Bridging
the physical
and digital.
The best of two worlds
In the physical world, world-class Real World Assets aka RWA such as historical string instruments, art, real estate or classic cars represent stable value investments that are deemed to preserve or even increase their value. Numerous advantages such as low correlation to traditional asset classes and portfolio diversification argue in favor of RWA. Impact investors particularly appreciate aspects like preservation of history and culture and philanthropic or patronage contribution. Impact investors particularly appreciate aspects like preservation of history and culture, and philanthropic or patronage contribution. However, they are also associated with high entry barrier aspects such as niche expertise, special storage and transportation as well as a longer investment horizon.
The tokenization of RWA is one of the most important and promising use cases for blockchain technology. We achieve this use case through our dApp and its tokenization solutions: For our customers, we build an independent, forgery-proof and decentralized asset management system including a customer owned database, which secures the full provenance, all real-time data of the RWA and associated rights on the blockchain. This creates decentralized trust, transparency, legitimacy, efficiency and comparability. We define a “golden standard” for the tokenization of RWA, refining them in an unprecedented way. We increase their liquidity in the market and build tailor-made solutions for RWAs such as string instruments, art, real estate and classic cars.

Tokenization of
real world assets,
data and rights
World-class RWA such as historical string instruments, historical and contemporary art and classic cars are at the heart of vountain’s service offering. RWA represent stable tangible assets, that have maintained or increased their value over the decades and often even during times of crisis.
Due to their natural scarcity and high demand, they have stable value characteristics and the opportunity for above-average returns. RWA are particularly convincing due to their low correlation to other asset classes.
Advantages of tokens and tokenization
