Superstate: Bringing Real World Assets to Crypto
Superstate is a project focused on bringing real world assets to the crypto space, with a specific emphasis on institutional investors. The founder, Robert Leschner, has a background in DeFi and has identified the need to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and on-chain financial markets. The project aims to tokenize assets such as short-term government debt and provide a way for investors to access the yield generated by these assets. Superstate sees a huge potential market in offering institutional investors the opportunity to earn attractive yields on assets that are traditionally held off-chain. The team is focused on building regulatory-compliant investment products that cater to the needs of institutional investors and facilitate the transfer and trading of tokenized assets on-chain. While the project is still in its early stages, Superstate envisions a future where a wide range of asset classes, such as equities and commodities, are tokenized and accessible on-chain.
