HexaVentures, a fintech startup straddling artificial intelligence and digital finance, has crossed the coveted $100 million valuation mark following an internal funding round. Riding a wave of 300% year-over-year growth, the company is unveiling two big moves: an AI-powered quant trading platform called HexaTrades and a pilot program to tokenize real-world assets (RWA).

AI Quant Trading Goes Retail

Algorithmic trading—long the domain of hedge funds and institutional desks—is creeping into the mainstream. With HexaTrades, HexaVentures says it wants to democratize access to institutional-grade quant strategies, giving both retail and professional traders data-driven tools previously kept behind closed doors.

That pitch puts Hexa in the same conversation as QuantConnect, Numerai, and Robinhood’s expanding AI-powered insights, though its direct integration of institutional-style quant models for everyday users could be a differentiator.

Tokenizing Real-World Assets

Perhaps more intriguing is the firm’s pilot program in tokenized real-world assets, part of a growing fintech movement to digitize traditionally illiquid holdings—think real estate, private equity stakes, or fine art.

By tokenizing RWAs, Hexa aims to unlock liquidity and broaden investor access. In plain terms, it’s trying to make assets that usually require millions to buy into something that can be fractionally owned and traded—like stocks.

Major players from BlackRock to JPMorgan are already testing tokenization platforms, so Hexa’s entry signals that the trend isn’t just for giants. Startups are positioning themselves as agile bridges between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).

CEO on What’s Next

“Reaching a $100 million valuation is a testament to both our vision and execution,” said Joss Cardozs, CEO of HexaVentures. “With HexaTrades, we’re democratizing access to institutional-grade quant strategies, and through RWA tokenization, we’re building the bridge between traditional finance and decentralized innovation.”

The Takeaway

AI-driven trading and asset tokenization are two of the hottest frontiers in fintech. With fresh funding and a $100M valuation under its belt, HexaVentures is angling to prove it can play in both arenas. Whether it can scale fast enough—and compete with both scrappy startups and Wall Street incumbents—will define if Hexa becomes a niche player or a breakout success.
