Startale Introduces Onchain Finance Kit for Banks and Businesses

Startale Group has launched the Startale Onchain Finance Kit (OFK), a suite of enterprise tools designed to help financial institutions and businesses build blockchain-based financial services without developing the underlying infrastructure from scratch.

The Singapore-based company said OFK combines modules for stablecoins, wallets, privacy, tokenized assets, developer tools, and blockchain infrastructure into a single platform. The product draws on technology developed through projects such as Soneium, JPYSC, Strium, and Startale App, allowing organizations to integrate on-chain services with existing financial systems while meeting regulatory and operational requirements.

Startale said many banks, payment firms, and asset managers are already working on stablecoins and tokenized assets, but moving those ideas into production often requires solving technical integration, compliance, and operational challenges. OFK is intended to shorten that process by offering ready-made infrastructure that institutions can customize to their needs.

What comes with the OFK platform

The first version of OFK includes a stablecoin platform for treasury management and financial reporting, a wallet platform built around account abstraction technology, privacy tools powered by Privacy Boost, developer infrastructure such as RPC nodes and APIs, and blockchain support through Strium and Soneium.

Startale also plans to add a tokenization platform for regulated digital assets and an institutional custody wallet API. The company said these additions will support businesses looking to issue tokenized financial products or securely manage digital assets at scale.

Chief Executive Officer Sota Watanabe said financial institutions are no longer treating on-chain finance as a future concept but as a business area that requires practical implementation.

A different approach to enterprise blockchain

Most companies serving the blockchain industry specialize in a single area. Some focus on custody, others build wallets, stablecoin infrastructure, developer tools, or blockchain networks. Financial institutions often have to combine several providers before they can launch a regulated on-chain product.

Startale is taking a different route by putting those pieces into one package. Instead of asking banks to assemble separate vendors for stablecoins, wallets, privacy tools, and blockchain infrastructure, the company is offering a single platform that covers each stage of deployment. That could reduce the time needed to move from testing a concept to running a live service.

Earlier efforts were often centered on launching a blockchain network. Today’s discussions are more focused on how quickly financial institutions can introduce regulated products while connecting them to their existing systems.  Meanwhile, Startale Group closed its Series A funding round at $63 million, bringing together major backing from SBI Group and Sony Innovation Fund.
