HAMBURG, DE, July 30, 2025 – tokenforge, a Hamburg-based infrastructure provider for regulated digital assets, has officially opened the public presale for $TKFG, the native utility token powering its live tokenization ecosystem. Unlike speculative crypto launches, $TKFG is embedded in a fully operational infrastructure, used in over 30 real-world platforms across five countries and governed under European regulatory frameworks including MiCAR, MiFID II, and eWpG.
The presale marks a key milestone for tokenforge as it scales from validated infrastructure to token-powered expansion. For early participants, it’s a rare opportunity to secure strategic positioning at the foundation layer of a regulated digital asset ecosystem built to last.
“$TKFG is not the start of our story. It’s the connective element of a system that’s already in motion,” says Moritz Stumpf, CEO of tokenforge. “We spent the last four years building what institutions actually need: a compliant, modular infrastructure that connects traditional finance with blockchain technology to enable real-time execution of business models – and now we’re opening it up.”
Built under Europe’s strictest standards – and ready to scale
Founded in 2021, tokenforge set out to solve the real challenge facing digital assets: compliance, not hype. Its core product, TokenSuite, is a white-labeled, modular tokenization infrastructure that enables the fast and compliant issuance of real-world assets – including real estate, private equity, energy, agriculture, and more.
Built in Germany under BaFin oversight and fully aligned with MiCAR, MiFID II, and eWpG, TokenSuite is already live – not a prototype. Next stop: scaling to 500 TokenSuites across Europe.
To support broader adoption and regulatory innovation, tokenforge was selected to participate in the European Blockchain Sandbox, a highly selective EU initiative. This participation affirms tokenforge’s relevance for policymakers and its alignment with the future of European financial infrastructure.
Complementing TokenSuite are layers currently under development, including EchoLayer, a decentralized network layer that enables asset cross-listing, affiliate programs, and shared marketing across platforms. IRIS is an AI-powered insight engine designed to deliver predictive analytics, risk modeling, and decision support for issuers and participants.
Why $TKFG – and why now
$TKFG is a utility token designed to enhance how participants engage with tokenforge’s infrastructure. It offers a 20% discount on platform fees when issuers stake tokens during the issuance process. After the issuance is complete, the staked tokens are unlocked and can be reused, creating a practical mechanism to reduce operational costs while remaining engaged in the system.
“This creates a dynamic that’s only possible through tokenization: Shared usage translates into shared alignment,” says Markus Kluge, CPO of tokenforge. “Tokenization is not an add-on – it’s the pathway to a digital, decentralized, and AI-enabled financial infrastructure.”
The presale offers early participants the ability to secure their position in a system designed for scale and resilience. Structured across six phases, the presale includes progressive pricing and a linear vesting schedule.
More than tokenization – building new connections
tokenforge’s mission is rooted in connection, not fragmentation. Tokenization is about creating new forms of access, participation, and alignment. This philosophy underpins the company’s product design, technical architecture, and go-to-market approach. Tokenforge’s seasoned advisory board includes members from Mastercard, Deloitte, and PwC, and a network of licensed partners across custody, payments, and KYC. Tokenforge positions itself as a foundational layer in Europe’s evolving digital asset industry.
