Colb is bridging traditional finance and decentralized systems by tokenizing premium real-world assets such as pre-IPO shares.
Colb Asset SA, a Geneva-based fintech company specializing in real-world asset tokenization, has secured CHF 6 million in an oversubscribed seed extension round. The funding aims to broaden access to traditionally exclusive investment opportunities through blockchain technology.
The investment comes from a private investor with over USD 20 billion in assets under management, underscoring institutional confidence in Colb’s approach to reshaping capital markets. Founded in 2020, Colb has developed a platform that brings pre-IPO equity and institutional-grade wealth management strategies on-chain, allowing qualified investors to access them more easily and transparently.
The new capital will support the company’s continued development of its fintech infrastructure, with an emphasis on cross-border payment systems and further deployment of its compliant stablecoin, $USC. Colb’s offerings are built for on-chain treasury managers and global investors seeking exposure to assets historically confined to private financial circles.
Tokenizing growth sectors for global access
Colb’s tokenized products, such as the Colb Managed Token (CMT), Colb Tracker Token (CTT), and Colb Fund Token (CFT), represent institutional-grade portfolios in sectors like infrastructure, energy, agribusiness, and utilities. These sectors are not only geo-economically strategic but also known for their long-term growth potential.
The company is also targeting expansion into emerging markets, using blockchain to streamline access to regulated, high-caliber investment vehicles. By removing traditional barriers to entry, Colb aims to democratize premium investment products while maintaining rigorous compliance with Swiss financial regulations.
Colb’s platform is built on Moonbeam’s cross-chain infrastructure, supporting interoperability and scalability across different blockchain ecosystems. The firm’s long-term vision is to offer a fully decentralized, platform-agnostic investment environment.
With its headquarters in Geneva and a growing international investor base, Colb positions itself at the intersection of traditional wealth management and decentralized finance. The seed extension signals strong momentum for the company’s next growth phase in Western Switzerland’s evolving fintech landscape.
