Collateralize allows users to tokenize virtually any real-world asset – from baseball cards to real estate. The Solana-based protocol uses a dynamic bonding curve mechanism. Once an asset reaches its funding goal, it begins trading on the Meteora decentralized exchange (DEX), which has also audited Collateralize’s bonding curve program.

The platform applies a 1% fee on all transactions and a 5% fee when assets migrate to Meteora, with an additional 15% directed to the Meteora liquidity pool.
“Tokenizing RWAs makes sense when it enables something that wasn’t previously possible – like liquidity, programmability, or broader access,” said Pierre Hoffman, Co-Founder of Collateralize, via Telegram.
“We’re starting to see early examples of this, especially with publicly traded RWAs like U.S. Treasuries or equities. That’s already a meaningful shift.”
However, Hoffman added, the bigger opportunity lies in private assets, which lack access to deep liquid markets.
“If we can bring those onchain – under proper frameworks and with transparency – we can let markets decide which ones are valuable enough to be traded, collateralized, and used,” he said.
“It feels early, but the fundamentals are lining up.”
Collateralize sees liquidity as a key advantage. In its pitch deck, the team notes that while the crypto market hovers around $3 trillion, the market for illiquid real-world assets is a staggering $750 trillion.
With 15% of the token migration fee earmarked for liquidity, the protocol aims to address this gap.
“Liquidity is a prerequisite for any asset to be useful onchain,” Hoffman said.
“In our model, a portion of each token purchase goes directly into a dedicated liquidity pool. This ensures that once an asset is tokenized, it’s also immediately tradable.
We don’t see this as an overhead cost, but rather as a structural feature – something that helps bridge the gap between illiquid, offchain assets and the fast, composable nature of DeFi.”
