With a meaningful upfront allocation to CCD, this marks Hilbert Group’s first token investment beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. In line with its conviction in Concordium’s long-term potential, Hilbert has also committed to significantly increasing its CCD holdings over the next six months. This is a signal of confidence in Concordium’s blockchain infrastructure and relevance for powering the next generation of regulation-ready payment solutions.
“We have spent years rigorously analyzing hundreds of crypto projects, but very few meet our standards for long-term institutional viability,” said Barnali Biswal, CEO of Hilbert Group. “Concordium stands out with its built-in ID layer and focus on regulated, enterprise-grade solutions. With Concordium’s technical expertise and strong management, we believe Concordium is well-positioned to become the primary infrastructure layer for a new era of institutional- and consumer payments.”
Guiding Capital Through the Digital Asset Era
Founded in 2018, Hilbert Group has emerged as a force in digital asset markets.The Europe-based firm blends expertise in traditional finance, fintech and programming, offering quantitative investment, data analytics, and blockchain-focused strategy development.
Hilbert’s teams incubate innovative assets, and build infrastructure around on-chain insights, while maintaining rigorous risk management. Listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, the company is rapidly scaling, underscoring its role as a pioneer in bridging traditional capital with digital innovation.
A Growing Appetite for Blockchains and Crypto
Hilbert Group recently expanded its exposure to Bitcoin by purchasing BTC from Deus X Capital, bringing its total holdings to 430 BTC as of mid-2025 – a clear indicator of confidence in BTC’s long-term role as an asset of value. Alongside existing positions in both BTC and ETH, Hilbert has now added CCD as part of their strategy to invest in projects that meet its demanding standards for long-term institutional viability.
The Hilbert Group’s venture into blockchain resonates closely with Concordium’s vision, a compliance-ready infrastructure built on protocol-level security and chain-native identity. Concordium’s rollout of Protocol-Level Tokens (PLTs), equipped with features such as geofencing, allow/deny‐list and age verification, reflects a better path toward a scalable PayFi ecosystem. Hilbert Group’s investment underscores the broader market shift towards institutional adoption, with Concordium’s infrastructure allowing it to meet and exceed these evolving standards.
Bridging TradFi and Defi
Concordium is purpose-built to provide the infrastructure to integrate with evolving global regulatory frameworks. Its on-chain identity system and smart-contract-less execution model make it ideally suited to support large-scale, compliant payment systems, and the next evolution of payments on the blockchain, thus bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Concordium distinguishes itself through protocol-level execution starting with ID verification. Users activate wallets through government-issued documents such as passports, creating a verified user base. While documents are never stored on-chain, wallet-holders can use Zero-Knowledge Proofs to verify attributes such as age or jurisdiction without revealing their full identity, preserving privacy while maintaining accountability.
Tokens are issued directly at protocol level instead of locked inside smart contracts, ensuring custody remains secure. By integrating identity with protocol-level tokens, Concordium provides the infrastructure to enable advanced use cases including escrow, trade finance, and collateral management.
Concordium also delivers the performance and predictability required by institutional users, processing up to 2,000 TPS with block finality in two to four seconds. Fiat-pegged transaction fees provide a stable cost structure, shielding enterprises from any price volatility.
PayFi: The Future of Trusted Transactions
The Stablecoin market has been growing rapidly ~$280bn now with projections reaching ~$300-400bn by end of 2025, and >$3tn by 2030. Stablecoin settlement volumes are expected to hit ~$300bn per day by the end of 2025 (For reference, Visa and Mastercard are estimated to average ~$60bn in payments transaction volumes per day).
Also with new frameworks like MiCA in Europe and the U.S. GENIUS Act taking shape, infrastructure that can provide for real-world adoption in areas such as payments and treasury management will scale. This shift presents a structural opportunity for Concordium to become the infrastructure backbone for a new era of digital finance.
Hilbert Group’s investment in CCD validates this approach and fuels the momentum behind Concordium’s compliance-ready infrastructure, as the PayFi revolution accelerates toward a privacy-preserving but fully accountable blockchain future. As a publicly listed company, Hilbert Group offers traditional investors a regulated gateway to the digital asset space. By adding CCD to its portfolio, Hilbert now has provided its shareholders direct exposure to one of the most promising infrastructure projects at the intersection of crypto, and global payments.
