Bitfinex Securities completes record $50M tokenized capital raise

Bitfinex Securities completed a record $50 million raise for Alkemya, whose token represents interests in a partnership that holds nickel assets.

Bitfinex Securities has completed a record $50 million tokenized capital raise for metals company Alkemya, marking the platform’s largest raise to date as it expands its offering of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

The raise involved ALKN, a tokenized security representing limited partnership interests in Luxembourg-based Alkemya Metacore SCSp, the companies said in an announcement shared with Cointelegraph on Thursday. The partnership owns about 7 million meters of 99.99% pure nickel wire, which the companies said was independently valued at about $1.64 billion.

Bitfinex Securities told Cointelegraph that the $50 million raise surpassed its previous record of $30 million for USTBL, a tokenized US Treasury product issued under El Salvador’s Digital Asset Law. The platform has completed seven capital raises and listed 16 assets to date.
