We Know You've Been Waiting. Here's What We’ve Been Upto!

Maritime Future

Dear Future Shipowner,

We know you've been patiently waiting. Since you first joined us, a clear vision has driven Shipfinex: to open up an entire asset class – commercial ships – that was previously out of reach for almost everyone. Ships are a powerful asset class, and true ownership is the ultimate result we enable. We promised a breakthrough platform, and that promise has been our absolute focus.

But what exactly have we been doing during this time? And most importantly, why the wait?

The truth is, building a revolution from the ground up in an industry as significant as maritime takes precision, regulatory compliance and safety. We’ve been building the perfect platform which has a strong foundation, ensuring solid regulatory compliance for the process to own a ship, a foolproof system for tokenization and seamless trading, and designing every detail to be transparent, secure, and user-friendly.

We are thrilled to share the pillars of our progress

Initial Approval from VARA

Shipfinex FZCO has received "Initial Approval" from the Government of Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This is a testament to our unwavering commitment to compliance and positions us firmly within Dubai's robust regulatory environment.

Successful Seed Funding Round

We've successfully secured $1.5 million in Seed funding! This investment, led by maritime leader Mr. Gaurav Mehta (Chairman of Best Oasis Limited and SPM Shipping DMCC), fuels our growth and accelerates regulatory advancements, backed by visionaries like Mr. Vivek Seth (ADNOC) and Mr. Yasovardhan Chinni (Nanlian Ship Management LLC).

Strategic Partnerships

Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

Our strategic engagement with a global leader like BCG is propelling our maritime asset tokenization roadmap, leveraging unparalleled strategic insights to define avenues of growth.

Tokeny (ERC-3643 Standard)

We've partnered with Tokeny, the creator of the ERC-3643 standard, trusted by major global financial institutions like ABN AMRO bank. Their safe, compliant, and trusted infrastructure forms the very foundation of Shipfinex's technology platform, ensuring robust tokenization of our shipping assets.
