AllianceBlock and ABO Digital’s structured products
ABO Digital offers a variety of structured financial products including convertible bonds, debt issuance, and warrants/options, providing the capital startups need to grow their customer and revenue base. It is also exploring the provision of alternative financial investments to institutions through tokenization.
The AllianceBlock and ABO Digital’s structured products will provide crypto projects with alternative funding options like issuing tokens to market makers or venture capitalists via a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT), to access additional liquidity from institutional capital providers with full compliance.
How the structured financial products work
Under the agreement, ABO Digital will negotiate and structure financial instruments depending on a project’s capital and liquidity requirements. AllianceBlock in collaboration with Nexera Protocol’s infrastructure and NexeraID’s identity will tokenize structured financial instruments and convert them into Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) with full compliance for capital providers that do not want to hold digital assets.
Funds from capital providers will be locked into smart contracts and disbursed to projects only after the minimum funding threshold has been raised. The capital providers will receive a traditional AMC, with AllianceBlock managing the assets by holding the convertible bonds, debt or warrants.
ABO Digital will receive a structuring fee based on the amount raised, with AllianceBlock taking the majority of fees for managing the AMC or directly through the tokenized asset.
