Value Capture from the Full RWA Lifecycle

Issuance: Tokenised Funds & Stablecoins

Our investment manager arm, Toroa Capital, issued tokenised funds via a regulated BVI framework. Projects include sovereign debt, agricultural credit, and NZ Iwi projects. Fund units are minted as ERC-7540 tokens with composable DeFi integration.


Via our subsidiary, we also innovate at the frontier of stablecoin technology in the ANZ market.

Distribution: RWA Marketplaces & Channel Partnerships

We build sovereign-grade digital exchanges in partnership with governments and licensed entities. Each exchange is fully compliant, interoperable, and powered by our compliance engine. We interconnect dealflow and distribution via our global network of channel partnerships.

On-chain Liquidity: DeFi

We connect Toroa’s tokenised assets to DAOs, DeFi protocols, and protocol treasuries — unlocking yield, composability, and programmable capital flows.
