Ironlight Raises $21M for Tokenized Markets

Ironlight Group, a financial technology firm building tokenized securities infrastructure, has closed a $21 million Series A round. The company focuses on systems for issuing and trading digital assets tied to traditional securities.

The round included senior Wall Street executives and institutional investors. Among them is Greg Braca, former TD Bank CEO and banking executive. Other participants include Sei Development Foundation, blockchain ecosystem development organization, and Laidlaw Private Equity, alternative investment and advisory firm.

The funding will support the expansion of Ironlight Markets, a regulated trading venue, and Ironlight Technologies, a platform for issuance and settlement. The ATS integrates issuance, distribution, and secondary trading in one system. It operates under SEC Regulation ATS and FINRA oversight.

Ironlight’s infrastructure supports tokenized assets across private equity, fixed income, structured products, private credit, and real estate. The platform combines traditional market processes with blockchain-based settlement, aiming to simplify post-trade operations for institutions and wealth managers.
