About DigiFT:
DigiFT is a next-generation exchange for the tokenization, issuance, distribution, and trading of institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs). Incorporated in Singapore in 2021, DigiFT was built on a single conviction: that institutional investors deserve access to the world's best on-chain financial instruments, through a platform that meets the regulatory standard they require.
Today, DigiFT is the most comprehensively regulated exchange of its kind — licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Recognised Market Operator and Capital Markets Services provider, and regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong for Type 1 (Dealing in Securities) and Type 4 (Advising on Securities) regulated activities. This dual regulatory standing is rare in the digital assets space, and it is foundational to how we operate.
We sit at the intersection of capital markets and blockchain — bringing institutional-grade asset classes on-chain within a fully regulated framework. Our current product suite spans tokenized money market funds, tokenized gold, private credit and pre-IPO equity access, with coverage continuing to expand.
DigiFT operates as a smart contract-based, non-custodial platform, serving accredited and institutional investors across Singapore and Hong Kong.
