Kula issues governance tokens tied to projects such as a limestone concession in Zambia.
What to know:
- Kula has brought $50 million in impact investing fully onchain, allowing local communities to govern natural resources and energy projects in emerging markets.
- The firm issues governance tokens for projects like a limestone concession in Zambia and hydropower in Nepal, ensuring transparent onchain governance.
- Kula aims to redirect capital to fast-growing economies, empowering communities to participate in decision-making and asset management.
Kula, a decentralized investment firm focused on real-world assets (RWAs), brought $50 million in impact investing fully onchain, with a model that gives local communities direct governance over natural resources, energy and land projects in emerging markets.
Rather than tokenize yield or financial claims, Kula issues governance tokens tied to projects such as a limestone concession in Zambia, a hydropower initiative in Nepal and electric mobility infrastructure across East Africa. Through its Regional Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) Framework, each project is governed transparently onchain while remaining compliant across jurisdictions.

“As RWA tokenisation continues to evolve, I think the most meaningful progress will come from expanding who gets to participate in decision-making, not just who gets access to financial exposure,” Paul Jackson, CEO of Kula, told CoinDesk in an interview..
To date, Kula has raised $25 million from partners aligned with its governance-first mission. Impact investing assets currently exceed $1.6 trillion globally, but more than 70% remain concentrated in high-income countries. Kula positions itself as a mechanism to redirect capital and decision-making governance fast-growing economies often excluded from global finance.
“Kula was designed to make previously inaccessible assets investible while empowering communities to participate in the governance of the resources that shape their futures,” Jackson added.
Kula’s DAO architecture allows local stakeholders to vote on capital allocation, asset management and planning. This shifts influence from centralized institutions to communities generating the value.
With RWA tokenization expected to top $2 trillion by 2028, Kula’s approach suggests a future where onchain assets come with embedded accountability, and the power to shape outcomes rests closer to the source, Jackson concluded.

Dogecoin Rally Sparks Meme Coin Frenzy
The post Dogecoin Rally Sparks Meme Coin Frenzy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is once again buzzing with excitement as meme coins prepare for what could be another explosive rally. Meme coin market capitalization rose 7% in the past 24 hours, with trading volume up 50%, according to CoinMarketCap, as both whales and retail traders return. This surge of momentum has many calling it the beginning of a new “meme season.” Historically, when liquidity floods into meme coins, the strongest projects have delivered outsized gains. Today, one project in particular is drawing attention: Maxi Doge. Source – Crypto ZEUS YouTube Channel The Doge Narrative Remains Strong Much of the current excitement stems from Dogecoin’s performance. With a spot ETF under consideration, $DOGE has rallied roughly 34% and is approaching positive territory for the year. Technically, Dogecoin has been trending upward since late 2023, and maintaining levels above $0.29-$0.30 could pave the way to $0.35. In a strong bull market, even $2 remains possible. This momentum highlights why tokens associated with the Doge brand carry significant cultural and market influence. Projects such as Shiba Inu, Floki, Dogwifhat, Bonk, and Mog Coin have historically been first movers when meme coin cycles return, a trend also reflected in the recent price movements reported on CoinMarketCap. That is why traders are closely watching Maxi Doge, which brands itself as “Doge on steroids” with the goal of amplifying the meme coin narrative. Maxi Doge Presale Hints at 10x to 15x Growth Potential The presale for Maxi Doge is proving successful, having already raised over $2.3 million of its $2.5 million target. Once this phase ends, token prices reset higher, giving early participants an immediate advantage. This presale structure mirrors other meme coins that later performed strongly once listed. If Maxi Doge enters exchanges reflecting its roughly $2 million presale raise and follows the trajectory of…
