Presto is making markets in Japanese equities on @tradexyz, starting with KIOXIA (285A) and SoftBank (9984).
Cash-settled equity perps tracking the underlying shares: 24/7 trading, 10x leverage, built on @HyperliquidX HIP-3.
First Korean blue chips. Then the S&P 500. Now Japan. Institutional depth from the first print, on the names powering the AI and tech supercycle.
Real-world assets deserve native on-chain markets.
June was an active month at Presto.
$23B+ traded across @binance, @Bybit_Official, @okx, and traditional markets.
But volume is just one part of the picture:
- Anchored Day 1 liquidity for Kioxia (285A) and SoftBank Group (9984) perps on @tradexyz, extending our equity coverage to Japan.
- Presto Digital Fund won Market Neutral Fund of the Year and Systematic/Quantitative Fund of the Year (Annual Excellence) at the Hedgeweek® Global Digital Assets Awards 2026.
Tokenization does not create demand. It removes friction.
In recent interview with a Korean media, our Head of Presto Research @ClearLensPC shared his insight on where that friction sits: at the border. The benefit of bringing an asset on-chain is largest when it crosses jurisdictions, so the assets that belong on-chain are the ones global investors already want, not those with purely domestic demand.
His framing: Asset First, Tokenization Later. Identify real global demand, then tokenize.

Peter Chung (@ClearLensPC), Head of Presto Research, joined a tokenization panel at the Macquarie Asia Conference 2026 last month in Hong Kong, alongside Alessio Quaglini (CEO, @Hex_Trust) and moderator David Sefri.
One point came through clearly. Issuance is largely solved. The open question is the layer underneath it: depth, settlement, and the credit rails that let tokenized assets trade as real markets.

Tokenization alone does not create demand.
At Bitcoin Seoul 2026, Presto Research's @ClearLensPC argued that most RWA efforts get the sequence backwards, pointing to the failed 2018 STO wave as the lesson. The assets that actually move on-chain are the ones the world already wants but cannot easily access across borders.
For Korea, that reframes the opportunity around KRW internationalization and real capital-market liberalization, both now underway.
Presto Digital Fund has won two categories at the Hedgeweek® Global Digital Assets Awards 2026:
- Market Neutral Fund of the Year: Annual Excellence
- Systematic/Quantitative Fund of the Year: Annual Excellence
Both wins reflect fund performance through 30 September 2025, from eight category nominations across the awards.
The recognition is underpinned by more than a decade of proprietary quantitative trading infrastructure Presto has built across global markets, now applied to institutional digital asset strategies.
