, provided the structured investment to support EDENA through a multi-year roadmap.  The capital will fund the acquisition of carbon credit projects, develop a real estate pipeline through the BEK Group partnership, boost platform liquidity, and build technology infrastructure with partners UI Networks and Group KS. The investment could help EDENA expand its footprint into Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Africa. The STO exchanges will provide fully regulated digital securities markets in the said jurisdictions with tokenized assets starting at $10. EDENA Capital collaborates with GEM to step into Southeast Asia According to company officials, EDENA Capital plans to make Indonesia its ASEAN hub, owing to the government’s approval to create a regulated STO market in Southeast Asia. In parallel, a joint venture with BEK Group led by former Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab, will develop Egypt into the company’s MENA and Africa hub. The company is slated to launch its Indonesia STO exchange in the first quarter of 2026, aiming to generate initial revenues soon after, while the Egypt exchange will follow later in the year.  GEM’s commitment is a strong validation of our thesis that digital securities infrastructure, when built directly with governments and local exchanges, provides compliant access to emerging market assets. With this investment, we are moving from vision to implementation. Indonesia and Egypt will launch as fully regulated STO exchanges, with real assets in the pipeline. Wook Lee, CEO and Founder of EDENA Capital Partners. EDENA targets 20 to 30 STOs from both markets next year and has hinted at IPO preparations by 2027. The company expects to operate in more than 30 countries with over $10 billion in tokenized assets by 2030. EDENA Capital to invest in Indonesian carbon credits and Egyptian real estate In its press release, the blockchain financial firm revealed that a portion of the $100 million fund will acquire and warehouse assets like Indonesian carbon credits, Egyptian real estate, corporate equity, bonds, and commodities. The assets would provide immediate liquidity at exchange launch for both retail and institutional investors. Looking at the business side involving its own assets, EDENA’s token has been approved by the Indonesian government for listing on domestic exchanges. The company is an OJK sandbox applicant in Indonesia, a partner of the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia, and works as a cross-border digital securities joint venture in Egypt.  The company has tapped ERC-20 as the required payment method for STO investments with trading fee discounts of up to 50%, staking rewards, and governance participation. It is currently listed on eight exchanges worldwide, including Indodax, MEXC, BingX, Pionex US, Mercado Bitcoin, Coinstore, Mobee, and Pionex. Crypto.com stretch fiat access in Singapore with DBS partnership Southeast Asia closes 2025 with more developments in crypto infrastructure, as Crypto.com announced today an expansion of its fiat payment capabilities in Singapore, partnering with DBS Bank, Southeast Asia’s largest lender by assets.  The partnership will enable Crypto.com users in Singapore to deposit Singapore dollars (SGD) and US dollars (USD) through banking rails using virtual accounts for faster transfers to and from the Crypto.com App, adding to an existing partnership with Standard Chartered Bank. Introducing new deposit and withdrawal capabilities in Singapore enhances the Crypto.com App experience, making it easier for customers to interact with our products and services while supporting regional crypto adoption. Karl Mohan, EVP, Financial Services, General Manager International at Crypto.com General Manager Singapore for Crypto.com Chin Tah Ang supported Mohan’s sentiments, saying the exchange’s partnership with DBS would give its clients uncapped access to SGD and USD transfers in line with MAS regulations.
