Valereum & RWA.io partner on digital asset shift

Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ) Gary Cottle and RWA.io co-founder and chief strategy officer Adam Bouktil joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more on the companies' newly-announced partnership. The collaboration aims to create a complete bridge between traditional financial markets and digital asset infrastructure, addressing persistent gaps in investor access and secondary market liquidity. Cottle explained that while tokenisation technology has advanced, the full toolkit to structure, administer, arrange, and distribute tokenised products remains fragmented. “No one entity yet has cracked the ‘I can do all of those things’,” he said, emphasising the importance of Valereum sitting in the middle to connect best-in-class participants. Bouktila discussed what drives adoption among issuers and investors, highlighting that access and education are now the key barriers—not technology or regulation. “You can bring any asset on chain. It doesn’t mean it’s going to sell,” he noted, stressing that product quality and structure are essential. Both highlighted the potential of collateralised lending, with Bouktila calling the growth “incremental at first, maybe transformative once the rails are really in place.” The partnership represents a strategic step toward building a fully integrated tokenized asset marketplace, blending institutional-grade regulatory compliance with emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) capabilities.
