Cosmos Hotel Group has launched the hospitality industry’s first issuance of digital financial assets in Russia, aiming to raise investment. The instruments were issued on the TsFA Khab (DFA Hub platform) and are available to MTS Bank clients and users of the MTS Dengi service. The platform supports the issuance and circulation of digital financial assets in line with Russian law and Bank of Russia regulations.

Raising Financing

Cosmos Hotel Group is using digital financial assets as a funding tool. In this case, the instruments are structured as debt issued in a digital format.

“Cosmos Hotel Group is implementing the first issuance of digital debt financial assets among Russia’s federal hotel operators. The instrument helps diversify funding sources, optimize the cost of borrowed capital, and increase the company’s visibility within the investment community. It is also seen as an important step toward becoming a public company, potentially enabling more effective capital raising through an IPO or bond placement in the future,” said Cosmos Hotel Group President Alexander Biba.

New Hotels in New Regions

The operator currently manages more than 11,500 rooms. Its portfolio includes 44 hotels across 28 cities in Russia. In 2025, the company opened new properties in Moscow and the surrounding region, as well as in Vladikavkaz, Vladivostok, Nakhodka, and Sochi. The company is also expanding through hotel management, leasing, franchising, and the construction of its own properties.
