Superstate said it raised $82.5 million in a Series B round led by Bain Capital Crypto and Distributed Global, according to company and industry reports [1][2][4][5].

The company plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate projects that bring traditional finance onto blockchain rails, including support for blockchain-based IPO issuance and on-chain fundraising for public companies [1][4][5].

Superstate says it has tokenized more than $1.2 billion in assets since its $14 million Series A in November 2023 and built Opening Bell, a platform that enables public companies to tokenize shares on Ethereum and Solana and raise follow-on capital through Direct Issuance Programs [1][3][5].

Investors and reporters framed the round as evidence of growing demand for tokenization as traditional finance and crypto converge, with Superstate positioning its platform to support regulated issuance and trading on public blockchains [2][5].
