Fintech startup Brix has raised $5.5 million to expand its platform for tokenising real-world financial assets from emerging markets and making them accessible through blockchain infrastructure.
The round included backing from FRWRD Ventures, Circle Ventures, ConsenSys, Webrazzi Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Paribu Ventures, alongside angel investors including Kemal Kaya, Fevzi Güngör, and Sertaç Özinal.
Unlocking Access To Emerging Market Investments
Brix is building infrastructure to bring traditional financial assets—such as stocks, bonds, and funds—on-chain. By tokenising these assets, the platform enables broader access for global investors, removing barriers that have historically limited participation to institutional players.

Bridging Traditional Finance And DeFi
Beyond enabling direct investment, tokenised assets on Brix can also be used as collateral and integrated into decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystems. This opens the door to new financial products and programmable yield opportunities.
The company collaborates with banks and brokerage firms across emerging markets to handle asset issuance, custody, and management—ensuring regulatory compliance while enabling global distribution.
Expanding Product And Market Reach
As part of its roadmap, the company plans to launch its first product: a digital asset backed by tokenised Turkish lira money market funds. Additional offerings are expected to follow, with all underlying assets managed by regulated local financial institutions.
The newly raised capital will be used to expand its asset portfolio and deepen partnerships across key regions, including Türkiye, the UAE, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea.
Connecting Global Capital With Real-World Yield
Brix is positioning itself at the intersection of decentralised finance and traditional financial markets, aiming to connect on-chain capital with real-world assets from high-growth economies.
According to co-founder and CEO Alp Ergin, the opportunity lies in bridging two rapidly evolving ecosystems:
“Large financial players in emerging markets want to tokenise and distribute their assets, while capital in DeFi is searching for real-world yield. Brix is where these two forces meet.”
