Alloy and Obligate partner to bring on-chain bonds into institutional portfolio management systems

Berlin – 6 June 2024 — Alloy, a leader in digital asset investment technology, and Obligate, the leading on-chain capital markets platform, today announced a strategic partnership that will integrate Obligate’s tokenized bonds into Alloy’s comprehensive digital asset portfolio management and execution system. This collaboration aims to lead the way in shaping how institutional asset managers and crypto-native treasuries access and manage institutional real-world assets (RWA) within a wider portfolio context.

The partnership enables Alloy's users to directly access institutional-grade RWA yield opportunities and manage them alongside their crypto positions and institutional DeFi exposure without leaving the digital asset ecosystem.
At the same time, Obligate customers will have the capability to manage their digital bond holdings through a sophisticated portfolio management system, thereby improving their operational efficiency and investment oversight.

Alloy’s flexible integration options also enable it to bring digital assets to existing traditional portfolio management systems, allowing users to holistically manage traditional and on-chain securities in their familiar environment.Earlier this year, Alloy announced its strategic partnership withDeutsche Börse’s SimCorp, whose clients manage $30tn in assets on its multi-asset platform.

“This initiative is a direct response to increasing requests by clients, prospects, and partners about real-world assets. Investors see all these interesting offerings coming on-chain but fundamentally don’t have the tools to manage them in a portfolio context. People would come to us and say, ‘We like tokenized assets, but how do I get them into my portfolio?’. Paul Faecks, CEO and Co-Founder of Alloy, said. “Our goal is to widen our digital asset coverage beyond crypto and institutional DeFi by integrating the world of RWA in the same system. We’re super excited to start this journey with Obligate, whose innovative on-chain securities fulfill the high institutional standards our clients are accustomed to.”

"Integrating with Alloy’s platform represents a significant milestone in our commitment to bridging traditional finance with the DigitalAsset space," said Matthias Wyss, CEO at Obligate. "Solutions likeAlloy are essential to bring on-chain assets into the hands – or onto the screens rather – of institutional investors. Our products are natively issued on-chain while being legally equivalent to regular bonds and globally enforceable. Together, we are establishing a new standard for how asset management can encompass a wide range of asset classes, including traditional securities and emerging digital assets."

This strategic partnership between Alloy and Obligate highlights the dedication of both companies to innovation and their shared commitment to strengthening the infrastructure for institutional digital assets.
