Pointsville, a Pittsburgh-based digital asset management firm, has raised $10 million in funding to accelerate its growth in Central and South America. The round was led by private equity firm Valor Capital Group and included notable investors such as Ricardo Villela Marino, a shareholder and vice chairman of Itau Unibanco Holding SA’s board of directors, and Edward Wible, a co-founder and shareholder of Nu Holdings SA, Latin America’s largest fintech [1].
The funding will be used to expand Pointsville’s operations in Brazil, El Salvador, Honduras, Argentina, and Asia. The company aims to set a standard for tokenized real-world assets, which are projected to reach $10 trillion by 2030 [2]. Pointsville, founded six years ago, is already working with large banks, central banks, governments, and institutions to tokenize traditional assets and move them into digital markets [1].
The company’s founder and CEO, Gabor Gurbacs, stated, “The proceeds will be used to accelerate our expansion in Central and South America, as well as in a large part of Asia, and to boost our partnership with the largest banks, central banks, governments and institutions.” [1]
Pointsville’s strategic partnerships and technological advancements are key to its growth. The company has previously worked with Fanatics’ FanCash program and various sports teams, demonstrating its ability to integrate digital asset management into traditional sectors. With the new funding, Pointsville plans to expand its partnerships with telecommunications and finance companies in the US [1].
Additionally, Pointsville’s expansion coincides with a broader trend in the financial technology sector. R3, another prominent player in the digital asset management space, has recently announced the launch of R3 Labs, a division dedicated to bringing real-world assets on-chain. R3 Labs aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) by leveraging the speed and scale of the Solana network [3].
The funding round for Pointsville is a significant milestone in its mission to tokenize real-world assets and expand its digital asset management services. As the market for tokenized real-world assets continues to grow, Pointsville’s strategic partnerships and technological advancements position it well to capture a significant share of this rapidly expanding market.
