Providing the Infrastructure of Tokenized Real World Assets: Introducing Arkefi
The world of investment in art and exclusive collectibles has been one of the fastest-growing areas of capital markets in the last few years. Time and time again, it has proven itself as a place of steady returns, wealth preservation, and consistent asset appreciation.
But the best is yet to come. The financial backbone of the real-world asset (RWA) market is ripe for disruption by the technology of decentralized finance with Arkefi, an AllianceBlock-powered RWA investment and financing platform.
Arkefi’s mission is to redefine investment technology, with new ways to unlock liquidity for illiquid assets while enabling investment in top-tier art and other exclusive collectibles.
The upcoming launch of Arkefi is a testament to the potential of real-world applications of blockchain and decentralized solutions. With a proven track record and extensive experience in the art and exclusive collectibles investment sector by its parent company ARTBANX, Arkefi is embracing web3 and decentralized tokenized markets to make non- bankable assets investment accessible, transparent, and convenient.
Today you’ll learn about what this AllianceBlock-powered platform entails, how AllianceBlock’s community will benefit, and what can you expect in the coming weeks.
ARKEFI’s Approach: Accessibility, Transparency, and Convenience, Powered by AllianceBlock
Arkefi will enable High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) to leverage their assets, by leveraging blockchain technology and fractional ownership. At the same time, it will allow retail investors to easily participate in investment opportunities these assets will hold. Here’s a glimpse into the key features that both RWA owners and investors can look forward to:
New Liquidity for High-Value RWAs: Arkefi recognizes the financial challenges faced by HNWIs with valuable assets but limited liquidity. By allowing RWAs to be used as collateral at 50% of its value, Arkefi offers a reliable way to transform these assets into a new gateway to funds.
Return on Investment: Arkefi ensures that your investment reaps tangible benefits. Should the seller opt for a buy-back, the principal, along with the pre-agreed return, is directly credited to the digital wallet. However, if the buy-back option isn’t executed, buyers gain complete ownership, presenting an unparalleled potential for profit.
Digital Twins of RWAs: Through the use of AllianceBlock Nexera Protocol, Arkefi creates a digital twin of the collectible put up for collateral in the form of a Meta Non-Fungible Token (Meta NFT). This digital representation opens up new possibilities for fractional ownership and investment in the artwork.
Fractional Ownership in Digital Twins: Investing in art has never been more inclusive with Arkefi‘s fractional ownership feature. This allows small capital investing into a fraction of a collateralized RWA, making this investment accessible to a wider audience.
Step-by-Step Guidance: Arkefi understands the importance of clarity and simplicity. Ahead of the launch, a comprehensive step-by-step guide will be provided to the AllianceBlock community, ensuring that users can seamlessly navigate and make the most of the platform’s features.
Powered by AllianceBlock Technology: Leveraging Nexera Protocol-powered MetaNFTs, Arkefi transforms its collateralized RWAs into intelligent, fractionalized digital assets, allowing investors to own a piece of a high-value asset.
As Arkefi prepares to launch its platform, the above features, and unique selling points will help it open up the RWA investment landscape, offering new opportunities for investment into high-value assets to the AllianceBlock community.
Elevating Art and Exclusive Collectibles’ Value: Arkefi’s Curation, Preservation, and Seamless Transactions
Aside from RWA investment, Arkefi’s platform offering also improves how collectibles are valued, authenticated, and preserved. The platform assesses artworks using a comprehensive array of data points, including risk factors, value appreciation, and sell-through rates.
Secure RWA Storage in Switzerland: Only artworks that meet stringent standards are made available for sale, ensuring a curated and high-quality selection. To ensure the preservation of these precious artworks, they are held in freeports — secure and bonded warehouses in Switzerland, an ideal environment for long-term asset protection.
Investor-Friendly Lock-Up Terms: For sellers, Arkefi provides a chance to release liquidity from their collections. Once the terms are agreed upon, the artwork is taken into custody, tokenized, and then showcased on the platform for a one-month funding window. Following this, the funds are directly dispatched to a digital wallet, guaranteeing a secure and streamlined transaction. If the seller doesn’t address the outstanding sum before the contract’s end, the artwork’s ownership is retained by the buyers, offering potential for boundless profits.
What’s Next for Arkefi: Platform Launch, AMA, and Exciting News
This fusion of AllianceBlock’s technology and ARTBANX’es business experience will create a new standard for the tokenization of RWAs.
Ahead of the launch of the platform, more information will be published by the Arkefi and AllianceBlock teams, including media coverage, informative walkthroughs, tutorials, and exciting partnership announcements. What’s more, AllianceBlock Telegram will host an exclusive AMA session with Arkefi’s CEO, Mads Boie Thomsen.
