Over the past seven years Chintai has obtained multiple financial licenses to compliantly tokenize all Real World Assets (RWA) in primary markets, then distribute and subsequently trade RWA in secondary markets, building institutional-grade L1 blockchain infrastructure purpose-built to achieve two primary goals:
-
Modernize Traditional Finance (TradFi) for entrepreneurs, small and medium financial enterprises (SMEs) and larger institutions, distributing RWA to markets more quickly, compliantly and economically than any other approach
-
Democratize and ultimately decentralize (DeFi) access to traditionally private, illiquid investments, maximizing network effect to establish a large Web3 hub that brings all tokenized assets to investor fingertips, trading every asset class including regulated securities, pre-IPO investments, fractional real estate, funds, bonds, commodities, sustainability investments and collectables, bridging crypto between multiple blockchain communities including Bitcoin for yield/collateral opportunities with fiat ramps to traditional banking
At its core, Chintai’s licensed, one-stop infrastructure operates on a permissioned L1 blockchain purpose-built for RWA tokenization, distribution and trading. Any asset class can be tokenized and subsequently traded, including equities, bonds, real-estate, commodities, collectables and carbon credits, just to name a few (think: Coinbase). Institutional clients can stand up their own branded websites for dynamic customer on-boarding, asset issuance and trading using Chintai’s extensive white label services (think: Shopify).
Chintai Singapore is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as a licensed financial institution for efficient security token issuance and trading, including a full asset lifecycle white label service with order book trading for institutional, expert and accredited investors.
Chintai Nexus is designed for all other tokenization and trading activities taking place outside the Singapore domain, with multi-chain distribution including EVM-compatible blockchain communities and Bitcoin Mainnet, full-lifecycle white label service and AMM trading for institutional, expert, accredited and retail investors. Nexus is not regulated by MAS. Currently, U.S. retail investors are prevented from accessing some investments, but this may change with improving crypto regulatory clarity in the U.S.
Successful RWA infrastructure must be properly licensed and maintain ongoing regulatory compliance throughout the technology stack and business operation. Chintai holds multiple licenses to handle RWA in many jurisdictions.
Legally acting as its own financial institution, Chintai Singapore obtained two licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore in 2022 for issuance (CMS) and trading (RMO) of tokenized assets including securities. Singapore has consistently remained a top-5 financial services hub. Global Economy scored Singapore as the highest-quality regulator in 2022.
​​
Chintai Nexus offers RWA tokenization, issuance and trading infrastructure for all client, asset and investor activity taking place outside the Singapore regulated domain. Nexus activities are not regulated by MAS.
​
Chintai announced its ongoing SEC application for United States broker-dealer and ATS licensure. Current U.S. licensure is already indirectly in place through RWA white label tokenization partnerships with Baird Augustine and Allo.xyz. An existing license to operate in British Virgin Islands (BVI) is being replaced by a newly-established VASP license. Chintai legally services the entire RWA marketplace, projected to be a US$28 trillion market by 2030 (Ernst & Young-Parthenon).
​
Driven by years of institutional client requirements, Chintai designed a dual Coinbase + Shopify business model that makes it the primary licensed financial institution, employing vertical integration to streamline business processes and significantly reduce issuance cost by up to 70%, increasing competitive advantage by bringing RWA to market faster than any other platform, optionally with 100% client branding.
Critical infrastructure is provided, including investor onboarding, robust KYC/AML and automated compliance technology, end-to-end white labeling for client-branded RWA issuance and trading, dynamic token issuance and high-performance secondary trading with innovative Automated Market Makers (AMM). Wide multi-chain RWA distribution is achieved through tight integration with Chainlink. Native Bitcoin distribution is available through Chintai's integration partnership with Arch Network. Solana distribution is available through Chintai's integration partnership with Splyce Financial. Core monitoring infrastructure ensures all transactions remain compliant using a sophisticated, client-customizable rules engine. Compliance monitoring features can be leveraged by clients to ensure compliant transactions, avoiding costly regulator approval with lengthy internal KYC and compliance engine development.
Chintai has many differentiators over others in the RWA space. Only Chintai offers full business and asset lifecycle RWA infrastructure today:
â–ª Top licensure in multiple jurisdictions
â–ª Robust KYC and automated AML/CFT compliance
â–ª One-stop tokenization and trading of all asset classes on-chain at scale
â–ª Full lifecycle white label investor onboarding, asset tokenization and trading
â–ª Wide distribution with Chainlink interoperability across blockchain communities
â–ª Native Bitcoin distribution with Arch Network integration
â–ª Solana distribution with Splyce Network integration
â–ª Compliant onboarding of all investors: retail, accredited, expert and institutional
â–ª Low friction blockchain UX
Chintai checks all the boxes!
CHintai EXchange token (CHEX) is Chintai's blockchain utility token that powers all transactions. Everything runs on-chain and CHEX is a required resource to perform all activities including RWA issuance, trading and account maintenance. CHEX is a utility token, not a security and is not regulated by any jurisdiction. CHEX holders can stake for real yield from fees collected by Chintai during RWA issuance, ongoing trading and account maintenance. CHEX tokenomics are fully explained in Chintai's white paper.
Equally critical, CHEX is the gateway token for liquidity between decentralized (DeFi) and traditional financial (TradFi) systems. CHEX is a multi-chain token, integrated with Chainlink to attract liquidity and investors from several blockchain communities including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, BSC and Vaulta, exposing investors to a secondary market of RWA tokens to trade in their portfolios.

Chintai also collaborates with public blockchains to expand its RWA distribution network, increase CHEX liquidity, attract retail investors and provide external compliance services. There are ongoing discussions with Solana Foundation, as Chintai CEO David Packham recently stated:
​
We have several clients that are each looking to do billion dollar plus issuance within the next year . . . Our goal has always been to make RWA available on public chains . . . The problem with making RWA’s available on a public chain however is finding ways to enforce compliance controls, but today I can share that we may have finally found our solution. Last week our team had a very promising call with representatives from the Solana Foundation . . . we discussed ways we can collaborate and bring RWA’s onto Solana by taking advantage of Solana’s new token extensions . . . with the goal of making Solana a key global hub for RWA.

Yes. Chintai operates its own permissioned L1 blockchain customized for compliant RWA tokenization, distribution, trading and custody in multiple jurisdictions. The blockchain hosts two walled application gardens. First, Chintai Singapore, a regulated financial institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Second, Chintai Nexus which provides similar RWA infrastructure for all client, asset and investor activity taking place outside the Chintai Singapore domain.
​
To operate compliantly Chintai's blockchain is not presently decentralized. Chintai itself is the sole validator. In the future when regulators approve, Chintai will decentralize its blockchain with additional validators. Like many larger financial institutions (J.P. Morgan's Onyx, for example), Chintai operates a private/permissioned blockchain to maintain compliance when issuing and trading securities. Like any other licensed financial institution, investor blockchain accounts must undergo KYC identity verification before investing in securities, with all transactions dynamically monitored for AML/CFT activity.
