New Collaboration Brings Compliant Real-World Asset Tokenization to Small- and Mid-Cap Public Companies
NEW YORK, NY - January 22, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - AGORACOM RWA DBX, the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative of AGORACOM, and tZERO Group, Inc., a leading innovator in blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to support the compliant tokenization of real-world assets held by small- and mid-cap public companies.
This collaboration brings together AGORACOM’s issuer origination and asset-curation platform with tZERO’s regulated financial markets and tokenization infrastructure, creating a structured pathway for public companies to evaluate and implement asset-level tokenization within established regulatory frameworks.
Under the collaboration, tZERO will provide the regulated infrastructure and tokenization services supporting qualifying offerings, including digital securities issuance, trading, settlement, and on-chain custody, while AGORACOM RWA DBX will focus on issuer engagement, asset analysis, and investor communications.
“One of the challenges the tokenization space has been dealing with is attacking the historically illiquid, niche and opaque asset classes first. Public companies and their real-world asset bases - supported by existing disclosure market analysis and investor understanding – solve that issue. And public companies need tokenization models that align with existing disclosure, governance, and regulatory requirements,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer at tZERO. “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.”
“This partnership is about giving small- and mid-cap public companies better options,” said George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM. “By combining AGORACOM’s issuer expertise with tZERO’s institutional-grade, regulated infrastructure, we are establishing a credible and execution-ready framework for asset tokenization that sophisticated investors, funds, and family offices around the world can trust.”
The initiative is already gaining momentum. AGORACOM has signed its first RWA letter of intent with a public company and announced 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 one of a few firms approved for on-chain custody of digital securities within a regulated broker-dealer framework. Its infrastructure supports issuance, secondary trading, settlement, and custody of tokenized securities across multiple asset classes.
AGORACOM RWA DBX is focused on enabling tokenization of operating assets held by public companies subject to ongoing disclosure and regulatory oversight, including assets such as natural resources, specialty materials, energy technologies, intellectual property, and fintech platforms.
Together, AGORACOM and tZERO aim to provide public issuers with an additional, compliant financing pathway designed to complement existing public market structures while maintaining transparency, governance, and institutional standards.
