CoreNest Capital, Sologenic’s VC partner, invests in Texture, a U.S.-based broker-dealer, to launch SoloTex, a new platform for trading tokenized equities

The all-new platform to be powered by technology from Sologenic and leverage Texture Capital’s deep expertise as a licensed broker-dealer for digital asset securities


NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, venture capital firm CoreNest Capital has announced a strategic investment in Texture Capital Holdings to fuel the development of a new platform for trading tokenized real-world assets. Pending regulatory approval, the platform, SoloTex, will be designed to provide institutions and individual investors with seamless access to tokenized securities — a process that will aim to enhance market efficiency, transparency, and global accessibility.

SoloTex will layer technology and expertise in asset tokenization from CoreNest Capital’s partner companies Sologenic and Coreum underneath Texture Capital’s position as a FINRA Member and SEC-registered broker-dealer for digital asset securities. With Texture’s Alternative Trading System (ATS) infrastructure and Transfer Agent capabilities, it aims to provide a complete, end-to-end solution for tokenizing and trading securities, backed by the company’s expertise in navigating the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape.

Sologenic’s track record in product development and tokenization as well as CoreNest’s commitment to this space will help drive our mission to bridge the gap between traditional and nontraditional digital assets and transform capital markets through tokenization,” said Richard Johnson, CEO of Texture Capital. “Together we are excited to tokenize real-world assets leveraging blockchain and deliver the benefits of DeFi to traditional markets.”

Through CoreNest Capital’s investment and technological contributions, Texture Capital is well-positioned to continue transforming capital markets through tokenization. Sologenic’s comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain-based applications are designed for the highest standards of user experience and security in handling these assets.

“Innovation is the constant in an ever-fluctuating market,” said Bob Ras, GP & Co-Founder of CoreNest Capital. “This partnership with Texture Capital is not constrained to launching a platform; it’s about laying the groundwork for a new era of asset management applications and investment strategies driven by innovation, transparency and security.”

SoloTex has created a waitlist for early access ahead of regulatory submission and official platform launch. Visit http://solotex.com to join the waitlist.
