Canadian Toyow, a multi category tokenized asset marketplace has secured a US$10 million strategic investment from Nimbus Capital, an alternative investment group operating globally, focused on emerging industries and backing high-impact technologies across sectors with strong growth potential including the UAE.
As per the press release, the investment fuels Toyow’s mission to democratize access to high-value real-world assets (RWAs), from real estate, art, films, music, and commodities, by bringing them onchain through a regulated, user-first marketplace.The funds will be used to scale up operations and regulatory coverage across the UAE and European Union; engage and onboard institutional asset originators and creators; expand tokenisation and trading infrastructure.
With a tokenisation pipeline worth more than US$38 billion and multiple high profile asset partners in real estate, music and commodities, Toyow is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of inclusive capital markets.
“This partnership marks a major milestone for Toyow,” said Surajit Chanda, Founder and CEO of Toyow. “Nimbus Capital shares our vision for a future where anyone can access institutional grade assets through blockchain. Together, we’ll scale the platform globally and bring real utility to the RWA space.”
This will also help bring further liquidity to the token post Token Generation Event (TGE) and increase product adoption. This raise reinforces investor confidence in Toyow’s approach, blending compliance, usability, and community incentives to unlock previously inaccessible asset classes for the next billion investors.
Robert Baker, Managing Partner at Nimbus Capital, said, “We’ve been following the evolution of tokenised assets closely, and Toyow stood out, not just for its tech, but for its clear commitment to usability, regulation, and creator empowerment. This isn’t just another RWA platform. It’s a bold bet on the future of inclusive capital markets, one where a teenager in Lagos and a fund manager in London can access the same high value assets within a few clicks.”
Tokenization is gaining ground across the globe and in the UAE as well as Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Ctrl Alt, a tokenization infrastructure platform, recently secured a Virtual asset broker dealer license as well as issuer license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). As of May 1, 2025, Ctrl Alt has tokenized over $295 million in assets, spanning real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.
UAE based Byzanlink, a tokenization platform bridging traditional and decentralized finance, also recently partnered with the Hedera Foundation where in the first phase the company will integrate and deploy on Hedera Network, the enterprise-grade public network renowned for its high-performance and energy-efficient distributed ledger technology. This comes as Saudi Arabian NTDP invested in the platform as well.
Finally 96 firms have shown interest in participating in UAE’s Dubai Financial Services Authority ( DFSA) tokenization regulatory sandbox. As per the DFSA announcement, the launch of the sandbox is part of DFSA’s strategy to support responsible financial innovation within the Dubai International Free Center.
