With Web3 technology and DeFi, the world of investing in fine art and rare collectibles is experiencing considerable transformation. Arkefi, a platform for investing in high-value real world assets (RWAs), is introduced to the Avalanche ecosystem by renowned decentralized tokenized markets infrastructure provider AllianceBlock. With the support of renowned art investment firm ARTBANX, Arkefi’s innovative strategy intends to transform the world of real-world asset (RWA) investments by giving crypto investors and High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) an accessible route to invest in prestigious works of art, automobiles, and collectibles.
Despite the expensive treasures exhibited on Arkefi, anybody may participate because of the platform’s open philosophy. The initial listing, for instance, will take investments as small as $100 USD.
The famous Danish-Vietnamese installation artist Danh Võ, situated in the thriving art center of New York City, will be included in Arkefi’s first luxury collectable investment. Võ has achieved international acclaim for his work, which has been shown at illustrious gatherings and venues including La Biennale di Venezia, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, and Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Notably, Võ’s artwork consistently has yearly appreciation rates of above 10%.
By using blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi), Arkefi increases access to high-value and unique art, automobiles, and collectibles on a transparent and user-friendly platform. Illiquid and unbankable assets are also made more liquid. Arkefi will revolutionize how people invest in tangible assets because of its support from AllianceBlock’s blockchain expertise and ARTBANX’s experience in the art sector.
Important Features of Arkefi
By emphasizing user accessibility, transparency, and ease while running on AllianceBlock’s decentralized platform, Arkefi differentiates out:
- Unlocking Liquidity for High-Value RWAs: By utilizing their valuable yet otherwise illiquid assets as collateral to access these funds, HNWIs may use Arkefi to unlock the liquidity of their high-value RWAs.
- Earnings on Investment: Arkefi ensures investors get obvious advantages. The principal and pre-agreed return are immediately credited to the digital wallet in the event of a buy-back. If not carried out, purchasers acquire complete ownership, creating more potential for profit.
- RWA digital twins: The Arkefi technology tokenizes and fractionalizes the high-value artwork with a digital representation on-chain using the Nexera Protocol, allowing art investment and fractional ownership.
- Digital twins with Partial Ownership: A wider range of investors and art fans may now invest in tokenized works of art thanks to Arkefi’s partial ownership feature, which allows modest capital contributions in a portion of the work.
- Outlined Steps: The user-friendly, step-by-step instructions provided by Arkefi provide easy platform navigation.
Curation and Preservation: Increasing Value
Through curation, authenticity, and preservation, Arkefi adds value above and beyond its investing capabilities:
- Secure RWA Storage: Only pieces of art that fulfill strict criteria are offered for sale, and they are safely kept in Swiss bonded warehouses to preserve their value.
- Friendly Holding Terms for Investors: Sellers might use their collections as a source of liquidity. A piece of art is tokenized and shown on the platform to raise money. Buyers keep ownership if not repurchased, offering more prospects for profit.
What Comes After for Arkefi
A new benchmark for tokenizing RWAs has been established by the combination of ARTBANX’s expertise and AllianceBlock’s technology. NexeraID, AllianceBlock’s identity management and compliance system, will be integrated as part of next updates, along with secondary market trading, dynamic pricing mechanisms, insurance pools, and an expansion of the company’s product portfolio to cover additional high-value asset classes like automobiles and diamonds.
By democratizing access to fine art and rare artifacts, Arkefi’s user-friendly strategy, supported by AllianceBlock, is altering the investing environment for RWAs. By fusing the worlds of expensive art and decentralized finance, the platform’s debut advances AllianceBlock’s goal of building the foundation for a decentralized tokenized market.
“I’m thrilled to witness DeFi’s potential in reshaping high-value real-world asset investment. Arkefi’s launch on the Avalanche network brings an already established model into the dynamic world of Web3. By combining our innovative tokenization infrastructure with ARTBANX’s expertise, we’re democratizing investment in art and collectibles, making it more equitable, efficient, and accessible for all.” said Matthijs de Vries, CTO and Founder of AllianceBlock.
