Moonbeam x Colb

TL;DR

  • Colb is building on Moonbeam for seamless Real-World Asset (RWA) management and cross-chain development
  • Their $USC Swiss-compliant stablecoin was launched on Moonbeam mainnet
  • Colb will introduce the Tokenized Structured Product (TKSP) framework for accessible high-value asset investments for professional investors
  • The partnership aims to create a more accessible and efficient ecosystem for RWAs in Web3

We are thrilled to announce that Colb Finance partnered with Moonbeam to accelerate the development of Real-World Assets (RWAs), solidifying our pillar of bringing Real-World use cases to the ecosystem. This collaboration combines Moonbeam's scalable blockchain infrastructure with Colb Finance's innovative approach to tokenized structured products, setting a new standard for bringing tangible assets on-chain.

The Market Opportunity

The estimated market of illiquid assets is $16 trillion globally, and the potential for tokenization is immense. This collaboration tackles the persistent challenges of bringing traditional assets on-chain, including regulatory compliance, liquidity constraints, and technological barriers. In addition, experts project an $84 trillion wealth transfer to younger generations over the next two decades, as these investors show a stronger preference for digital and alternative assets. By providing a compliant, user-friendly platform for tokenizing and trading RWAs, Colb positions itself at the forefront of a market poised for exponential growth.

Revolutionizing RWAs with Moonbeam and Colb

Colb Finance will integrate its financial products on Moonbeam to ensure a seamless user experience and efficiently manage RWAs on the blockchain. Moonbeam offers EVM and solidity compatibility but also supports Substrates as a parachain. In addition, it has a native cross-chain tooling infrastructure that makes cross-chain development easy.

Utilizing Moonbeam, Colb Finance ensures that all asset transactions are secure and verifiable.

Introducing $USC on Moonbeam

As part of this partnership, we're proud to share that $USC, Colb's ecosystem-led stablecoin, is now live on the Moonbeam mainnet! This launch brings even more liquidity and cross-chain opportunities for users and investors:

  • $USC can be minted directly on Moonbeam
  • Multi-chain strategy launched, starting with Moonbeam Network
  • $USC is compliant with Swiss law and serves as the primary payment method for Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs)
  • Future interoperability solutions will enable other stablecoins and cryptocurrencies to access TKSPs

The center of Colb Finance's offering is their WebApp, an ecosystem that makes unprecedented investment opportunities in RWAs possible. Supported by integrated smart contracts and robust safety measures, the WebApp enables secure, transparent subscriptions to Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs) and effortless management of on-chain portfolios.

$USC is a premier Swiss-compliant stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD, and will play a crucial role in the Moonbeam ecosystem to come. Fully collateralized and issued in compliance with Swiss legislation, $USC effectively offers users the benefits of a Swiss bank account without the associated fees. It serves as the gateway to a range of real-world products via TKSPs and the Colb WebApp.

Coming Soon For Professional Investors: Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs)

Colb's TKSP framework revolutionizes finance by making even high-value assets accessible. TKSPs mirror the profitability of Real-World Assets, facilitating seamless access to wealth management strategies, funds, and pre-IPO opportunities through tokenization. This flexible framework accommodates any asset class, offering a secure method for tokenizing investments at scale with native, non-custodial asset ownership. This means that investors maintain direct control without relying on intermediaries, and their holdings are recognized as DLT Securities under Swiss law, which ensures real-world enforceability of the token.
