The financial world has been undergoing a profound transformation for some time now.
Money has become digital, transactions have accelerated, and borders have largely dissolved. Yet when it comes to real-world assets, such as real estate, bonds, receivables, and commodities, the system still operates according to old conventions. These assets, which are difficult to divide, illiquid, and limited in accessibility, struggle to keep pace with the speed of modern finance.
While various solutions have been discussed in this space, the need for structures that are regulation-compliant, truly functional in institutional environments, and scalable remains critical. This was exactly what stood out to us when we first met Rudiq. Their approach to tokenization, not as a “technology trend,” but as an end-to-end financial infrastructure challenge, clearly sets them apart.
At Simya VC, we focus on companies that create value at the infrastructure level, grow in alignment with regulation rather than in conflict with it, and have the potential to transform large markets. Rudiq’s vision aligns seamlessly with this perspective. Their positioning of tokenization not as a standalone product, but as a robust and modular infrastructure that financial institutions can build upon over time, was a key point of differentiation for us.
Another major strength behind Rudiq is its team. Mustafa Kemal Akıllıoğlu and his team bring hands-on experience across technology, finance, and regulation directly into the product. As a result, Rudiq is not only technically strong, but also a solution that is practical, sustainable, and deployable in real institutional settings.
Following the investment, Rudiq’s goal is not merely to scale the product, but to expand this infrastructure across different markets. The funding will be used to deepen the technology, add new modules, and build a scalable structure across diverse regulatory environments—particularly in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Their ultimate objective is to move tokenization beyond a solution limited to specific asset classes and make it a natural component of institutional finance.
At Simya VC, we believe Rudiq will play a lasting role in this transformation where real-world assets meet digital finance. Being part of this journey and creating value together is an exciting opportunity for us.
Welcome to the Simya VC portfolio, Rudiq. We’re excited for the journey ahead.
