Brix Raises $5.5 Million to Tokenize Emerging-Market Assets on MegaETH

Brix said its $5.5 million raise will support tokenized emerging-market credit strategies on MegaETH, with products designed to offer institutional-style yield while trading onchain with added credit risk.

Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the fetched crypto.news article, "Tokenization startup Brix raises $5.5M to bring ‘institutional’ EM yield on-chain," which explicitly says Brix raised $5.5 million, is launching on MegaETH, and is targeting tokenized emerging-market credit strategies intended to deliver institutional-style yield while carrying credit and FX risk. The Odaily item traced directly to The Block article at https://www.theblock.co/post/397546/brix-raises-5-5m-to-tokenize-emerging-market-assets-megaeth, which matches the claim title exactly, but I could not fetch that page during this run, so it remains unvalidated. No meaningful contradictory evidence was found. Confidence is medium rather than high because the most authoritative matching source could not be fetched directly and corroboration beyond crypto.news was limited.
