The digital asset market faces a critical challenge: traditional risk assessment tools are too slow and inadequate to identify and monitor the unique, rapidly evolving risks of digital assets, leaving institutions vulnerable to threats. Particula, the leading provider of AI-driven risk intelligence for digital assets, addresses this by delivering real-time risk intelligence and continuous monitoring. This enables institutions to instantly detect, assess, and respond to emerging risks with precision.
Today, Particula has secured $5.5 million in funding led by SixThirty Ventures, Vanagon Ventures, and Futury Capital, with participation from TX Ventures, Blackwood Ventures, Tenity, Blue Bay Ventures, Plug and Play Tech Centre, and high-profile angel investors.
Bringing order and transparency to the token economy
Particula, the AI-driven risk intelligence platform for digital assets, was founded in Munich, Germany, in December 2022 by Timm Reinsdorf (Co-Founder & CEO), Nadine Wilke (Co-Founder & CGO), and Carsten Hermann (Co-Founder & CTO). The company aims to bring order and transparency to the token economy through real-time risk assessments and comprehensive analytics for tokenised assets, helping institutions and investors navigate the digital asset landscape confidently.
Particula provides automated risk ratings that analyse issuer credibility, asset backing, regulatory compliance, and smart contract security. Through independent, data-driven insights, the company empowers major financial institutions, leading issuers, and trading facilities to assess digital assets confidently, establishing itself as a key driver of trust and transparency in digital finance.
To accelerate growth and deepen institutional engagement, Particula is relocating its headquarters to the United States, positioning itself within a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. As U.S. regulators refine their approach to digital assets, clearer frameworks and increased institutional participation are expected. “As Particula enters this next phase of growth, we remain committed to setting new standards in digital asset risk intelligence – ensuring that the future of finance is not only tokenised but also secure, scalable, and transparent,” said Timm Reinsdorf, CEO of Particula.
What’s so special about Particula?
Particula’s technology distinguishes itself through an automated, AI-driven risk analytics framework built specifically for digital assets. It combines real-time on-chain monitoring and analysis of smart contract design, security features, and third-party integrations with advanced product-level analysis of technical structures and economic token design. The platform also uses transaction pattern recognition and anomaly detection models based on blockchain data, delivering continuous insights into evolving risks.
Particula is pioneering a digital asset classification system (PDACS) that enables precise differentiation and evaluation of digital assets across economic, environmental, compliance, and technological criteria. The platform’s machine learning models analyse millions of on-chain transactions, smart contract vulnerabilities, and global regulatory signals in real time, generating dynamic risk scores that surpass traditional manual assessments.

“The tokenisation of traditional financial assets— bonds, funds, securities, real estate— represents a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity. As regulated institutions adopt tokenisation to boost liquidity, distribution, and efficiency, they face challenges with DeFi interoperability. Particula addresses this by offering automated risk rating and monitoring of tokenised assets at scale, enabling the convergence of DeFi and TradFi. Founders Timm, Nadine, and Carsten, rooted in digital assets and DeFi, are seizing the larger TradFi opportunity, and we’re thrilled to join them on this journey alongside our co-investors,” said Chandresh Iyer, General Partner of SixThirty Ventures
Investors’ views on Particula’s potential impact on digital finance
“With the financial system’s underlying technology being fundamentally redefined, the need for a resilient and trustworthy digital infrastructure has never been greater. We backed Particula at the pre-seed stage as their first investor, recognising their bold vision and strong execution, firmly believing they are poised to play a defining role in shaping and scaling the entire digital asset class.”, said Axel Roitzsch, General Partner of Vanagon.
“We see enormous opportunities in the area of asset tokenisation. With its team and technology, Particula is well-positioned to expand its leading market position in this growing market. We look forward to working together with the team and our co-investors,” said Benjamin Krahmer, Managing Director of Futury Capital.
“The market for tokenised assets, particularly in the fund sector, is experiencing exponential growth. While this technology brings significant advantages — enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility — it also introduces new challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and compliance risks. Particula has addressed these concerns head-on by developing the leading rating engine for institutional investors, enabling them to assess and invest in the best digital assets with confidence. We are excited to support Particula on their journey and believe their solution will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of tokenised finance,” said Jens Schleuniger, Managing Partner of TX Ventures.
