Welcoming Colb Finance to Republic Advisory
We’re excited to announce that Colb Finance has joined Republic Advisory’s portfolio. As the team behind the success of Web3 leaders such as Avalanche and Supra, we’re dedicated to helping cutting-edge projects grow and lead in the decentralized space. Part of the Republic ecosystem, which has raised over $2.6 billion across 150 countries, Republic Advisory is proud to support Colb Finance in achieving their vision.
About Colb Finance: Connecting TradFi and DeFi
Colb Finance is on a mission to expand investment opportunities by seamlessly integrating traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi). Based in Switzerland, Colb Finance provides non-custodial, blockchain-based access to real-world assets (RWA) such as pre-IPO shares, tokenized funds, and wealth management strategies.
By leveraging smart contracts and regulatory compliance, Colb Finance eliminates traditional barriers by introducing investment pools to lower individual minimums for participation in major opportunities, while leveraging programmable finance to increase yields, eliminate intermediaries, and remove the need for trust in transactions. Thanks to Colb Finance’s technology, these investments will be accessible through an alternative distribution channel, rather than traditional banks.
Its stablecoin, $USC, enables secure transactions and is fully collateralized by cash and equivalents, topped by a full Swiss bank guarantee. The Colb Finance app makes it easy to convert $USC into any of the three tokenized structured on-chain assets, known as Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs), available on the platform.
With a focus on accessibility, transparency, and decentralization, Colb Finance empowers a new generation of investors to manage their portfolio with ease.
Colb Finance’s Unique Features
1. Non-Custodial Control: Users retain full control over their assets, interacting directly with blockchain-based smart contracts.
2. Premium RWA Access: Colb Finance makes accessible investment opportunities in tokenized certificates that replicate the performance of pre-IPO shares (e.g., OpenAI, SpaceX), investment funds (such as Mutual Funds, Venture Funds and Hedge Funds), and bespoke wealth management multi-asset portfolios.
3. Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs): These innovative products include Fund-linked Tokens (CFTs), Managed Tokens (CMTs), and Tracker Tokens (CTTs), each mirroring underlying asset performance.
4. Colb USD Stablecoin ($USC): Fully backed by USD reserves, $USC ensures secure transactions within Colb Finance's ecosystem.
5. Liquidity Solutions: A dual liquidity model aims to ensure continuous market access, utilizing “natural” and “secondary” mechanisms, facilitated by Colb Finance’s intent-solver infrastructure.
How Colb Finance Works: Simple and Secure Access to Investments
Colb Finance enables investment beyond traditional assets like T-bills, opening the door to premium real-world assets (RWAs) in a secure and compliant way. Through the Colb Finance app, users can convert digital assets into $USC to access tokenized investment opportunities available on the platform.
Once users have $USC, they can subscribe to Tokenized Structured Products (TKSPs), which come in three types:
Fund-linked Tokens (CFTs): Represent curated fund performance.
Managed Tokens (CMTs): Reflect tailored wealth strategies.
Tracker Tokens (CTTs): Track assets like pre-IPO shares or private equity themes.
Colb Finance’s non-custodial system allows users to keep control of their wallets, while a Legal Trust provides additional governance and security to the underlying assets. The token issuance is fully backed: $USC is burned upon investment into TKSPs, with the equivalent dollar value of cash used to purchase the corresponding assets.
Colb Finance combines security, transparency, and flexibility to simplify access to premium investments.
Making Finance Accessible and Efficient
Traditional finance often excludes the majority of people. Premium opportunities like pre-IPO shares, private banking portfolios or structured products are usually available only to the TradFi ultra-wealthy. They’re also slow and costly, burdened by high fees and manual processes.
Colb Finance changes the game by bringing these investments on-chain. By tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), Colb Finance lowers entry barriers and eliminates the need for users to interact with banks and custodians, making wealth management accessible to a wider audience.
Liquidity, a common challenge in tokenized investments, is solved with Colb Finance’s intent-solver system. This creates a dynamic secondary market, letting users easily buy or sell assets.
Using its stablecoin ($USC), Colb Finance's end goal is to simplify investing, removing the need for traditional banking. The result? A decentralized, efficient, and inclusive investment platform designed for everyone—from crypto enthusiasts to decentralized organizations—as part of our future vision.
Colb Finance isn’t just making finance better; it’s rethinking how wealth should work in a connected, digital world.
