Sonic Labs Invests in FinChain to Accelerate RWAs on Sonic
Sonic Labs has made a strategic investment in FinChain, an institution-grade real-world asset (RWA) network.
Together we’ll bring high-quality tokenized assets onto Sonic and advance our mission to become the settlement layer for the future of finance.
Why FinChain
RWA tokenization is rapidly emerging as the most important bridge between traditional capital markets and blockchain. Trillions of dollars in bonds, equities, and funds are expected to move on-chain over the coming decade.
FinChain is building that bridge. The Hong Kong–based network helps transform traditional assets into tokens that can move instantly on-chain, making them accessible in faster, more open markets. To do this, it delivers unified identity, compliant on/off-ramps, and an issuance and distribution platform for tokenized assets.
Its architecture is designed for institutions that require transparent operations, auditability, and regulatory alignment, with infrastructure that addresses the hardest parts of RWA adoption:
- Unified Identity (FinPass DID)
One-time KYC that can be reused across apps while preserving privacy with zero-knowledge proofs. - Compliant On/Off-Ramps
Connectivity for retail and institutions under regulatory frameworks. - RWA Issuance and Distribution
A marketplace model for tokenized equities, bonds, money-market funds, commodities, and more. - Enterprise-Grade Tooling
Modular, EVM-compatible architecture, low fees, and auditability for institutions.
“Institutional-grade RWAs are coming on-chain at scale. FinChain’s compliance stack and distribution rails, combined with Sonic’s speed and low fees, give issuers and investors a credible path to 24/7 markets and instant settlement,” said Michael Kong, CEO of Sonic Labs. “This investment aligns with our mission to make Sonic the best place to issue, trade, and settle the world’s financial assets.”
What This Investment Means
For issuers and builders, the investment translates into three immediate advantages.
- Primary Issuance on Sonic
FinChain will prioritize bringing new RWA products and tokens to launch on Sonic, enabling native liquidity, composability, and settlement. - Institution-Ready Rails
Issuers gain reusable identity, compliance workflows, and distribution across FinChain’s channels, settling on Sonic’s ultra-low-latency infrastructure. - Composability With DeFi
RWAs issued through FinChain can plug into Sonic’s money markets, vaults, and structured products, expanding yield, hedging, and credit primitives.
“This is not just about putting RWAs on-chain, it’s about making them usable,” said FinChain. “From day-one compliance to global distribution, we are designing FinChain to meet institutional expectations without compromising on DeFi access. Sonic helps us deliver that at scale and speed.”
Proof of Momentum
On September 2, 2025, FinChain tokenized shares of Sisram Medical, a $328M listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with multichain availability across Sonic, Vaulta, Solana, and Ethereum.
That same week, FinChain co-hosted the Stablecoin & RWA Innovation Forum in Hong Kong, drawing over 200 leaders from finance and crypto, including Standard Chartered, Circle, BNY Mellon, Bank of China (Hong Kong), and SoftBank Asia.
This marked a concrete step toward round-the-clock markets, faster settlement, and broader global access. Together, we are laying the foundation for a global financial layer where real-world assets can move, trade, and settle at the speed of Sonic.
