STOCKHOLM, SE / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / Hilbert Group, a NASDAQ-listed (STO:HILB-B)(FRA:999) global digital asset investment firm, today announced a strategic long-term investment in CCD – the native token of Concordium, a leading PayFi blockchain, built for institutional-grade payments.

With a meaningful upfront allocation to CCD, this marks Hilbert Group’s first core 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 through market buys. This also represents a successful outcome of the Hilbert Group’s strategic focus on identifying high-potential projects that meet its rigorous due diligence standards.

“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 CCD is well-positioned to become the primary infrastructure layer for a new era of institutional- and consumer payments.”

Unlike speculative blockchain projects, Concordium is purpose-built to integrate seamlessly with 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, or the next evolution of payments on the blockchain, thus bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

For Concordium, Hilbert’s investment brings both capital and strategic collaboration opportunities, opening doors to joint work on treasury management, liquidity growth, and PayFi ecosystem development. It also strengthens CCD’s position as a utility token powering a new generation of PayFi and signals growing market momentum around the network.

“Hilbert Group’s decision to invest in CCD is a powerful validation of our mission,” said Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium. “Partnering with a NASDAQ-listed firm like Hilbert accelerates our journey. This isn’t just a capital infusion; it’s a strategic investment. With Hilbert’s expertise and market presence, we will explore strategic collaboration on treasury management, liquidity growth and PayFi ecosystem expansion. Together, we are driving institutional adoption and building a future-proof blockchain for the real economy.”
