In a landmark move that could reshape the investment landscape, Hilbert Group, a Nasdaq First North-listed firm with over $500 million in assets under management (AUM), has officially launched A360—a fully compliant, on-chain protocol for spot trading of real-world equities and pre-IPO shares. Powered by Galactica.com’s privacy-first infrastructure, A360 positions itself as a major disruptor at the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
From SpaceX and OpenAI to blue-chip public stocks, A360 enables fractional ownership of traditionally exclusive assets, making high-barrier investments accessible to both retail and institutional participants alike.
A360: Tokenization Meets Real Equities
A360 isn’t just a tech showcase—it’s the first protocol to offer fully compliant, on-chain access to traditional stocks and pre-IPO shares, enabling the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). For decades, access to private equity and early-stage tech shares has been confined to institutional elites. A360 opens the door to a global user base, offering a Web3-native marketplace for real assets through fractionalized ownership and borderless trading.
Whether it’s a trader in the U.S. looking for access to international tech startups or a user in an emerging market without access to U.S. brokerage accounts, A360 is setting a new standard for global financial inclusion.
Powered by Galactica’s zkKYC: Compliance Without Compromise
One of the most innovative aspects of A360 is its partnership with Galactica, a privacy-focused identity infrastructure that powers the platform’s Identity Virtual Machine (IVM). With zkKYC (zero-knowledge Know Your Customer), A360 delivers the holy grail of Web3: regulatory compliance without sacrificing privacy.
This ensures that A360 users can engage in real-world equity trading with full legal safeguards—no centralized data leaks, no privacy compromises—bringing DeFi protocols one step closer to institutional-grade adoption.
“With Galactica’s technology, we’re proving that privacy and compliance can co-exist,” said a Hilbert representative. “A360 doesn’t force users to choose between regulatory safety and the core values of decentralization.”
Incubation by CT.com and Industry-Wide Backing
The development of A360 has also been backed by CT.com, which acts as an incubation partner for the protocol, unlocking a wide-reaching network of partners, liquidity providers, and industry influencers. This strategic support lays the groundwork for a high-visibility launch across the crypto and TradFi sectors.
The upcoming private sale, IDO (Initial DEX Offering), and IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) are expected to draw significant interest as A360 positions itself as a protocol that merges Wall Street assets with blockchain rails—legally and transparently.
Hilbert’s Bigger Play: Bringing Wall Street to Web3
The A360 launch represents more than just a product release—it’s a core part of Hilbert Group’s broader mission to integrate traditional financial assets with cutting-edge digital infrastructure. As a firm known for its algorithmic trading strategies and ownership of COIN360, a top crypto analytics platform, Hilbert is uniquely positioned to bring RWAs to the blockchain with credibility, infrastructure, and reach.
The firm’s recent partnership with Xapo Bank to build a $200 million Bitcoin hedge fund underscores its commitment to next-gen finance, while its regulated status on Nasdaq First North adds a layer of trust and transparency often missing in Web3 initiatives.
“This isn’t just about tokenizing stocks—it’s about building the financial rails of the future,” said Dr. Niclas Sandström, Co-Founder and CEO of Hilbert Group. “We see A360 as a vital bridge between old finance and the new world of decentralized opportunities.”
Final Thoughts: A360 as a Blueprint for Tokenized Capital Markets
In a world where DeFi protocols often struggle to operate within the bounds of regulation, A360 offers a compliant, privacy-preserving, and accessible solution for trading real-world equities on-chain. With Hilbert’s expertise, Galactica’s infrastructure, and CT.com’s network, A360 is poised to become a cornerstone protocol in the RWA and tokenized equity space.
Whether you’re a crypto-native exploring TradFi or a traditional investor curious about blockchain innovation, A360 might just be the platform that brings both worlds together—securely, compliantly, and on-chain.
