For Industrial Buyers, Crypto Funds and Institutions and Producers

Ecosystem

Verify. Tokenize. Finance. Deliver.

Commodity markets still run on fragmented records, layers of intermediaries and settlement measured in weeks. Toto Finance records a commodity once, verified, and carries that record through financing, trading, settlement and physical delivery.

Starting With Copper

Copper Is the Defining Industrial Metal of the AI Age

Copper is essential to AI infrastructure, data centers, electricity grids, electrification, transportation and industrial manufacturing, and nothing replaces it at scale. The gap is not geology. It is capital and infrastructure.

Tokenized Copper Connects Physical Supply With Digital Markets

All products
  • CuTT

    CuTT: Tokenized Copper

    The flagship product. One CuTT represents one pound of COMEX Grade 1 copper held in US warehouses. Industrial buyers purchase physical copper online, settle in supported US dollar stablecoins and redeem standardized 25,000-pound lots. Crypto traders and digital asset investors trade tokenized physical copper on-chain, with potential DeFi integrations. One physical commodity, two markets.

    In development

  • CuTTR

    CuTTR: Copper Reserve

    A planned tokenized commodity financing product focused on future copper production.

    Planned

  • CuTTY

    CuTTY: Copper Yield

    A planned copper-linked digital asset product exploring yield opportunities within the tokenized commodity ecosystem.

    Planned

CuTT is designed as a freely transferable commodity token, settled in supported stablecoins. Planned features are described as planned until operational and approved for public use. Specifications are subject to final legal, custody and market structure. Not an offer.

The Thesis

Toto Finance thesis

Uber became the world's largest mobility network without owning the cars.

Airbnb built the world's largest accommodation network without owning the hotels.

Toto Finance is building the world's largest mining company without owning a single mine.

Toto Finance does not need to own mines to connect copper production with industrial buyers and capital markets. It builds the technology and commercial infrastructure that links physical commodities with digital ownership, financing, trading and delivery, and brings producers, industrial buyers, investors, warehouses, verifiers and custodians onto one ownership and settlement layer.

Built for the US Market

Copper for American Industry

Toto Finance sources copper and other commodities for US companies: directly from mines in the United States, and from US producers operating abroad in Africa, Chile and Argentina.

Refined cathode is delivered into COMEX-approved US warehouses, so buyers take delivery domestically while every lot stays traceable to its mine of origin, whether in Arizona, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Chile or Argentina.

For US BuyersFor Producers

Built for Both Sides of the Market

For Producers

Mines, developers, refiners and commodity owners.

Capital against verified reserves and future production that does not dilute, add debt or sell output for the life of the mine.

Solutions for Producers

For Capital and Buyers

Institutions, traders, family offices and industrial buyers.

Direct claims on real commodities with transparent custody, settlement in seconds and physical redemption where offered.

Solutions for Institutions

Track Record

Proven at Retail. Built for Institutions.

A live marketplace for tokenized physical assets since 2023. The same verification, issuance, settlement and redemption infrastructure is now being applied to copper at institutional scale.

In January 2026, Toto Finance consolidated its European tokenization operations into Toto Finance Inc., its US-based company. The transition brought together the existing technology platform, intellectual property, trademarks, software and marketplace infrastructure under one American corporate structure, establishing the foundation for the company's next phase of growth.

    The Copper Crunch: Why the World Is Running Short of the Metal That Runs Everything

    AI data centers measured in gigawatts, grid expansion, electrification and defense are pushing copper demand beyond the mine supply projected to be available. The data behind the Copper Crunch, what a full COMEX warehouse does and does not mean, and why capital, not geology, is the shortage that can move fastest.

  • Commodity Tokenization

    Can Copper Be Tokenized?

    Yes. Exchange-grade copper cathode is standardized, assayed, warehoused under receipt systems and priced on two global exchanges, which is everything a physically backed token needs. The open question is not whether but how: backing, custody, redemption and compliance.

  • Mine Financing

    How Can Blockchain Finance Copper Mines?

    By representing verified reserves and scheduled production as digital claims that a wide pool of investors and buyers can hold, trade and settle instantly, then converting those claims into physical copper when the metal is delivered. This is mine-to-market financing.

Common Questions

All questions

What is Toto Finance?

Toto Finance is a US-based technology and financial infrastructure company building the mine-to-market platform for tokenized commodities, starting with copper. Toto Finance connects verified commodity reserves, future production and physical supply with global capital markets through tokenization, digital settlement and transparent ownership infrastructure. The legal entity is Toto Finance Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Is Toto Finance regulated?

Toto Finance Inc. is a technology and financial infrastructure company and does not itself hold a financial services license. Toto Finance designs its products to operate within applicable law and works with licensed custodians, auditors and other regulated partners where a product requires them. A partner's license or authorization applies to that partner's activities only and does not extend to Toto Finance. Product eligibility and the regulatory treatment of any token depend on the jurisdiction of the participant and on the final structure of each product.

What is CuTT (Tokenized Copper)?

CuTT is Toto Finance's flagship tokenized copper product. Each CuTT is designed to represent one pound of COMEX Grade 1 copper cathode held in a COMEX-approved US warehouse. Industrial buyers will be able to purchase physical copper online in any quantity of pounds, settle in supported US dollar stablecoins and redeem physical copper in standardized 25,000-pound COMEX-sized lots through a dedicated redemption portal. Crypto traders and digital asset investors will be able to trade CuTT on-chain, with potential DeFi integrations. It is in development. See the products page.

Can tokenized copper be redeemed for physical copper?

It depends on the product. Toto Finance's copper products are designed around redemption in bulk, in full cathode lots, delivered from partner warehouses. Not all tokenized commodity products offer physical redemption; some settle only in cash. Always confirm the redemption terms of a specific product.

How can tokenization help finance mines?

Traditional mine financing relies on equity, debt, royalties, streams and offtake prepayments, each with trade-offs in dilution, leverage or lost upside. Tokenizing future production lets a producer raise capital against defined quantities of metal from a broad pool of buyers, with digital settlement, without necessarily issuing equity or taking on debt. See commodity financing.
