Raredex 對稀土金屬進行代幣化，使機構資產類別的獲取民主化

Raredex 現已在 Arbitrum 區塊鏈上上線。這標誌著資產類別的可及性發生了重大轉變，此前該資產類別長期以來一直為機構投資者保留。

Blockhain technology is being used to make an asset class that was once only available to institutional investors now accessible to retail investors.

區塊鏈技術被用來使曾經只對機構投資者開放的資產類別現在對散戶投資者開放。

Raredex, a blockchain-based platform on the Arbitrium network, is making it possible for investors to access rare earth metals. These metals are used in a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics to renewable energy. However, they have traditionally been difficult for retail investors to access due to the high entry costs — often above $10,000.

Raredex 是 Arbitrium 網路上基於區塊鏈的平台，使投資者能夠獲取稀土金屬。這些金屬廣泛應用於從消費性電子產品到再生能源的各個產業。然而，由於進入成本高昂（通常超過 10,000 美元），散戶投資者傳統上很難進入它們。

Raredex solves this problem by enabling fractional ownership using blockchain-based tokenization, where each token represents one kilogram of physical metal. This allows investors to purchase smaller amounts of the metal and gain exposure to the asset class.

Raredex 透過使用基於區塊鏈的代幣化來實現部分所有權來解決這個問題，其中每個代幣代表一公斤實體金屬。這使得投資者能夠購買少量的金屬並獲得對該資產類別的投資。

According to Louis O’Connor, chief executive officer of Raredex, this development will benefit early adopters by giving them access to an asset class that was typically reserved for governments or the well-connected, wealthy individuals. Now, investors on a smaller scale can enter the market with far less capital.

Raredex 執行長 Louis O'Connor 表示，這項發展將使早期採用者受益，讓他們能夠接觸到通常為政府或人脈廣泛的富有個人保留的資產類別。現在，規模較小的投資者可以用更少的資金進入市場。

Raredex stores its physical metals in a bank-grade vault operated by Tradium in Germany to ensure custody and availability. Each token is tagged with extensive source-of-origin data, allowing investors to verify the provenance of their tokens. Additionally, blockchain technology creates an unchangeable record of ownership, reducing the chances of fraud and increasing transparency.

Raredex 將其實物金屬儲存在德國 Tradium 經營的銀行級金庫中，以確保託管和可用性。每個代幣都標有大量的來源數據，使投資者能夠驗證其代幣的來源。此外，區塊鏈技術創建了不可更改的所有權記錄，減少了詐欺的可能性並提高了透明度。

This launch comes at a time of increased interest in RWA tokenization. The update is part of a larger trend to tokenize real-world assets. In 2023, the RWA asset class grew by 700%, generating $860 million in revenue. By 2030, RWAs are expected to be a $16 trillion market, as reported by Boston Consulting Group and ADDX. The decentralized, tamper-proof nature of blockchain will increase transparency and trust, while fragmentation opens up new ways to access and invest in valuable assets.

此次發布正值人們對 RWA 代幣化興趣日益濃厚之際。此次更新是現實世界資產代幣化這一大趨勢的一部分。 2023 年，RWA 資產類別成長了 700%，創造了 8.6 億美元的收入。根據波士頓顧問集團和 ADDX 報道，到 2030 年，RWA 市場預計將達到 16 兆美元。區塊鏈的去中心化、防篡改性質將提高透明度和信任，而碎片化則開啟了存取和投資有價值資產的新方式。

Other similar initiatives include UBS Asset Management’s Ethereum-hosted tokenized investment fund and Archax’s $4.8 billion money market fund on the XRP Ledger.

其他類似的舉措包括瑞銀資產管理公司 (UBS Asset Management) 的以太坊託管代幣化投資基金和 Archax 的 XRP Ledger 價值 48 億美元的貨幣市場基金。

As there is rising demand for rare earth metals due to innovations in technology and clean energy, Raredex's platform could be a model for a wider wave of commodity trading on the blockchain, transforming the interaction of investors with physical assets.

由於技術和清潔能源的創新，對稀土金屬的需求不斷增長，Raredex 的平台可能成為區塊鏈上更廣泛的商品交易浪潮的典範，從而改變投資者與實體資產的互動。
