Phlomis Finance, the leading real-world asset (RWA) platform operating on Chromia’s L1 blockchain, has announced a collaboration with responsAbility. The Swiss-based company specializes in impact investing and will work with Phlomis to develop high-impact investment opportunities while setting a new standard for transparency and efficiency in the RWA market.
Making an Impact Onchain
The partnership between Phlomis Finance and responsAbility aims to transform the way digital asset investors access high-impact investment products. By integrating responsAbility’s portfolio of private debt and equity solutions into Phlomis Finance’s blockchain ecosystem, the collaboration unlocks new opportunities for retail and institutional investors alike.
One of the most tangible aspects of the partnership is the onchain recording of financial and impact reporting events, including securitization, primary issuance, and secondary trading. By utilizing Chromia’s blockchain as its secure data layer, Phlomis ensures complete transparency and accelerated settlement for all transactions. Furthermore, Chromia’s infrastructure facilitates the seamless sharing of documents and reporting data, streamlining processes for investors and fund managers.
The Rise of Real-World Assets
Real-world assets have emerged as a major growth area in decentralized finance (DeFi). By tokenizing tangible assets such as real estate, private debt, and US Treasuries, RWAs bridge the gap between the digital and traditional financial worlds. Tokenized assets are on course to represent a multi-trillion-dollar market within the next decade, driven by demand from institutional and retail investors seeking yield and diversification.
RWAs enable investors to access previously illiquid markets while benefiting from blockchain’s inherent advantages, such as transparency, faster settlement times, and reduced counterparty risk. The integration of RWAs into DeFi platforms also introduces stable, income-generating assets, enhancing portfolio resilience in volatile markets. The collaboration between Phlomis and responsAbility will give investors access to tokenized products that deliver measurable impact through a focus on measures such as poverty reduction, while simultaneously earning their investors market returns.
responsAbility Makes the Case for Impact Investing
Phlomis Finance, built on the Chromia blockchain, specializes in bringing real-world assets to digital asset investors. By leveraging blockchain technology, Phlomis enhances transparency and resilience in the investment process. Its platform not only enables the tokenization of assets but also provides tools like onchain financial reporting and virtual data rooms via Chromia’s Filehub solution. This architecture ensures that investors have secure, real-time access to key information, creating an ecosystem designed for trust and efficiency.
Its decision to team up with responsAbility Investments AG, which was founded in 2003 and now manages over $5.1 billion in assets, will shine a spotlight on impact investing as a subset of the RWA market. The firm specializes in private debt and equity investments across three key sectors: Financial Inclusion, Climate Finance, and Sustainable Food. By aligning its investments with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), responsAbility empowers businesses and individuals in emerging markets to drive sustainable economic growth.
From financing micro and small enterprises to advancing women’s economic empowerment, responsAbility has deployed more than $15.7 billion in impact investments globally. Its partnership with Phlomis Finance will combine decades of expertise in impact investing with the capabilities of blockchain technology to open up new opportunities for onchain users. By leveraging tokenization, onchain reporting, and transparent data layers, this partnership aims to set a new benchmark for how real-world assets are managed and accessed.
