As the blockchain world debates tokenization, Mintlayer is introducing a first of its kind tokenized equity fundraising model that merges utility, security, and ownership into one compliant framework. This system will enable startups and enterprises to raise capital through selling equity in their companies.
With this system Mintlayer will run its Pre-Series A round and for the first time investors will be able to access tokenized equity of the organization using ML, the Mintlayer native coin.
“Founders don't just need to raise money, we need to raise it in a way that aligns incentives and builds trust with investors. ICOs are a viable way to create liquidity, but often at the cost of governance and accountability. Tokenizing equity gives you both: blockchain's transparency with real ownership and aligned incentives. While others talk about RWA, we are doing it.” - Anna Macmillan, Co-Founder & COO
Building the Future of Tokenized Fundraising
The equity tokenization system is powered by Mintlayer Web Services (MWS), the company’s product studio that develops blockchain infrastructure and white-label tools for decentralized finance, real-world asset management, and now, tokenized equity offerings. Through this system, startups and enterprises will be able to conduct regulated fundraising directly on-chain, unifying traditional equity models with the efficiency and accessibility of blockchain technology.
“We’ve always believed that blockchain should solve real-world problems. With this model, we’re creating a transparent and verifiable method for raising capital,through verifiable technology rather than intermediaries” Enrico Rubboli, Founder & CEO
A Legacy of Bitcoin Innovation
Mintlayer has emerged as a leader in the space and spent years developing the technical foundation that enables Bitcoin to power global finance. Its innovations include native cross-chain swaps, staking, and RWA tokenization systems that preserve self-custody while unlocking capital efficiency. With its operations based in the United Arab Emirates, Mintlayer has established itself as a leading force in the region’s push to combine financial innovation with regulatory integrity.
As part of its expanding roadmap, Mintlayer continues to evolve its ecosystem through projects such as Interest.One (Bitcoin-backed real-world yield), RioSwap (Bitcoin cross-chain DEX), and Mintlayer Web Services (custom blockchain solutions). Together, these products reinforce the company’s mission to build secure, compliant, and scalable infrastructure for the future of decentralized finance.
The Pre-Series A marks the first live demonstration of Mintlayer’s tokenized equity technology, offering a glimpse into a future where capital formation becomes more accessible, transparent, and aligned with the principles of blockchain.
