CurioInvest

What CurioInvest does

CurioInvest is a Zug, Switzerland-based private company that builds a blockchain-based tokenization platform for real-world assets (RWA), enabling fractional ownership of rare cars, fine art, collectibles, real estate, commodities, and startup equity or debt instruments. Its core technology stack uses Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for tangible assets and digital-native tokenization for intangibles, with a compliance-first modular architecture supporting multiple blockchains including EVM, Polkadot, Ton, Near, and forthcoming BTC native solutions. The platform is complemented by CurioDAO, a governance mechanism with direct voting, and CTn, a platform token for ecosystem participation.

The company serves two sides of a B2B market: asset issuers (startups, SMEs, family offices, real estate developers, commodity originators) seeking to unlock liquidity from illiquid holdings, and investors who complete KYC to access tokenized fractional ownership. CurioInvest monetizes through professional services fees for tokenization work (due diligence, SPV establishment, token economics, smart contract development) and transaction-related fees on tokenized offerings. Pricing is delivered via custom fixed-price proposals following a free scoping call, typically under multi-year contracts, rather than published tiers.

CurioInvest pioneered the world's first tokenized bond representing a physical asset out of Europe in 2019 and has assembled a disclosed pipeline of five enterprise tokenization projects spanning approximately $235M–$335M in deal value across EU commodities, an EU family office, Southeast Asian real estate, EU rare car collections, and an EU solar park. The company is backed by Whitestone Investments and individual angels affiliated with 1inch and Near, with a leadership team led by co-founders Fernando Verboonen and Valerie Florence Halter, supported by CTO Vladimir Kislinskii.

• Particle: Particle (formerly known for rare asset and collectible trading) bridges traditional fractional ownership of collectibles with blockchain rails. Comparable to CurioInvest's rare cars and collectibles tokenization vertical.
