Private Markets, Rewired: Launchbay Capital Moves into Real-World Asset Tokenization
Press release
1 July

Launchbay Capital is entering the rapidly evolving world of private market tokenization, capitalizing on a significant shift in how real-world assets are being digitized. According to the Real‑World Assets in On‑chain Finance Report by RedStone, Gauntlet, and RWA.xyz, the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has expanded from approximately $5 billion in 2022 to over $24 billion by June 2025—a remarkable 380% growth in just three years. Projections by Standard Chartered foresee this market potentially reaching $30 trillion by 2034, affirming its position as the crypto sector’s fastest-growing segment after stablecoins.

The widespread popularity of tokenization goes far beyond hype—it is an infrastructure transformation. From BlackRock’s $2.9 billion BUIDL fund to Apollo’s ACRED private credit token, these developments underscore institutional finance’s embrace of blockchain for high-value asset management. Tokenized assets bring real advantages: instant settlement, programmable compliance, and fractional ownership open doors for a broader investor base.

In the private markets, tokenization addresses even deeper challenges. Historically, minimum investment thresholds of $250,000 to over $1 million have excluded many potential investors. Deals are often conducted off-market and through proprietary networks, leaving high-net-worth individuals and retail investors without access. Furthermore, LPs and funds frequently face illiquidity, struggling to exit positions under $2 million—essentially trapping capital with no clear exit path. These structural issues are compounded by excessive intermediaries, opaque paper-based workflows, and unpredictable timelines that can stretch deals across weeks or months.

Launchbay Capital’s solution is purpose-built to dismantle these barriers. We enable investors to acquire digital tokens representing curated holdings in high-growth private companies and thematic portfolios—ranging from AI to space, fintech, defense, and beyond. Tokenization enables fractional ownership and dramatically lowers entry thresholds. The offering will include high growth company tokens and portfolio-based investments, supported by its own warehouse-backed liquidity facility, eliminating the need to take multiple counterparty risk. Through dedicated SPVs, each transaction is executed seamlessly in-wallet—digital, transparent, direct, and programmable.

A pilot is scheduled to launch in Q3 this year for investors in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with later expansion planned.
