Pantera Capital-backed startup Fission raises $10 million to help investors cash out of tokenized funds faster

New York-based startup Fission has secured $10 million in Series A funding to address the persistent liquidity challenges facing tokenized private funds. While blockchain technology has streamlined the issuance of fund shares for major institutions like BlackRock and Apollo, investors often face months-long wait times to exit their positions due to a lack of secondary market buyers. Fission aims to solve this by acting as an immediate buyer, allowing investors to sell their tokenized holdings and receive settlement in under 90 seconds. The funding round was led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Circle Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Ari Rubenstein. By automating the legal and trading mechanics behind the scenes, the platform provides a critical bridge for institutional investors, hedge funds, and stablecoin issuers who require faster access to capital. This development highlights a shift in the RWA market from mere asset issuance to solving post-tokenization infrastructure gaps. The startup, founded in 2024, previously raised $1.6 million in a pre-seed round and currently serves institutional clients holding tokenized private credit and equity.

Pantera Deep Dive on Tokenization: Issuance Is No Longer the Challenge, Liquidity Is the Real Bottleneck

Pantera Capital's September 2026 report reveals a tokenized asset market comprising 671 assets with a $331.8 billion market cap, noting a 13.3% growth in non-stablecoin assets despite a slight overall market decline. While tokenized U.S. Treasuries and private credit expanded significantly, the report highlights a critical liquidity bottleneck, as permissioned assets account for 59% of market cap but only 0.2% of spot trading volume. The analysis introduces a Tokenization Maturity Index, finding that most products remain simple on-chain wrappers rather than native hybrid models. Secondary market activity is heavily concentrated in open-access assets, while perpetual derivatives on platforms like Hyperliquid and Lighter have surged, often dwarfing spot market volumes. The launch of the Robinhood Chain mainnet in July 2026 demonstrated rapid growth in retail-facing RWA trading, though portfolio concentration remains high with 1% of holders controlling 95% of assets. Furthermore, the report identifies RWA-backed lending via protocols like Morpho as a vital utility, with private credit showing higher DeFi integration than Treasuries. Regulatory developments remain mixed, as the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate, yet the SEC granted a five-year conditional exemption for tokenized equity trading venues to foster secondary market development.

Pantera Capital: 81% of tokenized Treasury value is held, not traded

Pantera Capital’s Q1 2026 State of Tokenization report reveals that the total tokenized asset market has reached $321 billion, marking a 60% increase from 2024. Despite this growth, the report highlights that 77.6% of these assets are merely digital wrappers rather than native on-chain tokens. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have surpassed $12 billion in value, yet 81% of these holdings remain stagnant rather than actively traded in secondary markets. Pantera introduced the Tokenization Progress Index (TPI) to evaluate on-chain functionality, finding an average score of only 2.04 out of 5 across the industry. Stablecoins continue to dominate the sector, representing 91.6% of the total market value with $293 billion. While 168 new tokenized assets launched in 2025, most prioritize speed to market over deep blockchain integration, relying heavily on traditional custodians. This data underscores a significant gap between the rapid expansion of tokenized products and the actual realization of decentralized, autonomous financial infrastructure.

Tokenized Assets DeFi Integration Sees Limited Depth in 2026

The tokenized asset market experienced significant growth in 2026, expanding from $25 billion to $37 billion between January and July, even as broader crypto markets contracted. Despite this 48% increase in total value, a report by Centrifuge and Pantera Capital reveals that only 12% of these assets are meaningfully integrated into decentralized finance. The Pantera Capital Tokenization Progress Index indicates that 77.6% of assets are merely digital wrappers rather than functional DeFi building blocks. This highlights a critical tension between market scale and technical composability, with many assets failing to provide efficient redemption or protocol compatibility. However, demand for truly integrated assets remains high, as evidenced by RWA deposits in lending markets and decentralized exchanges tripling to $7.4 billion. Platforms like Centrifuge are seeing success with institutional-grade products such as Janus Henderson’s JTRSY and JAAA funds, which bridge traditional finance with on-chain utility. The industry's next phase of growth depends on improving redemption mechanics and pricing feeds to move beyond simple asset packaging. Ultimately, the data suggests that while capital is flowing into the sector, the supply of assets capable of operating natively within DeFi protocols remains a significant bottleneck.

Pantera Says $321B Tokenization Market Still in Early Stage

Pantera Capital's latest report reveals that the $321 billion tokenized real-world asset market is currently in a 'newspaper-on-a-website' phase, characterized by blockchain wrappers rather than native on-chain functionality. Using a Tokenization Progress Index, the firm evaluated 542 assets and found an average maturity score of only 2.04 out of 5. While the market grew significantly in 2025 with 168 new launches and a 60% increase in total value, 77.6% of these assets remain in the lowest maturity tier. Stablecoins continue to dominate the landscape, accounting for $293 billion or 91.6% of the total tracked market value. Tokenized U.S. Treasurys reached $12 billion, supported by major players like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and Fidelity, yet these products still rely heavily on off-chain ledgers and custodian-mediated redemptions. Pantera argues that the market is expanding in breadth rather than depth, failing to leverage the true potential of blockchain infrastructure. Future maturation will require a shift toward utility-based metrics such as settlement speed, reduced transfer costs, and deeper integration into decentralized finance protocols.

Hyperliquid shows how onchain perps could challenge Wall Street: Pantera

Pantera Capital reports that perpetual futures are evolving into a dominant global financial instrument, with the Hyperliquid blockchain infrastructure leading the transition of traditional assets like equities and commodities onto decentralized rails. By offering 24/7 trading, continuous price discovery, and simplified position management, Hyperliquid is challenging the structural limitations of traditional derivatives markets. The platform currently captures approximately 40% of all onchain perpetual futures volume, marking a significant shift as decentralized exchange volumes have climbed to 14% of centralized exchange levels from under 1% in early 2023. This growth has attracted the attention of major traditional finance players, including Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), whose leadership is actively engaging regulators to establish a level playing field for onchain perpetual contracts. Hyperliquid has solidified its market position by generating $13.5 million in weekly fees, ranking it as the fourth-largest fee-generating protocol in the crypto industry. This trend reflects a broader institutional movement toward tokenizing traditional investment products to enable instant settlement and continuous market access. The integration of these assets into blockchain wrappers signals a potential tectonic shift in how global financial markets operate, moving away from legacy settlement cycles toward always-on, onchain infrastructure.
