AGORACOM RWA DBX, the real-world asset tokenization initiative of AGORACOM, and tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure provider, have announced a strategic partnership to support compliant tokenization of assets held by small- and mid-cap public companies. This collaboration combines AGORACOM's issuer origination platform with tZERO's regulated financial markets infrastructure, creating a structured pathway for public companies to implement asset-level tokenization within established regulatory frameworks.
Under the partnership, tZERO will provide regulated infrastructure and tokenization services including digital securities issuance, trading, settlement, and on-chain custody. AGORACOM RWA DBX will focus on issuer engagement, asset analysis, and investor communications. The initiative addresses challenges in the tokenization space by focusing on public companies with existing disclosure requirements and investor understanding, rather than historically illiquid or opaque asset classes.
Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer at tZERO, stated that this partnership is designed to extend familiar capital markets principles into tokenization form, allowing issuers to evaluate tokenization of assets, intellectual property and revenue streams as a structured, compliant financing tool to unlock liquidity and raise non-dilutive capital. George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM, added that the partnership gives small- and mid-cap public companies better options by establishing a credible framework that sophisticated investors worldwide can trust.
The initiative has already gained momentum with AGORACOM signing its first RWA letter of intent with a public company and announcing ecosystem partnerships with Dubai Blockchain Center, BlockRidge, and Pegasus Fintech. tZERO operates one of the most comprehensive regulated digital securities platforms in the U.S. and is approved for on-chain custody of digital securities within a regulated broker-dealer framework.

AGORACOM RWA DBX focuses on enabling tokenization of operating assets held by public companies subject to ongoing disclosure and regulatory oversight, including natural resources, specialty materials, energy technologies, intellectual property, and fintech platforms. The partnership aims to provide public issuers with an additional financing pathway designed to complement existing public market structures while maintaining transparency, governance, and institutional standards. Additional details about AGORACOM's tokenization program are available at http://www.agoracomrwa.com.
By focusing on listed issuers in North America that are fully regulated and audited by multiple securities regulators, the partnership creates a new asset class in real-world asset tokenization. This provides investors worldwide with access to growth assets of emerging public companies, with the market projected to reach significant scale in coming years. The framework represents an alternative to current RWA tokens that are largely limited to sovereign treasuries, mega real estate projects, and stock of mega-cap issuers.
