Lumia Pioneers a New Era of Real World Assets with Strategic Funding Round

Strategic Investment Led by Industry Titans and Other Top Players

This strategic investment round is led by Laser Digital, the digital asset arm of Nomura – a global powerhouse renowned for its deep expertise in financial markets and its forward-thinking approach to digital assets. Laser Digital’s involvement underscores Lumia’s strong technological foundation and our ambitious vision for revolutionizing RWAs. In addition to Laser Digital, the round includes key players such as DWF Labs, known for their hands-on approach in scaling blockchain projects, TRGC, a seasoned venture firm specializing in backing disruptive technologies in the crypto space, widely recognized for their strategic investments in early-stage blockchain innovations. Each of these partners brings more than just meaningful capital: they offer invaluable expertise and strategic guidance, further solidifying Lumia’s path toward becoming the leading liquidity source for the crypto universe.

Here’s what some of our capital partners have to say:

Empowering a New Financial Ecosystem

The investment round was also composed of a mix of future Lumia tokens and nodes from Lumia’s highly successful HyperNodes sale. The future Lumia token is set to power the entire Lumia ecosystem, while the HyperNodes represent a first-of-its-kind technology that ensures the decentralization and security of the Lumia network upon its launch. These advancements are not just technological milestones – they are pivotal steps towards creating a more inclusive and resilient financial ecosystem.

Lumia: The Future of RWAs

As Lumia continues to build out this vision for the future, it is poised to redefine the way we interact with financial assets, particularly through the seamless integration of CEX liquidity with DeFi. This integration is central to Lumia’s mission of transforming the tokenization and trading RWAs. Lumia Nodes, the backbone of this network, democratize liquidity provision, empowering participants to contribute assets as collateral, thereby enhancing the security and efficiency of the entire system.

Building on the foundation originally laid by Orion, Lumia extends beyond retail users to support a broader range of applications, including web3 wallets, DEXs, and other DeFi platforms. With this new round of strategic funding, Lumia is set to accelerate its mission of making trading more accessible and making access to RWAs more democratized.

Lumia’s vision is ambitious and transformative: we aim to become the premier liquidity provider not just for exchanges, but for any application or business—whether in web3 or web2—that requires deep, reliable, and optimally priced liquidity on demand. This goal represents a significant shift in the financial landscape by combining the vast liquidity resources of top CEXs with the innovative potential of DEXs into a unified, decentralized network. Imagine a future where Lumia’s liquidity underpins every transaction and trade, enhancing the transparency, accessibility, and resilience of the global financial ecosystem.

Here’s what one of our core contributors has to say:

“Lumia is proud to unveil some of the participants in our strategic fundraising round and the progress of our record-breaking node sale. Our partners were carefully chosen as pioneers in the web3 space and beyond to join forces with Lumia and aim to successfully merge the upcoming several-trillion-dollar RWA market with DeFi. A big thank you to our partners and the node owners that will serve as the backbone of our decentralize network.” – Kal Ali, Core Contributor at Lumia

As we move forward, Lumia remains committed to empowering our community through innovation, accessibility, and an unwavering dedication to the future of digital assets. With the support of our investors and the continuous growth of our ecosystem, Lumia is well on its way to becoming the cornerstone of liquidity in the crypto world and beyond.
