Byzanlink Raises $1M to Power the Next Generation of Tokenised Financial Infrastructure 

UAE-based Byzanlink, a real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation platform, has closed a $1 million private funding round, backed by leading Web3 accelerator Outlier Ventures, NTDP Saudi Arabia, Smart IT Frame, Sensei Capital, and a prominent group of angel investors. Among them are Murali Kulala (CEO, Smart IT Frame), Salman Butt (Co-founder, Salla), and early fintech investor Christopher [Last name withheld].

Founded in 2024 by Anbu Kannappan, Byzanlink is headquartered in DMCC, Dubai, and is building the critical rails needed to bring traditional financial assets — such as debt instruments, private equity, and yield-bearing structures — onto the blockchain in a secure, compliant, and scalable manner. The company is poised to become an essential infrastructure layer in the emerging tokenised finance economy. “The next generation of financial infrastructure will be shaped by transparency, programmability, and accessibility,” said Anbu Kannappan, Founder & CEO of Byzanlink. “This funding allows us to deepen our technical stack, accelerate product delivery, and strengthen regulatory alignment for institutional-grade tokenisation.”

Rebuilding Finance from the Ground Up

Byzanlink’s platform aims to democratise access to high-quality financial products that have historically been restricted to institutional players. Through blockchain-powered tokenisation, Byzanlink enables the fractionalisation and digital representation of real-world assets, opening up new capital flows across global markets — including among fintechs, family offices, and digital treasuries.

The company’s infrastructure supports:

• Programmable, yield-bearing digital instruments

• End-to-end compliance frameworks

• Institutional integrations and real-time reporting

• Cross-border investor onboarding

• Asset servicing automation

A Strong Signal from the Market

The investment comes at a moment when global interest in RWA tokenisation is soaring. According to research from Boston Consulting Group and ADDX, the tokenised asset market could reach $16 trillion by 2030. The UAE, with its progressive regulatory landscape and focus on digital asset innovation, has emerged as a global hub for the evolution of compliant, blockchain-based finance.

Backing from Outlier Ventures — one of the world’s leading Web3 accelerators — reflects the strength of Byzanlink’s strategic vision and its foundational role in the DeFi-to-TradFi convergence. “Byzanlink is building where compliance meets innovation,” said a representative from Outlier Ventures. “They are precisely the kind of infrastructure play needed to power the global shift from static finance to dynamic, tokenised capital.”

What’s Next

The funding will be used to:

• Accelerate product development, with new asset classes and platform modules

• Expand ecosystem partnerships, including digital custodians, asset originators, and fintech rails

• Strengthen regulatory readiness and compliance workflows in MENA and beyond

• Lay groundwork for institutional adoption through audits, certifications, and cross-border licensing

Byzanlink’s initial products will include professionally managed, blockchain-native investment vehicles — combining traditional financial returns with the transparency and flexibility of smart contracts.

As global finance moves toward a tokenised future, Byzanlink aims to anchor its role as a trusted, compliance-ready bridge between legacy institutions and the decentralised world.
