Jump Crypto Fuels Securitize While Bitcoin Treasuries Swell

Jump Crypto fuels the tokenized asset revolution with its investment in Securitize, while Twenty One Capital adds $100M to its Bitcoin treasury. Learn how May 2025 spotlighted the real future of blockchain: infrastructure, tokenization, and transparency.

While May 2025 may not have shattered records for crypto venture capital volume, it delivered something more meaningful: targeted, high-impact investments that reflect where the next wave of blockchain utility is emerging. Institutional players are not just throwing money around—they’re placing deliberate bets on the long-term foundations of digital finance.

Two stories dominate this month’s venture landscape: Jump Crypto’s undisclosed investment into Securitize, a pioneer in real-world asset tokenization, and Twenty One Capital’s $100 million treasury expansion into Bitcoin, backed by a growing commitment to financial transparency. Together, they signal that crypto’s evolution is entering a new, more structured phase—one that blends regulatory compliance with programmable finance.

Jump Crypto Backs Securitize's Tokenization Push

Securitize has emerged as one of the most significant players in the tokenization of traditional assets. With over $4 billion in on-chain assets under management, and BlackRock’s BUIDL fund accounting for about $3 billion of that, the platform has established itself as a bridge between legacy finance and decentralized infrastructure.

Jump Crypto’s recent investment—though the financial details remain private—cements the growing institutional interest in asset tokenization. This backing is more than symbolic. It enables Securitize to expand its reach into tokenized collateral markets, corporate equity, and alternative investment products.

Securitize's CEO has been vocal about the need for regulated digital asset markets, emphasizing the platform’s ability to comply with U.S. and European securities laws while offering blockchain-native tools. With Jump Crypto joining the cap table, Securitize is well-positioned to accelerate product innovation and partnerships with both traditional and Web3-native financial institutions.

"We believe tokenization is the future of capital markets, and Securitize is the infrastructure that will get us there." — Jump Crypto representative

Twenty One Capital Grows Bitcoin Treasury by $100M

On the other side of the investment spectrum is Twenty One Capital, a digital asset firm making bold moves in treasury strategy. This May, the firm raised an additional $100 million through convertible bond issuance, bringing its total capital raised to $685 million—primarily earmarked for Bitcoin acquisition.

Notably, Twenty One Capital has responded to growing demands for financial accountability in the crypto space by implementing a proof-of-reserves public ledger. This system allows anyone to verify the Bitcoin holdings in their treasury using cryptographic methods, helping restore trust in the wake of past collapses and opacity in the digital asset sector.

Their approach aligns with a broader institutional shift toward treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, comparable to gold. With partners like Tether, Bitfinex, and Cantor Fitzgerald involved, this move suggests that the financial elite is not only watching Bitcoin closely but also integrating it into their core financial architecture.

“This isn’t just stacking sats—it’s restructuring how we think about corporate balance sheets,” said a spokesperson for Twenty One Capital.

Tokenized Infrastructure Gains Steam: aZen and Dexari Lead the Charge

While the headlines focus on Securitize and Bitcoin treasuries, May also spotlighted the deepening investment into crypto infrastructure and user tools.

  • aZen, a project building decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) for AI, raised $1.2 million in seed funding. With more than 500,000 users and 80,000 testnet nodes, the startup represents the merging of AI compute power with decentralized coordination—a key piece in Web3’s evolution.

  • Dexari, a self-custodial mobile trading app, attracted $2.3 million from firms like Prelude and Lemniscap. Its focus? Making self-custody as user-friendly as Web2 fintech apps—without compromising security or speed.

Both of these companies reflect a growing trend: investors are shifting attention from speculative assets to practical, scalable, and regulatory-compliant infrastructure that will underpin tomorrow’s decentralized internet.

Luxury Meets Blockchain: Savea’s Tokenized Tangibles

Savea, a UK-based startup, is carving out a niche by tokenizing physical luxury goods—from vintage wine to collectible watches. Backed by a £2.5 million seed round, Savea issues an ERC-20 token called SAVW, which represents ownership in a pool of real-world assets held securely by DESAT.

For high-net-worth individuals and crypto-savvy investors, this represents a new frontier: fractional ownership of tangible luxury, tradable on-chain. It also serves as a hedge against inflation and market volatility, while providing liquidity to historically illiquid asset classes.

This trend is part of a larger movement in crypto to democratize access to elite asset classes via blockchain—making fine art, rare cars, and wine investable with just a few taps on a smartphone.

Why DePIN and Tokenization Are the New Crypto Narrative

May 2025 makes one thing clear: crypto is maturing into a full-stack financial and infrastructure system. The rise of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) like aZen, alongside the explosion in tokenized assets through platforms like Securitize and Savea, represents a strategic pivot from “just digital currency” to digitized everything.

DePINs allow users to contribute physical hardware—sensors, servers, bandwidth—to decentralized networks in exchange for tokens. These models offer resilient, community-owned alternatives to centralized infrastructure monopolies. Meanwhile, tokenization brings real-world value into programmable financial rails, enabling global 24/7 access, fractionalization, and liquidity.

This convergence—DePIN infrastructure on the backend, tokenized RWA on the frontend—is the next leap in crypto utility, enabling an internet that is not only decentralized but value-rich and economically inclusive.

Conclusion

While May didn’t see a flood of venture deals, the capital that did move was strategically deployed. Investors aren’t chasing hype—they’re building for permanence.

  • Jump Crypto’s bet on Securitize reinforces confidence in tokenized securities and regulated finance on-chain.

  • Twenty One Capital’s growing Bitcoin treasury adds weight to the asset’s institutional credibility.

  • aZen and Dexari point to a user-first, infrastructure-rich future.

  • Savea opens the door for asset classes never before available on-chain.

Crypto is no longer just a speculative playground. It's fast becoming the operating system of the global financial future.
