OpenAssets has launched OpenAgent, the first SEC-registered transfer agent built specifically for tokenized asset markets. The announcement follows recent SEC guidance permitting transfer agents to maintain shareholder records on-chain for tokenized securities. Unlike legacy transfer agents adapting to blockchain technology, OpenAgent integrates directly with blockchain infrastructure whilst maintaining institutional-grade compliance for regulated digital assets. The platform supports tokenized equities, fund shares, alternative assets and digital currencies requiring institutional administration. Founded in 2026, OpenAssets built OpenAgent on an architecture ensuring interoperability with existing custody, clearing and settlement systems. The company aims to provide real-time posting, automated controls and audit transparency for regulated markets operating on-chain, eliminating legacy batch processing and manual reconciliation whilst maintaining required compliance frameworks.

OpenAsset, a digital asset finance company, has secured investment from Hana Ventures and IBK Capital. This follows a previous funding round from The Dzen in August 2025. Investment amount and equity details were not disclosed. The company operates OpenMint, a stablecoin issuance platform, and plans to enhance its infrastructure ahead of anticipated Korean won-backed stablecoin regulations. OpenAsset has been conducting proof-of-concept projects with financial institutions, testing payment and remittance services whilst developing internal control systems including audit trails, transaction monitoring and settlement processes. The funding will support advancement of policy-based issuance controls, role-based access management and risk management frameworks. OpenAsset has rebranded as "The Open Bridge" to reflect its positioning between traditional and digital finance.
