Digital Securities Raises JPY 300m in Series A Third Close
Digital Securities has successfully completed the third closing of its Series A funding round, raising a total of 300 million yen. This latest injection of capital brings the Tokyo-based FinTech firm’s total cumulative fundraising to 1.5 billion yen since its establishment.
The round was backed by a strategic mix of institutional and corporate investors, including:
- Japan Post Capital (via the Japan Post Capital No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership)
- Norinchukin Capital (via the Norinchukin Capital Strategic Co-Creation No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership)
- Horipro Group Holdings
Marketplace Expansion Strategy
Digital Securities, which operates the "renga" asset management service, plans to leverage the new funding to accelerate the development of Japan's first dedicated digital securities marketplace. Under its vision of "Making asset management the norm through a digital securities marketplace," the company aims to collaborate with its shareholders across a wide range of areas—from fund structuring to sales distribution.
The company's platform allows for fractional investment in high-quality assets usually reserved for professional investors, utilizing security tokens (digital securities) to lower the barrier to entry. The platform covers various asset classes, including real estate, solar power, aviation, ships, and corporate bonds.
