Jurassic Finance, a project that tokenizes ownership stakes in actual dinosaur fossils, has completed a Blockworks Token Transparency Filing for its governance token $RAWR. The filing went live on Bloomberg Terminals on August 20, 2026, making it visible across more than 350,000 terminals worldwide.
The project raised commitments exceeding $12.5 million during a permissionless ICO that ran from May 8 to 15, 2026. That’s against an original target of $200,000, which means demand outstripped the goal by roughly 62x.
What Jurassic Finance actually does
Jurassic Finance Labs sources dinosaur fossils, then wraps each specimen in a dedicated Cayman Islands Special Purpose Vehicle. Token holders receive co-ownership shares in those SPVs, giving them fractional exposure to fossils that might otherwise end up in a museum or a billionaire’s living room.
$RAWR serves as the platform’s governance token. Holders receive 10% in USDC origination fees, 5% of each SPV token supply, and governance rights via a mechanism called futarchy, a decision-making model where markets, rather than votes alone, determine outcomes.
The token currently sits at a market capitalization between $700K and $1.13 million.
The Blockworks Token Transparency Filing itself is designed to standardize disclosures around governance, risks, token economics, and project structure.
Meet Deaton, the Triceratops skull
Jurassic Finance’s first fossil is a Triceratops skull nicknamed Deaton, sourced from the Hell Creek Formation, a geological site in the western US known for producing some of the most significant Late Cretaceous fossils ever discovered.
A separate token, $TRCH1, is tied specifically to the Deaton raise. That fundraise launched around August 17, 2026, targeting $660,000 in USDC with a total token supply of 1 million. As of recent updates, the raise was between 60% and 65% complete.
The structure gives investors a direct claim: 95% of funds raised are claimable pro-rata by $TRCH1 holders. The physical fossils themselves are intended to be loaned to museums, with custody and insurance arrangements handled through institutional partnerships.
Why a transparency filing matters
Landing on Bloomberg Terminals puts $RAWR’s documentation in front of traditional finance professionals who control significant capital but remain skeptical of crypto’s Wild West reputation.
The project team includes figures like vukan0x and Aleksandar Pavlovic, who have been building on Solana. Their choice of blockchain is pragmatic. Solana’s low transaction costs and high throughput make it more practical for the kind of frequent, small-denomination transactions that fractional ownership models require.
The initial SPV was targeted for launch in Q3 2026, and Deaton appears to be right on schedule.
