AllianceBlock wants to link old-style finance with crypto finance. These are known as TradFi and DeFi. It uses tools that run on a blockchain, so users do not have to trust a middleman.
AllianceBlock has teamed up with ABO Digital, the crypto investment arm of Alpha Blue Ocean. Together, the two firms will offer tokenized structured products. These are aimed at big investors and crypto projects that want new ways to raise money.
Tokenized means turned into digital tokens on a blockchain. Structured products are investments built from several parts, such as bonds and options.
How the Deal Works
The two firms will use the Nexera Protocol and AllianceBlock’s own blockchain tools. With them, they will turn classic financial products into tokens.
Some investors would rather not hold crypto. For them, the tokens can be wrapped into Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs). An AMC is a regulated product run by a fund manager.
The deal is a big step for AllianceBlock as it keeps linking the two worlds.
ABO Digital was set up to give startups the money they need to grow. It offers crypto firms several kinds of funding, including:
- Convertible bonds, loans that can turn into shares or tokens
- Debt issuance
- Warrants and options, rights to buy assets at a set price later
ABO Digital will also look at using tokens to offer big investors new kinds of deals.
Novel Financing Solutions for Crypto Startups
The new products will give crypto projects another way to raise money.
For example, a project could sell tokens to traders or venture funds through a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT). A SAFT is a contract that promises investors tokens at a later date. This helps projects get more cash from big investors while still following the rules.
Who does what
Each partner plays a clear role in the deal:
- ABO Digital will help shape each deal to fit what the project needs.
- AllianceBlock will turn these deals into tokens and then into AMCs that meet the rules. It will use Nexera Protocol and the NexeraID identity tool.
- Smart contracts will hold participants’ funds. A smart contract is code on a blockchain that runs by itself when set conditions are met.
- The funds go to projects only after a minimum funding target is reached.
What investors receive
In return for their money, investors get a standard AMC. AllianceBlock will act as the fund manager. It will hold any bonds, debt or warrants that are issued.
ABO Digital will earn a fee based on how much is raised. AllianceBlock will collect most of the fees. It earns them for running the AMC or through the token itself.
Benefits for participants
Both big firms and everyday investors stand to gain. They can back crypto projects in ways that carry less risk and follow the rules more closely.
This is a different kind of stake than holding a project’s tokens directly. The Fundrs platform will also let them join token sales. These sales are normally open only to big investors and the AllianceBlock community.
Bridging the Gap Between Crypto and Traditional Financial Markets
The two firms will also help close the gap between crypto and classic markets. Big crypto funds, private equity firms and others will be able to fund projects through tokens of familiar products. These include:
- Shares
- Options
- Bonds
- Tokenized funds
- Tokenized AMCs
As tokens, these products can reach new groups of investors on both sides. This should make assets easier to buy and sell.
Rachid Ajaja, CEO of AllianceBlock, said: “Through this strategic partnership, AllianceBlock is set to revolutionize the industry by leveraging its infrastructure to tokenize traditional financial instruments and new instruments for the digital asset space, taking a giant leap forward in providing institutions with a more compliant and risk-averse way to take advantage of DeFi’s benefits.
“This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies and the industry as a whole, demonstrating our commitment to innovation, compliance, and risk management. The future of finance is looking brighter than ever.”
Why tokenizing real-world assets matters
Big investors are watching real-world assets closely. These are things like property or bonds that are turned into tokens. They could change how investing works.
Today, many of these assets are still traded the old way. Who owns what is often kept on paper. This makes deals slow and costly. It also makes it hard to split an asset into smaller parts.
Tokenization changes this in three ways:
- Investors can own a small slice of an asset.
- Trading becomes faster and simpler.
- More people can reach new markets, which become safer and fairer.
As a result, tokens are set to reshape how assets are managed for years to come. Our guide to RWA.xyz and real-world asset data explains how this market is tracked.
Amine Nedjai, CEO of ABO Digital, said: “Together, ABO Digital and AllianceBlock represent the perfect combination of innovation, expertise, and professionalism in the cryptocurrency market.
“With our combined effort, we aim to bring a fresh perspective to the world of decentralized and traditional finance and attract more institutional capital providers. We look forward to working with AllianceBlock and paving the way for a new era in finance, one that is both creative and professional.”
Paving the Way for Innovative Cross-Industry Benefits
This deal shows how banks and the crypto industry can help each other. As crypto grows, AllianceBlock is bringing more complex products into the space. Tokens will give banks and funds access to a new kind of asset that was out of reach before.
