ORQO Launches in Abu Dhabi With $370M AUM, Targets Ripple RLUSD Yield
Firm expands from Europe to Middle East with on-chain asset management push
Key Points:
ORQO Group debuts with $370M in assets, merging four traditional finance and crypto firms.
Its Soil yield platform will back Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger with private credit–based yield.
Expansion into Abu Dhabi highlights the growing push to bring real-world assets (RWAs) like private credit onto blockchain rails.
Details:
ORQO Group, an institutional asset manager, has officially launched in Abu Dhabi, consolidating Mount TFI (Poland), Monterra Capital (Malta), Nextrope (blockchain studio), and DeFi protocol Soil. Already licensed in Europe, ORQO is seeking regulatory approval from Abu Dhabi Global Market to expand services in the Middle East.
CEO Nicholas Motz said the goal is to become a “global on-chain asset manager,” combining off-chain finance with blockchain infrastructure.
The firm’s Soil platform will connect tokenized RWAs—such as private credit, real estate, and hedge fund strategies—with crypto liquidity, offering yields to RLUSD stablecoin holders. ORQO also plans to launch credit pools for institutional treasuries and protocol reserves.
The launch comes amid a broader trend of tokenizing traditional assets, with the RWA market projected to grow from ~$30B today to $18.9T by 2033 (Ripple & BCG).
