Bridging Swiss Wealth Management and Blockchain
Switzerland strengthens its role in finance and blockchain with the launch of the Colb Managed Token (CMT) by Geneva-based fintech firm Colb Asset SA. Introduced on February 14, 2025, CMT merges traditional Swiss wealth management with blockchain, offering investors access to a diversified, actively managed portfolio.
Tokenizing Traditional Wealth Management
Colb Asset SA, founded in 2020, focuses on real-world asset tokenization to make premium financial products more accessible. The CMT token is managed by NS Partners SA, a Geneva-based wealth management firm with over 60 years of experience and 12 billion Swiss francs in assets. CEO Yulgan Lira highlights growing demand from blockchain organizations looking to diversify into Swiss-style wealth management. By tokenizing assets, Colb enables crypto foundations and DAOs to access institutional-grade investments without traditional banking challenges.
CMT provides exposure to a mix of equities, corporate and government bonds, and alternative assets, including stakes in the Frank Muller Luxury Fund and JPMorgan US Technology Fund. Security is ensured through a bankruptcy-remote Trust structure, protecting assets from operational risks. Investors maintain full native ownership via blockchain technology, ensuring transparency and security.
Strategic Partnerships and the Future of Tokenized Finance
Colb has already attracted major blockchain players, with the Moonbeam Foundation investing 500,000 Swiss francs into CMT, signaling strong market confidence. More institutional investors are expected to follow. NS Partners, formerly known as Notz Stucki, has been in global finance since the 1960s, managing 11 billion CHF. Its partnership with Colb marks a significant move into blockchain-integrated financial services.
CMT is part of a broader tokenized ecosystem that includes USC (USD Stablecolb), a stablecoin for seamless transactions. Although CMT has a three-year lock-up period, investors can trade it for USC to maintain liquidity. Colb also introduced a governance token, $COLB, allowing community participation in decision-making on platform fees, asset inclusion, and strategic developments. With a capped supply of one billion tokens, $COLB enables staking to capture protocol fees and provide exclusive investment access.
Switzerland’s regulatory framework provides clarity for tokenized securities, making it an attractive hub for blockchain innovation. The launch of CMT reinforces the country's leadership in financial innovation, bridging traditional finance with blockchain.
Conclusion
Colb’s CMT token represents a significant step toward integrating traditional wealth management with blockchain technology. By offering institutional-grade investments through a secure and transparent on-chain structure, Colb provides a new level of accessibility for crypto foundations and DAOs. With strong backing from established financial players like NS Partners and growing adoption from the blockchain community, CMT is well-positioned to shape the future of tokenized wealth management. As the financial sector continues to evolve, products like CMT highlight the potential for blockchain to enhance and expand investment opportunities globally.
