About Midas

Midas is pioneering the future of asset tokenization by offering exposure to institutional-grade securities and structured products onchain – accessible, global, and compliant. Co-founded by Dennis Dinkelmeyer (Goldman Sachs) and serial entrepreneur Fabrice Grinda (FJLabs, OLX), Midas aims to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.

Since launching in October 2024, Midas has grown to over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its range of investment products, reflecting strong product-market fit and demand. The company raised a $9m seed round from top-tier investors including BlockTower, Framework Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and others – and is scaling its go‑to‑market engine and hiring exceptional talent to accelerate distribution.

Infrastructure & Tooling
