ORQO, a new institutional asset manager operating at the intersection of traditional and decentralised finance, has launched a global platform, consolidating several existing entities and managing over $370million in combined assets. The new group is establishing its global headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
The launch brings together Mount TFI, Soil, Monterra Funds, Nextrope, and dedicated Real World Asset (RWA) tokenisation initiatives under the single ORQO brand. The platform is designed to provide a fully integrated investment ecosystem for institutional investors, including family offices and protocol treasuries.
Consolidating traditional and decentralised finance
The unified ORQO platform offers a range of investment solutions that bridge the gap between traditional finance and on-chain infrastructure. These include regulated private credit, public equities, crypto hedge fund strategies, tokenised real estate, and DeFi-native yield solutions.
The consolidated entities bring a mix of expertise to the new group. Mount TFI is a licensed fund manager in Poland with over 20 years of experience in traditional finance and more than $1billion in completed transactions. Soil is a DeFi yield platform focused on institutional-grade stablecoin yields, while Monterra Capital is a multi-strategy digital hedge fund. Nextrope serves as the groupās blockchain and AI engineering studio, delivering tokenisation and smart contract infrastructure.
Nicholas Motz, who co-founded and was involved in all the underlying entities, is appointed chief executive officer of the new group. Jamie Finn, co-founder of Securitize, who previously advised the Soil division, will expand his advisory role to the entire holding company.
āORQO is more than the sum of its companies ā it is a unified, global investment ecosystem,ā said Motz. āWith over 10 years of experience in digital assets and more than 20 years in traditional finance, along with over $1billion in completed transactions in traditional markets, we are combining institutional discipline with the transformative potential of blockchain.ā
Regulatory strategy and Abu Dhabi headquarters
ORQO currently holds licenses in Poland via the KNF and in Malta through the MFSA. The company is now in the process of obtaining a license from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to provide services to institutional clients in the UAE and the wider Middle East.
Underscoring the regionās strategic importance, ORQO will establish its new global headquarters in Abu Dhabi. The company stated its mission is to build a transparent, compliant, and scalable model for capital markets.
