In a significant development for blockchain adoption, Allo has partnered with Optimism Collective’s Superchain to tokenize $2 billion in real-world assets. This partnership will enable the $2b in real-world assets to be tokenized, marking a major step in the acceptance of blockchain.
The move underscores the growing potential of blockchain, not only as a technology for the forward-thinking present and future, but it also represents a significant step towards building a bridge between conventional financial assets and the digital economy.
The Dawn Of Asset Management
But this integration of Allo with the Superchain will change the way people manage their assets and invest. Allo is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency futures trading platform and they set out to change how people and institutions transact with physical assets globally, through Providence (to be announced).
Tokenisation is the method used to covert real world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain, enables the trading of the physical assets in real time over DIMI including liquidity, transparency and access.
The Superchain initiative is at the center of Optimism Collective’s mission to restore democracy and equity to finance. Since Optimism is a Layer 2 solution to Ethereum, this will allow many to work on the Allo tokenization system as the platform has been designed for scalability and reducing cost.

Instant Global Settlement is one of the headline features that are made possible by this partnership. Trading most real-world assets are frustratingly slow and restricted (due to these needing a lot of location validation). By removing these obstacles, the Superchain technology hypothesizes that blockchain transactions cross borders at speeds comparably faster than the existing ones which is also secure.
A comparison: Real world assets (tokenization) ->2B
It appears the market is ready to move beyond an isolated few, to mass, real world, use case, North of $2b in Assets tokenized with Allo is not only a first, but the largest to datejets on to the blockchains. In other words, Allo is opening up a fresh market where anywhere from property, commodities or even artwork can be tokenized and then traded and monitored on a decentralized platform.
As a result, the total capital that enters the blockchain space, corresponds to the real technological utility and financial potential of the realm of decentralized asset management, thus attracts institutional and retail investors into the blockchain world. And this in turn can provide a reasonable footing for the markets on the one hand and an even stronger investment strategies on the other hand which could take the best from good old asset classes and their digital twins.
