Securities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The deal highlights how traditional finance is increasingly looking beyond crypto trading and toward the \u201cplumbing\u201d behind digital assets: secure wallets, enterprise systems, and tokenized products that can fit into existing financial services.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end font-editorial font-bold text-base first:mt-0\">Strategic capital targets the infrastructure layer of digital assets<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Kresus said the investment will support product development, enterprise deployments, and global partnerships, areas that typically require long implementation timelines and rigorous security standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The company builds digital asset tools for both consumers and institutions, and it operates enterprise-grade platforms for digital wallets and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, along with on-chain financial workflows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The investment follows a memorandum of understanding signed by Kresus and Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities at Abu Dhabi Finance Week in December 2025, according to the companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">That sequencing matters: MoUs are often used to formalize intent, outline collaboration areas, and set up technical and commercial work before funding or deeper integration plans are finalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Kresus also emphasized its security approach.\u00a0 It offers seedless wallet recovery technology, designed to reduce reliance on a single recovery phrase that can be lost or stolen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">It also uses MPC-based security systems which broadly refers to splitting sensitive signing or authorization steps across multiple components so there is less dependence on one device or one key.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">In practice, these designs aim to make wallets harder to compromise and easier to recover, two pain points that have limited mainstream adoption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">\u201cThis investment validates both our technology and the direction Kresus has taken as a company,\u201d Trevor Traina, founder of Kresus, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">He added that Kresus has focused on infrastructure that works in real-world conditions, from consumer applications \u201cused at scale\u201d to enterprise solutions built for institutional requirements.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end font-editorial font-bold text-base first:mt-0\">RWA tokenization becomes a practical focus for financial firms<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">For Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities, the partnership is framed as a way to strengthen client-facing digital asset services and to pursue tokenization initiatives linked to existing financial products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">RWA tokenization generally means creating blockchain-based representations of real-world financial claims or instruments, with the goal of improving how assets are issued, tracked, or transferred inside digital systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">\u201cKresus\u2019s unique wallet security technology and RWA infrastructure will play a core role in advancing Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities\u2019 digital asset capabilities,\u201d said Son Jong-min, chief strategy officer at Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">He said the firm will continue collaborating with global technology companies as it seeks to evolve into a specialized digital asset securities firm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The announcement fits a broader industry pattern: established financial institutions are showing more interest in controlled, enterprise-ready blockchain use cases than in retail speculation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Wallet technology and tokenization platforms are increasingly treated as building blocks, tools that can be integrated into existing product lines, rather than standalone consumer brands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/kresus-raises-13m-from-hanwha-to-expand-wallet-and-rwa-infrastructure\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Hanwha invests KRW 18B ($13M) in Kresus to expand digital asset infrastructure.
