Private markets were hard to reach and hard to exit
Private equity and private debt usually come with high minimums, long lock-ups and few ways to sell early. Running equity and debt as separate vehicles across several countries adds more paperwork and compliance work. Aurum wanted to reach a wider base of investors, in more regions, while keeping every investment compliant.
One fund, two instruments, rules on every token
Zoniqx’s z360 platform issues both the equity and the debt interests as tokens within one fund on the XRP Ledger, and runs the fund from onboarding to payouts. Identity and anti-money-laundering checks, along with transfer rules, are built into every token, so only eligible investors can hold or trade them. The setup works across multiple blockchains, which keeps the fund open to a wide range of investors and institutions.
A $1B fund built for global investors
Aurum launched the world’s first combined equity and debt tokenized fund, sized at $1B. It finances ESG-first, AI-operated data centers across the US, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India and Europe. Investors get easier access to private markets and more ways to exit, and Aurum gets a broader investor base with less manual work.
“This development aligns with our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance liquidity, transparency, and overall investment efficiency for our investors.”
