Summary
Fission, a blockchain-enabled financial technology company, has closed a $10 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital, according to a PRNewswire release dated October 15, 2026. The company describes itself as building liquidity infrastructure for tokenized investment funds, targeting the gap between on-chain fund issuance and liquidity. The company argues that although tokenization has transformed how fund interests are issued, distributed and settled, tokenized funds still rely on periodic redemption windows, limited secondary liquidity and restrictive financing structures.
Fission's platform lets eligible holders of supported tokenized fund products access capital without waiting for traditional fund redemption cycles. The company says it supports a growing universe of tokenized funds spanning private credit, alternatives and other institutional investment products, and that it has already processed millions of dollars in transactions. The new capital is intended to expand Fission's liquidity capacity, broaden its asset coverage and deepen institutional integrations.
The round includes Pantera Capital, Circle Ventures, New Form, gumi Cryptos Capital, Borderless Capital and Ari Rubenstein, CEO of GTS. Existing backers named in the release include Anthony Scaramucci, Manhattan Venture Partners, Reflexive Capital and Lattice Capital. Jonathan Shaffer, Founder and CEO of Fission, said that the broader promise of tokenization lies in better markets around these assets, including broader distribution, continuous liquidity and the use of fund interests as collateral in lending markets. Franklin Bi, General Partner at Pantera Capital, said liquidity is a critical component of the transition of funds onto digital rails.
According to the company, Fission's platform is built for institutional and permissioned markets, with infrastructure designed around investor eligibility, transfer restrictions and compliance requirements governing regulated investment products. The company's team includes former professionals from Point72 and Securitize. The release is company-issued, and its performance and transaction claims have not been independently verified in the source material.
