Key points

  • Fission secured $10 million in Series A funding led by Pantera Capital, with backing from Circle Ventures and Borderless Capital.
  • The infrastructure aims to provide continuous liquidity and eliminate conventional redemption lockup cycles for tokenized private funds.
  • Fission has facilitated millions of dollars in redemptions across institutional products, including tokenized private credit.

Financial technology startup Fission has raised a $10 million Series A round led by Pantera Capital to build secondary liquidity infrastructure for tokenized funds, the company announced on Oct. 15 1. Circle Ventures, Borderless Capital, New Form, gumi Cryptos Capital, and GTS Chief Executive Officer Ari Rubenstein also participated in the financing 1.

Fission develops platform rails designed to let institutional investors redeem supported tokenized fund products without waiting for conventional fund redemption periods 1. The company noted that while fund issuers increasingly distribute assets on-chain, traditional fund architecture still binds capital to periodic lockups and illiquid settlement rules 1.

Solving On-Chain Fund Redemption Delays

Fission said it has handled millions of dollars in redemptions so far across asset segments including private credit and alternatives 1. The platform operates within institutional compliance standards, matching on-chain liquidity routing with investor eligibility limits and transfer restrictions necessary for regulated financial products 1. Fission plans to direct the proceeds toward expanding its asset coverage, boosting liquidity reserves through both off-chain and digital capital, and building out integrations across institutional platforms 1.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Shaffer stated that tokenization must evolve beyond representation to enable continuous liquidity and let investors pledge fund units as loan collateral 1. Franklin Bi, a general partner at Pantera Capital, said the missing operational step for digital funds is liquidity rails that unseat legacy structural frictions 1.

The funding arrives during a softer trading environment in broader crypto markets, with $BTC changing hands around $81,025 and $ETH at $2,365 at the time of writing.
