Leading asset managers to join new Corastone platform as investors alongside Apollo, Franklin Templeton and KKR

Expanded institutional participation underscores growing demand for private market opportunities and standardized operating infrastructure

Corastone, the hyperscaler for private-market investing, announced Fidelity Investments, Future Standard, and Hamilton Lane as investors in Corastone and its alternative-investing operating platform.

This growing institutional participation builds on Corastone’s recent platform launch and comes as demand for private markets investments expands across investor types. As global private markets investment activity and volumes rise, firms are increasingly seeking transaction technologies that can perform at scale while meaningfully lowering operational friction and manual interventions. Corastone, through its proprietary private, permissioned blockchain network, is increasingly functioning as the shared network infrastructure and data standard for private markets workflows — replacing legacy file-based processes and point-to-point integrations with a single solution that supports straight-through processing for all market participants.

“As access to private markets continues to scale, firms need standardized, digital infrastructure that supports higher volumes and more complex structures without adding operational burden,” said Hamid Gayibov, Co-Founder and President of Corastone. “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.”

Unlike legacy approaches that rely on multiple disconnected systems and point-to-point integrations, Corastone connects general partners, wealth managers, and administrators on a single, shared private markets platform. This unified architecture helps firms scale activity across asset types and volumes without increasing operational complexity.
