Halogen Capital Sdn Bhd, the country’s first and only licensed digital asset fund manager, has successfully completed a RM13.3 million (USD3.2 million) funding round, led by Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, with participation from 500 Global and several prominent global and regional investors.
Following this investment, Kenanga now holds a 14.9% stake, making it Halogen Capital’s largest institutional shareholder — a strong vote of confidence in the future of regulated digital assets in Malaysia.
Why This Funding Round Matters?
This is not just another venture capital announcement. It signals a deeper institutional commitment to blockchain-based finance, tokenisation, and regulated digital asset investing in Malaysia.
The funding will be channelled through Kenanga Private Equity Sdn Bhd, Kenanga’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and will primarily support Halogen Capital’s expansion into:
- Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation
- Onshore unit trust funds
- Tokenised bonds and sukuk
- Private credit
- Tokenised real estate
In short, assets that were once exclusive to institutions and high-net-worth individuals are now being reimagined for broader, regulated investor access.

Kenanga’s Strategic Bet on the Future of Finance
This investment fits squarely into Kenanga’s broader digital strategy, alongside its stakes in KDX, Helicap and Merchantrade. The group’s vision is clear:
"To make capital markets more efficient, accessible, and globally competitive through blockchain, tokenisation, and digital-first platforms."
