On Wall Street in New York and the City of London, high-net-worth investors are willing to spend a fortune to compete for a share of scarce real estate and mineral resources, while ordinary people’s choices are often limited to low-yield government bonds or funds. This split is being broken by a financial technology company called Aetheris. Through NFR (non-homogeneous rights) – a blockchain-based RWA (real world asset) digitization solution, Aetheris allows global investors to fairly participate in high-value asset investments that were once monopolized by oligopolies with a starting point of $100.
The core breakthrough of NFR is to solve the “liquidity paradox” of traditional RWA. Taking a platinum mine in South Africa as an example, the actual value of the asset is about 1.2 billion US dollars, but due to the complex equity structure and high transaction costs, it has been difficult to realize in the long run. Aetheris splits its income rights into 100 million NFR tokens through smart contracts, each corresponding to an annualized dividend and asset appreciation right of 0.0001%. Investors can buy and sell at any time on the platform with USDT, and all transaction records are uploaded to the chain in real time to ensure transparent ownership. Compared with the threshold of at least 500,000 US dollars and a 2-year lock-up period for traditional private equity funds, NFR has increased liquidity by more than 90 times, with an average daily trading volume of 23 million US dollars.
In terms of transparency and security, NFR has redefined the standards of RWA. Traditional RWA relies on audit reports and legal documents, but the 780 million euro financial fraud case exposed by a European real estate fund in 2023 exposed the fragility of the centralized model. Aetheris’ NFR model has built a decentralized trust mechanism: assets must be verified by third-party institutions such as Kroll before being stored, and the value must be over-collateralized by more than 30%; smart contracts automatically execute rent and dividend distribution to eliminate the risk of human intervention; all on-chain data is open to investors for query, and the Big Four accounting firms issue compliance reports on a monthly basis. This dual guarantee of “code + system” has kept the platform at zero default record since its launch.
What is more noteworthy is the promotion of NFR to democratize RWA investment. Aetheris’ “Global Green Energy NFR Program” packages assets such as Brazilian rainforest carbon sinks and Indian solar power stations. Investors can hold carbon credit income rights with a minimum of US$100, with an annualized return of 8%-15%.”In the past, these opportunities only belonged to sovereign funds, but now my pension account can also participate.” An Australian teacher commented. Data shows that the average return of individual investors on the platform reached 14.2%, 6 percentage points higher than traditional RWA funds.
NFR’s cross-border circulation capabilities also subvert tradition. With the UK FCA license and Singapore MAS certification, Aetheris’ NFR assets can be seamlessly connected to exchanges such as New York, Hong Kong, and Dubai. Taking a British manor asset package as an example, its NFR token was launched on 12 trading platforms at the same time, supporting multi-currency subscriptions such as US dollars, euros, and USDT, and raised US$120 million in 72 hours. This “one-place issuance, global circulation” model allows RWA to truly break through regional barriers for the first time and become a global allocation tool.
“Blockchain is not to replace traditional finance, but to make it more efficient.” Aetheris CTO Sarah Dawson emphasized. The platform has established strategic cooperation with Sotheby’s, PwC and other institutions. In the future, AI will be introduced for dynamic asset valuation and real-time capture of off-chain data through oracles. As the RWA digitalization wave sweeps the world, NFR may become the new standard for the trillion-level market – making every asset flow and every investor equal.
