The deal provides exposure to fast-growing company XM Studios, who make hand-crafted premium collectibles for global brands such as Marvel, DC Comics and Hasbro. Prices for statues such as Batman or Captain America range from under S$1,000 to as much as S$6,000 each.

ADDX managed to raise $4.5 million in an offering that was oversubscribed 1.75 times. Temasek-owned Heliconia invested S$1 million. Accredited investors participated on the same terms.

The deal comes after a separate strategic investment by Heliconia in XM Studios last week.
Full offering tokenized on ADDX platform
The full offering was tokenised on the ADDX platform without parallel non-digital issuance in order to take advantage of the benefits of digital securities.
