Corastone, a private-market investing infrastructure platform built on a permissioned blockchain, has announced investments from Fidelity Investments, Future Standard, and Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE).
The announcement follows Corastone's recent platform launch and comes as demand for private markets investments grows across investor types. The company is the hyperscaler for private market investing, providing infrastructure that enables straight-through processing for general partners, wealth managers and fund administrators.
Corastone's platform operates through a proprietary private, permissioned blockchain network, which the company positions as shared network infrastructure for private markets workflows. The platform aims to replace legacy file-based processes and point-to-point integrations with a single solution supporting straight-through processing across market participants.
Hamid Gayibov, Co-Founder and President, Corastone
Hamid Gayibov, Co-Founder and President, Corastone, commented:
"As access to private markets continues to scale, firms need standardised, digital infrastructure that supports higher volumes and more complex structures without adding operational burden. Corastone was built to serve as a common operating layer for the ecosystem, and adding Fidelity, Future Standard and Hamilton Lane reflects how the industry is coalescing around shared, enterprise-ready infrastructure. Our goal is to help investors of all sizes access private market assets as efficiently and reliably as public markets."
The platform connects general partners, wealth managers, and administrators through a single unified architecture, which Corastone says enables firms to scale activity across asset types and volumes without increasing operational complexity.
Hari Moorthy, Chief Technology Officer, Future Standard
Hari Moorthy, Chief Technology Officer, Future Standard, said:
"As private markets continue to expand across wealth and institutional channels, we saw a need in the marketplace for an infrastructure technology that connects the various point-to-point systems used by investors and enables true straight-through-processing of transactions. We adopted Corastone because it provides a modern, scalable approach to delivering this connective layer for the industry, and does so in a way that improves transparency, controls, and investor experiences. Our decision to invest reflects our confidence in the platform's long-term role in facilitating the growing demand for private markets investments."
Griff Norville, Head of Technology Solutions, Hamilton Lane
Griff Norville, Head of Technology Solutions, Hamilton Lane, added:
"We've seen firsthand how operational complexity can limit participation in private markets, and have prioritised building or investing in technology that aims to enhance transparency and efficiency. Corastone's platform removes that friction, which we believe will help unlock the industry's next growth phase."
The new investors join a growing list of participants on the platform, which includes Apollo, Franklin Templeton, KKR, and Morgan Stanley.
