Pittsburgh - Sep 04, 2025 (UTC) - Pointsville, a pioneering platform for digital asset infrastructure and loyalty, today announced the successful completion of its Series A funding round led by Valor Capital Group, with participation from an exceptional group of global investors and industry leaders. Backers include Tether, Itaú Unibanco’s founding family, Nubank’s co-founder, Temasek-backed Superscrypt, SNZ, Credit Saison, K2 Integrity, Citrino, and Dynamo’s partners.
The round unites a uniquely powerful coalition: the world’s leading stablecoin operator, Latin America’s largest banks, Asia’s leading financial services firms, and globally recognized risk, intelligence, and financial firms. Together, they bring unparalleled reach and expertise to accelerate Pointsville’s mission of bridging traditional assets with next-generation digital asset infrastructure. With the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market projected to exceed $10 trillion by 2030, the company is leading this transformation by setting the standard for how traditional assets move into digital markets.
The steady maturation of the digital asset ecosystem has fueled unprecedented demand for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Existing infrastructure has fallen short, fragmenting assets, data, and liquidity across traditional and onchain finance. Pointsville fills this gap with purpose-built tokenization infrastructure, shaped by the founders’ firsthand experience bridging institutional finance and digital assets.
As part of the financing, Bruno Batavia, Principal and Director of Emerging Tech at Valor Capital Group, has joined Pointsville’s Board of Directors. Batavia previously served more than a decade at Brazil’s Central Bank, where he played a key role in launching the Digital Real (DREX) initiative and led the Tokenization Working Group, shaping how central banks implement tokenized asset infrastructure globally.
“Pointsville is built for the next era of market infrastructure where real-world assets converge with digital networks in an open, borderless global marketplace,” said Gabor Gurbacs, Founder and CEO of Pointsville. “This round brings us extraordinary partners whose reach and expertise will accelerate that vision and transformation worldwide.”
“While I serve as Vice Chairman of Itaú, I want to emphasize that my support for Pointsville is a personal investment, independent from the bank,” commented Ricardo Villela Marino, Vice Chairman of Itaú Unibanco. “I believe the company is addressing one of the most important frontiers in global finance: building the infrastructure that will allow real-world assets to move seamlessly into digital markets. Pointsville has the vision and capability to shape how this sector evolves, and I am excited to support their journey as they help set the standards for the next era of market infrastructure.”
“Tokenization is rapidly emerging as one of the most practical and impactful drivers of real-world asset adoption,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Hadron by Tether is proud to support this transformation, collaborating with Pointsville’s experienced team to deliver the scale and usability required to integrate real-world assets and loyalty programs into the digital economy.”
“Pointsville represents the kind of breakthrough platform we want to support—one with the potential to transform financial infrastructure across regions and asset classes through tokenization as we move toward truly global capital markets on blockchain rails,” said Bruno Batavia, Valor Capital Group. “We are excited to partner with Gabor and his team to scale this opportunity.”
The Series A closing coincides with the rollout and expansion of major Pointsville-powered initiatives, including serving as the core technology provider for Hadron by Tether and powering new loyalty and experiences, such as the Fanatics FanCash program, and advancing projects with leading institutions and governments. Proceeds will accelerate product development, expand partnerships, and scale infrastructure to meet global demand.
