Galactica Facilitates the Successful $1.5M Funding of Pegasus 2: Bridging Accredited Capital to Asset-Backed Maritime Financing

Second successful close in under 12 months validates the scalability of tokenized private credit for Southeast Asian maritime infrastructure

  • Announces the successful $1.5M full funding of Pegasus 2, reaching its goal ahead of schedule
  • Notes robust participation from a diverse base of individual and corporate accredited investors.
  • Focuses on the rapid scaling from Pegasus 1 to Pegasus 2, proving that the future of maritime finance is both digital and regulated.

SINGAPORE, April 16 , 2026 — Following the debut success of Pegasus 1, Galactica has successfully closed its second tokenized issuance, Pegasus 2. The $1.5 million ship financing offering reached its hard cap ahead of schedule, driven by a diverse pool of individual and corporate accredited investors.

Hosted on the MAS-licensed InvestaX platform, the project offered qualified investors a compliant, fractionalized entry into the operational expansion of PT Pelayaran Maritim Prima, a subsidiary of the Indonesian shipping giant PT Pelayaran Korindo. By successfully attracting both private and institutional-grade capital, Galactica has validated its model of democratizing access to high-yield maritime private credit, a sector historically reserved for large institutional banks.

This milestone was made possible through Galactica’s strategic role as a flagship Real-World Asset (RWA) project within the Kaia ecosystem. By leveraging Kaia’s secure, high-speed on-chain infrastructure, the project ensures real-time transparency and efficiency for all participants.

About Pegasus 2

This launch follows the rapid close of “Pegasus 1,” which successfully funded a 145,000 CBM LNG ship and established a new benchmark for on-chain industrial liquidity. Pegasus 2 now shifts the focus toward the operational expansion of PT Pelayaran Maritim Prima (PT PMP), a specialized maritime logistics subsidiary of PT Pelayaran Korindo (PT PK) that has served as a cornerstone of the Indonesian archipelago’s logistics infrastructure. PT PK operates a diversified fleet of 26 vessels including 16 ocean-going vessels and 9 tug-and-barge units that provide critical support for shallow-water and coastal operations.

Why the “Pegasus” Series Matters

The maritime industry carries over 90% of global trade, yet remains underserved by traditional banks due to complex regulatory and asset-valuation hurdles. Galactica’s Pegasus series uses blockchain to fractionalize this debt, allowing accredited investors to participate in a historically “closed-door” asset class with lower entry points and higher transparency.

Leadership Perspective

Young Kim, CEO of Galactica, said; “The rapid, fully-funded status of Pegasus 2 confirms that global investors are hungry for transparent, high-quality RWA products. By successfully scaling from Pegasus 1 to Pegasus 2, we have validated that blockchain can solve real-world liquidity bottlenecks for critical infrastructure in Southeast Asia and by hosting this series on the MAS-licensed InvestaX platform, we are providing a secure, fractionalized entry into an asset class that was previously out of reach, proving that the future of maritime finance is both digital and regulated”.

Pilsup Shim, CEO of PT Pelayaran Maritim Prima, stated: “For a specialized operator like PT PMP, efficiency is everything. This closing provides us with the timely financing needed to accelerate our fleet expansion without the 3-month delays typical of traditional banking. It allows us to maintain our operational edge while modernizing how we access capital”.

Julian Kwan, CEO of InvestaX added: “Two closes in a single programme on a single platform is significant. The fact that Galactica has been able to launch, distribute and close two offerings through InvestaX within the same year reflects both the strength of the underlying assets and the efficiency of regulated on-chain infrastructure. This is the type of repeatable, compliant issuance model InvestaX was built to support”.

Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation, added: “Our Goal with Galactica was to make Web3 technology invisible but indispensable to real-world industries. Seeing Pegasus 2 reach full funding shows that tokenized RWA is no longer a niche experiment. It is becoming a standard tool for regional trade and development”.
