Galaxy Ventures Leads $7 Million Seed for Tenbin to Build Futures-Anchored Tokenized Gold and FX

Tenbin’s design links tokens to CME futures to improve price fidelity, passing futures-basis yield to onchain users.

Overview

  • The $7 million round was led by Galaxy Ventures with participation from Wintermute Ventures, GSR, Variant, Archetype, FalconX, Nascent and Bankless Ventures.
  • Tenbin plans to launch a tokenized gold product in early 2026 with support from prime brokers, including Hidden Road.
  • Rather than custody-based wrappers, the platform anchors pricing to CME futures and uses a proprietary hedging system to manage exposure.
  • The model seeks to capture futures-basis yield for token holders without direct interaction with local banks or governments.
  • Following gold, the company targets FX tokens tied to emerging-market currencies such as the Brazilian real and Mexican peso for onchain carry strategies.
