Sygnum Partners With T&B Media to Raise US$300M to Fund Its Metaverse Platform
by Fintechnews Switzerland October 5, 2022Sygnum, a digital asset technology group with a Swiss banking licence and a Singapore capital markets services licence, is partnering Thai media group T&B Media Global to raise over US$300 million to fund its new interconnected metaverse platform.
The raise uses a unique structure hybridising equity and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) like metaverse land NFTs into a financial instrument.
T&B Media Global’s new platform, Translucia, enables partners to build interconnected metaverses with real estate developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC) joining as first corporate partner.
MQDC will develop a metaverse within Translucia consisting of a virtual city that connects digital buildings with its real-world property projects and experiences.
Meanwhile, Sygnum will provide T&B Media Global an end-to-end corporate finance solution called Strategic Digital Assets Solutions.
It includes advising and setting up of the hybrid equity-NFT structure, developing metaverse token economic models and providing institutional-grade custody for traditional securities and tokens.
Sygnum will also lead the fundraise by managing Translucia’s roadshow as well as provide professional investors and strategic partners access to the platform and investment opportunities.
