RWA Edition: How Splint Invest is Democratizing Luxury Investments
Whiskey, wine, cars, and luxury handbags… All in one platform.
In the world of investments, traditional assets like stocks and bonds have long dominated the scene, leaving alternative assets—such as art, whisky, and classic cars—out of reach for most retail investors. But, what would it feel like to own a piece of a rare Hermès handbag or a vintage Patek Philippe watch without breaking the bank? That's exactly what Splint Invest is making possible, turning luxury investments from exclusive clubs into open playgrounds for everyone, starting with as little as €50.
This innovative platform is bridging the gap between dream investments and everyday investors, and in our latest RWA edition, we're diving deep into how they're doing it.
Meet Splint Invest: Breaking Down Barriers in Alternative Investments
Historically, alternative investments were reserved for the wealthy due to high entry costs, limited access, and the complexities of managing unique assets. Splint Invest is challenging this perspective with a revolutionary idea: what if luxury investments could be as easy as buying a coffee?
The platform was born out of a desire to democratize access to high-value luxury assets. What started as a niche project in whiskey casks has evolved into a revolutionary investment platform offering fractional ownership of rare and tangible items like art, classic cars, luxury handbags, and more on blockchain technology.
Using their easy-to-navigate app, Splint Invest enables users to explore and co-own over 200 curated assets across 13 categories, including:
Rare Wines that increase in value as they age.
Luxury Handbags from iconic designers like Hermès and Chanel.
Classic Cars prized for their rarity and historical significance.
Art and Collectibles that diversify and stabilize portfolios.
This approach not only democratizes access to luxury investments but also makes diversification, a critical investment principle, attainable for everyone.

How Splint Invest is Transforming the Industry
Splint Invest isn’t just making luxury investments accessible; it’s transforming the very perception of investing with blockchain technology. The platform uses tokenization to represent ownership of assets, creating digital certificates (Splint Tokens) that are stored on a public blockchain.
The tokenization of assets—offered through blockchain technology for Swiss users—ensures transparency, security, and ownership validation. Whether through centralized or decentralized co-ownership, investors can trust their investments are secure, with every transaction immutably recorded.
Since its launch in 2021, the platform has witnessed impressive growth. The numbers speak volumes:
292% year-over-year growth in invested funds.
Over €11 million invested by nearly 10,000 active users.
Expanding markets in Switzerland, Germany, and the UK, with upcoming launches in France.
With such metrics, it’s no surprise Splint Invest has attracted prominent investors, including Haute Capital Partners and Tenity, securing over €3.5 million in funding to date.
Why Splint Invest Matters
In an era where financial markets are volatile, alternative assets serve as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. For instance, rare whiskey has shown consistent annual returns of over 10%, outperforming many stock indices. Beyond their financial appeal, these assets carry intrinsic value tied to history, craftsmanship, and culture. Splint Invest taps into this duality, blending financial potential with personal passion.
What makes Splint Invest stand out is its ability to offer more than just investment opportunities—it’s creating a financial ecosystem. The app supports multiple payment options, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and features a marketplace where users can trade Splints. This dynamic marketplace improves liquidity and provides flexibility for investors to adapt their portfolios effortlessly.
But the vision of the project goes beyond profit; it’s about empowering individuals and creating an inclusive financial ecosystem where:
Luxury is no longer reserved for the ultra-wealthy.
Investments can be tied to passion and personal interest.
Technology makes financial opportunities transparent and accessible.
A Future Where Everyone Can Invest
The reality is that this project addresses real pain points in traditional investing, from high entry costs to limited diversification options. By using blockchain and fractional ownership, Splint is creating a new investment model that's both exciting and democratically inclusive.
In a world where financial opportunities often feel gatekept, Splint Invest isn't just building another investment platform—they're rewriting the rules of who can participate in luxury investments.
The future of investing might not be about how much money you start with, but about the opportunities you can access. And that's why we're closely watching Splint Invest.
