2023 has seen the launch of some exciting DeFi projects. As the space matures, we are seeing a lot of innovative products being created. One of these is HedgeUp (HDUP), a project building an alternative assets trading platform.
Making the alternative assets market accessible
The alternative assets market is an attractive, albeit lesser-known, investment market. It is where people go to invest in assets like gold, silver, diamonds, jewelry, artwork, wines, whiskeys, and more.
Compared to other investment markets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies, investing in alternative assets is a less volatile affair. This is because the value of things like gold and diamond tends to maintain a stable value over a long period of time.
Well, why aren’t alternative assets as popular as stocks and cryptocurrencies?
It all comes down to accessibility. Alternative assets aren’t as readily available as the more common investment vehicles are. For one, these assets tend to be very expensive to buy, ship, and store.
And unlike stocks and crypto, you can’t invest in these assets from the comfort and convenience of your phone. There is usually a mountain of paperwork and negotiations with intermediaries involved.
All these factors contribute to making the market one of the least accessible. Only the rich ever get to successfully invest in alternative assets, at least until now.
HedgeUp (HDUP) is a Web3 project on a mission to change that. According to its bio, the team wants to bridge the gap between alternative asset classes and crypto investors. So, they’re making investing in alternative assets as easy as investing in cryptocurrencies.
World's First WEB3 NFT Trading Platform
The HedgeUp (HDUP) team is building a platform that lets people invest in all kinds of alternative assets. But unlike all other such platforms, this one will be based on blockchain technology and uses NFTs to enable trading. This makes it the world’s first Web3 NFT trading platform for alternative assets.
HedgeUp (HDUP) works by tokenizing the assets in question and ‘converting’ them into NFTs. This involves minting NFTs to represent the assets on the blockchain. People then get to invest in these products by buying and selling the asset-backed NFTs. The physical assets themselves will be insured and stored in a highly-secured vault managed by the HedgeUp (HDUP) team.
Tokenization makes a world of difference in how people go about investing in alternative assets. For one, it makes the whole process super convenient. People can now trade gold just like they would crypto, by buying and selling gold-backed NFTs.
It also massively lowers the minimum investment amount. The HedgeUp (HDUP) project says that its platform allows people to fractionally invest in alternative assets. This means that rather than, for example, spending $10,000 to buy a luxury watch, you can spend $100 to own a fraction of that watch. You can then trade that fraction for profit.
According to the HedgeUp (HDUP) team, investors on their platform can get started with as little as $1. Therefore, anybody, anywhere in the world can invest in alternative assets on their platform.
This is what makes HedgeUp (HDUP) one of the most exciting projects currently in Web3. It has been backed by experts to succeed, with some predicting that its token, HDUP, will 30x before the end of the year.
HedgeUp (HDUP) is currently in presale and interested investors can buy for as little as $0.013 per token.
