Revolutionizing Maritime Investment: Pegasus by Galactica Launched on InvestaX- Successfully Closes First Tokenized LNG Vessel Offer
- Pegasus completes its financing window, securing funding for an LNG vessel to modernize Indonesia’s maritime fleet.
- The successful closing validates the Kaia-powered RWA project and InvestaX’s MAS-licensed tokenization infrastructure.
- Galactica shifts focus to its next phase of maritime RWA expansion following high investor demand.
Kaia DLT Foundation (Kaia), Asia’s leading blockchain ecosystem, today announced the successful closing of the debut ship finance product from Kaia’s flagship RWA project, Galactica. The project, named “Pegasus”, has successfully completed its funding window for a USD 25 million LNG ship, marking a milestone for the Kaia ecosystem in bridging high-value industrial assets with global decentralized liquidity.
Launched in collaboration with InvestaX, an advanced tokenization SaaS platform licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and PT Pelayaran Korindo, an Indonesian shipping company, Pegasus has successfully bridged the gap between traditional maritime finance and global digital liquidity. By fractionalizing a high-value industrial asset, the project allowed qualified investors to participate in a sector historically reserved for institutional giants.
A Landmark Win for Indonesia’s Maritime Industry
The funds raised through Pegasus provide critical bridge financing for a 145,000 CBM LNG ship. This vessel is a cornerstone of Galactica’s mission to modernize Indonesia’s aging fleet. With Indonesia accounting for over 10% of the world’s registered vessels, the success of Pegasus proves that tokenization can solve real-world capital bottlenecks, providing shipowners with efficient funding and offering investors transparent, high-yield opportunities.
“The overwhelming response to Pegasus confirms our thesis: there is a significant, untapped demand for high-quality, transparent RWA products,” said Young Kim, CEO of Galactica. “With the successful close of this first offer, we have not only funded a vital piece of maritime infrastructure but also established a repeatable blueprint for the future of ship finance.”
Julian Kwan, CEO of InvestaX, commented: “The speed at which the Pegasus offer closed is a testament to the maturity of the tokenization market. Our partnership with Galactica and Kaia shows that when you combine a strong asset with a licensed, secure framework, global capital follows. We are excited to continue this journey as more institutional-grade assets come on-chain.”
“This is a proud moment for the Kaia ecosystem,” added Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation. “The successful closing of Pegasus demonstrates the practical utility of Kaia’s DLT infrastructure in the RWA space and marks an important milestone for Galactica’s RWA strategy. Kaia supported this transaction by providing its Web3 partner network and blockchain expertise, and this is just the beginning as Galactica continues to roll out innovative, high-quality tokenized RWA investment opportunities that democratize access to the global economy.”
What’s Next for Galactica
With the successful closure of Pegasus, Galactica is now moving into its next phase of growth. The project plans to leverage its partnership with PT Pelayaran Korindo to identify further high-impact maritime assets for tokenization. Investors who participated in Pegasus will benefit from the streamlined management and transparency provided by the Kaia blockchain, as well as the secure and regulatory compliant platform provided by InvestaX, while those who missed the window are encouraged to join the waitlist for Galactica’s upcoming RWA releases.
