Copernic Space Secures Seed Investment to Democratize Access to the Space Economy
Copernic Space has secured a significant seed investment from Dark Horse Venture Partners, marking a major step toward building the financial and marketplace infrastructure that will power the next era of the commercial space economy. The company’s platform enables real-world space assets—from lunar missions to in-orbit services—to be tokenized, owned, and traded, opening the space industry to a much wider range of investors and commercial participants.
This strategic investment will accelerate Copernic Space’s mission roadmap along will secured space asset sales and product launches, reinforcing its role as a pioneer in tokenized space finance and the commercialization.
Turning Space Into a Liquid Asset Class Through Blockchain
Built on a three generation family legacy in space and founded by the mother-son duo Eva Blaisdell and Grant Blaisdell, Copernic Space has spent years defining and launching the Real World Space Asset (RWSA) class. This year, the company made history with their Moon Mission I, a fully sold-out lunar payload consisting of over 2,000 tokenized assets, which generated 3x returns for early participants in just four months.
Copernic Space is merging the space economy with tokenization decentralized finance to provide retail and institutional investors access to missions and services that were previously closed off to all but governments and billion-dollar corporations. Through its platform, users can:
- Buy, trade, and stake ownership in tokenized payloads, orbital infrastructure, and other space assets and infrastructure
- Gain direct access to missions like lunar landings, orbital payload deliveries, and in-space services
- Monetize advanced applications such as in-orbit AI computation
By using blockchain technology as the econoimic infrastructure, Copernic Space is transforming space into a liquid, accessible, and globally scalable asset class.
Seed Round to Fuel a New Sales and Era of Space Commercialization
Dark Horse Venture Partners’ investment represents the first major commitment in Copernic Space’s seed round and reflects growing interest in space-as-a-service and tokenized space finance.
“Copernic Space represents the convergence of two of today’s most transformative markets: space and digital assets,” said Yorick Evans-Freke, Managing Partner at Dark Horse Venture Partners. “They’re turning access and ownership in orbit into something liquid, democratized, and commercially scalable.”
The funding will accelerate several key Copernic Space initiatives, including:
- Scaling SpaceMart – Expanding the marketplace for buying, selling, and managing tokenized space assets such as payloads, rockets, satellite data, and infrastructure.
- Moon Mission I Secondary Market Launch – Opening trading for over 2,000 assets already on the Moon, driving immediate liquidity and user growth.
- Commercial In-Orbit AI Sale – Launching the first-ever space-based computation sale with OrbitsEdge, bringing decentralized processing and enterprise services to orbit.
- SpacePool Launch – Introducing a DeFi-powered platform that enables investors to stake, fund, and trade financial space assets linked to missions and ventures.
- Copernic Space Token (CST) Rollout – Powering transactions, staking, and decentralized participation across the Copernic ecosystem.
Unlocking a Real-Time Space Economy
Copernic Space is building a platform that not only unlocks access to the space industry but is transforming space into an investable, tradeable, real-time digital economy. By bridging space infrastructure with blockchain and decentralized finance, the company provides space companies with new liquidity pathways while giving investors unprecedented access to the world’s fastest-growing frontier industry.
