Hilbert Capital Selected by US Stablecoin Issuer Reservoir as Collateral Source
Hilbert Capital, the asset management division of Nasdaq-listed Hilbert Group AB (NASDAQ ticker: HILB B), has announced today that the asset manager has been tapped by Reservoir Protocol to use a tokenized version of Hilbert Capital’s V1 fund as collateral. Reservoir aims for their stablecoin, rUSD, to have a market cap of at least $500 million by year end. Leading research firm, Bernstein, estimates the stablecoin market to grow to $5 trillion over the next 5 years.
Nick Garcia, CEO and founder of Fortunafi, the platform tokenizing the Hilbert V1 fund commented, “Hilbert boasts an exceptional team with a first-class trading operation and will be instrumental in helping expand Reservoir’s reach. Leveraging the power of blockchain technology, the relentless rise of tokenization and stablecoins, as well as the success of Hilbert's V1 fund, we know this latest integration will be well received."
Hilbert Group CEO, Niclas Sandström: "We consider Reservoir to be one of the best operators in this space and we see a number of synergies which we are looking forward to develop as part of our partnership. This is a win-win in that Hilbert has established a new way of sourcing assets under management where we can grow alongside Reservoir’s rUSD stablecoin. In return, Hilbert is responsible for generating a robust yield for a significant portion of protocol-assets under management. In crypto lingo, this is a DeFi-way of unlocking newfound demand and markets that otherwise wouldn’t have been realized had it not been for the underlying technology powering the Reservoir protocol. This is partly leveraging our crypto native DNA from COIN360.com to become engaged in the ecosystem”.
