Midas, a Berlin-based tokenisation platform, launched Midas Staked Liquidity (MSL) to enable instant redemptions for on-chain investment products, featuring a dedicated staked liquidity layer embedded into its regulatory-compliant token offering. The company has previously tokenised institutional strategies as ERC-20 mTokens and secured EU approval to serve retail investors.
MSL was announced alongside a $50 million Series A led by RRE Ventures and Creandum, with participation from Franklin Templeton, Coinbase Ventures and others. The platform issues named tokens such as mTBILL, mBASIS and mHYPER and integrates with DeFi venues like Morpho and Pendle while appearing in Ledger Discover.
For investors, MSL reduces settlement lag by making instant redemptions the default without cutting underlying yield or breaking DeFi composability, improving the competitiveness of tokenised securities versus traditional vehicles. The launch signals broader institutional interest in regulated real-world-asset tokenisation.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Regulated Tokenised Securities
- Emergence of EU-approved tokenised retail offerings signals a shift toward mainstreaming securities on-chain with compliance baked into product design.
- Staked-liquidity Layers
- Dedicated liquidity layers that enable instant redemptions while preserving underlying yields introduce new architecture for bridging custody, yield generation, and secondary-market access.
- Defi-composable Institutional Products
- Integration of tokenised products with DeFi protocols like Morpho and Pendle points to institutional-grade assets that retain composability across decentralized finance stacks.
Sectors Adopting This
- Asset Management
- Tokenised funds and instant-redemption mechanisms could reshape fee models and distribution by enabling fractional, on-chain access to institutional strategies.
- Custody and Wallet Providers
- Demand for regulatory-compliant custody combined with discoverability in platforms such as Ledger creates opportunities for custody solutions that natively support tokenised real-world assets.
- Defi Infrastructure
- Liquidity protocols and middleware that preserve composability while accommodating regulated tokens may become core plumbing for hybrid on-chain/off-chain financial products.
