ShipFinex opens up ship ownership as an investable asset class. Each vessel is held through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle and represented on-chain as Maritime Asset Tokens, giving investors direct economic exposure to a working ship rather than an entire fleet or company. Every vessel undergoes independent due diligence before listing, and every investor completes identity verification before participating. Returns are tied to real charter revenue generated by the underlying ship, not speculative token pricing. It’s a structure built for an asset class that has always required serious capital and industry access, now available in fractional form.
Anyone eligible under Shipfinex’s supported jurisdictions can invest, there’s no accredited-investor income or net-worth threshold like you’d see on a U.S.-regulated platform. Since Shipfinex operates under VARA (UAE) and MiCA (EU) frameworks, eligibility instead depends on where you’re based, KYC/AML verification, and completing the identity and source-of-funds checks required under those regimes. Investors from restricted jurisdictions are blocked at onboarding, and MAT purchases typically start from a low minimum, making it accessible to individual retail investors rather than institutions only, though the platform is also building out a separate institutional track (entity accounts, KYB) for banks, funds, and family offices.
