Collectibles RWA Infrastructure Protocol Renaiss Protocol Completes $1.5 Million Seed Round Financing, Led by YZi Labs

On June 18, Renaiss—a real-world collectibles liquidity infrastructure provider—announced it closed a $1.5 million seed funding round. The round was led by YZi Labs, with participation from Gate Ventures, Hash Global, XIN Family, Redline Labs, and angel investors including teams from Mask Network, Far East Group, Logoman, Hoopi, and Legit App. Built on BNB Chain, Renaiss connects third-party vaults, card shops, and custody nodes via its Renaiss Vault OS. The project uses Renaiss.XYZ as the user-facing application layer for the on-chain collectibles market, offering verifiable custody, standardized settlement, and on-chain liquidity for physical collectibles. This eliminates friction in key areas like validation, custody, pricing, and cross-border trades, letting custodially vetted collectibles be transferred on-chain and circulated globally without trust or third-party approval. Proceeds from the seed round will go toward expanding its vault network, boosting product integrations with the Renaiss SDK ecosystem, diversifying collectible offerings, scaling into new global markets, and supporting development of DeFi integrations and AI Agent-related infrastructure. Notably, Renaiss was selected for YZi Labs’ EASY Residency Season 3 incubation program and took home the top prize at the 2025 Binance Blockchain Week Dubai Demo Night. It also holds the No. 1 ranking in BNB Chain’s Real-World Asset (RWA) category. Since launching its beta version in November 2025, the Renaiss platform has generated over $20 million in turnover and amassed more than 260,000 users.
