🐋 WHALE WATCH :Standard Chartered venture arm and a sovereign wealth backed fund are both backing the same wave of pre launch RWA projects. Heres where the capital landed. Top 10 upcoming RWA projects by funding => Pharos Network — $52M | SNZ Capital Sumitomo Chainlink Flow Traders => REAL Finance — $29M | Nimbus Capital Magnus Capital Frekaz Group => KiiChain — $26M | Nimbus Capital Super Cycle Capital WTG Ventures => Multipli — $20M+ | Pantera Capital Coinbase Ventures Spartan Group Sequoia => Libeara — $14M | GSR SC Ventures (Standard Chartered) => LAKE — $12.4M | Artaize Invest EMB Venture Capital MSM Family Office => Dow Protocol — $10.5M | MH Ventures Mapleblock Animoca Brands Hashkey Chain => NUVA Digital — $5.2M | Morgan Creek Digital Ulu Ventures Animoca Brands Two names stand out. Pharos Networks $52M raise tops the list but the backer mix matters more than the number. Sumitomo a major Japanese conglomerate and Chainlink sitting in the same cap table signals infrastructure-level conviction not crypto native speculation. Libeara is the structural one to watch. SC Ventures, Standard Chartereds own venture arm led a strategic round that closed June 2026. A global bank placing a direct bet on RWA infrastructure rather than running an internal tokenization pilot is a different category of signal. The institutional money isnt exploring RWA anymore. Its funding it.
