Over the past six 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 blockchain infrastructure purpose-built to achieve two primary goals:
-
Modernize Traditional Finance (TradFi) for entrepreneurs, small and medium financial enterprises (SMEs) and larger institutions, bringing RWA to market more quickly, compliantly and economically than any other approach
-
Democratize and ultimately decentralize (DeFi) RWA investor access to traditionally private, illiquid investments, maximizing network effect to establish a large Web3 ecosystem that brings all assets to investor fingertips, trading every asset class from regulated securities to crypto, investing in pre-IPO securities, fractional real estate, bonds, funds, commodities and collectables, AMM trading liquidity, bridging crypto between multiple blockchain communities, with fiat ramps to traditional banking institutions
At its core, Chintai’s licensed platform is a one-stop, fully compliant, permissioned L1 blockchain 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 optionally stand up their own branded websites for dynamic customer on-boarding, issuance and trading using Chintai’s extensive white label services (think: Shopify).
In the TradFi space, Chintai has established a regulated financial institution for efficient security token issuance and trading by any issuer, any asset class, with distribution across multiple jurisdictions, including full-lifecycle white label service and order book trading for institutional, expert and accredited investors.
In the DeFi space, Chintai has established a compliant tokenization and trading platform for any non-security asset class by any issuer, with distribution across multiple jurisdictions and EVM-compatible blockchain communities, including full-lifecycle white label service and AMM trading for institutional, expert, accredited and retail investors (currently excludes U.S. retail investor access to some investments).
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 three jurisdictions. Legally acting as its own financial institution, Chintai obtained two licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in 2022 for issuance (CMS) and trading (RMO) of tokenized assets including securities. A MAS custodial extension to the existing CMS license is pending. MAS fully audits Chintai operations twice each year. Singapore has consistently remained a top-5 financial services hub.
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. Global Economy scored Singapore as the highest-quality regulator in 2022. 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). Core monitoring infrastructure ensures all transactions remain compliant using a sophisticated, client-customizable rules engine. Compliance monitoring features can be leveraged by external exchanges to ensure compliant transactions, avoiding costly regulator approval and lengthy internal compliance engine development.
Chintai has many differentiators over others in the RWA space. Only Chintai offers a comprehensive package today:
â–ª Top licensure in multiple jurisdictions
â–ª Automated compliance
â–ª One-stop tokenization and trading of all asset classes
â–ª Onboarding of all investor classes
â–ª Low friction blockchain UX
â–ª Full lifecycle white labeling of investor onboarding, asset tokenization and trading
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 holders can stake for real yield from fees collected by Chintai during RWA issuance, ongoing trading and account maintenance. Unsurpassed 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 that attracts liquidity and investors from several blockchain communities including ETH, SOL, Base, BSC and EOS, exposing investors to a secondary market of RWA tokens to trade in their portfolios.

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 regulated RWA tokenization, distribution, trading and custody in multiple jurisdictions. To operate compliantly with regulator approval, the chain is not presently decentralized. Chintai itself is the sole validator. In the future whenever regulators approve, Chintai's blockchain will decentralize with additional validators. Nobody can currently issue and trade security tokens legally on any public, decentralized blockchain. Chintai, like many larger financial institutions (J.P. Morgan's Onyx, for example), operates a private/permissioned blockchain to maintain regulatory 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.
