Kula, a decentralised investment firm focused on real‑world assets in emerging markets, has listed its governance token, $KULA, on Kraken. The move brings the company, founded in 2022, onto one of the world’s largest digital asset exchanges.
The $KULA token, built on the Avalanche blockchain, allows holders to vote on decisions within the Kula DAO, including treasury management and capital allocation.
Kula has already deployed more than $50m into projects such as a limestone concession in Zambia, hydropower development in Nepal, and electric mobility infrastructure in East Africa.
“Kula was designed to make previously inaccessible assets investible while empowering communities to participate in the governance of the resources that shape their futures,” said Paul Jackson, CEO of Kula.
The firm has raised $25m from partners to date and combines blockchain governance with legally compliant operating entities to manage projects across diverse markets. Its model aims to give communities greater control over local resources while offering investors a transparent framework for accessing opportunities in regions often considered high‑risk.
The Kraken listing marks a step towards scaling Kula’s community‑driven investment approach globally, pairing decentralised governance with tangible assets to support economic growth rooted in local participation.
