Collaterize Disrupts Traditional Finance with Solana-Powered RWA Tokenization Launchpad

Solana's blockchain just got a heavyweight upgrade—Collaterize is bringing real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain with a slick new tokenization launchpad.

Why it matters: Tokenizing everything from real estate to fine art isn't new, but doing it on Solana's cheap, fast rails? That's how you make Wall Street's legacy systems sweat.

The fine print: While bankers still argue about 'blockchain pilots,' DeFi builders are shipping products that actually move markets. Just don't expect the suits to admit they're three years behind.

The launchpad directly supports Collaterize’s native token’s price because creators must hold 100,000 COLLAT to qualify for launching. Moreover, every time a token graduates to Meteora, 75% of the 5% graduation fee is used to buy back COLLAT from the open market. These buybacks reduce circulating supply and create consistent demand pressure, especially as more tokens launch and graduate.

At press time, COLLAT is trading at $0.038, down 15% over the past 24 hours. The token has now retraced over 50% from the peak of the 350% rally in mid-May. The rally was sparked by a repost from Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, who shared the Collaterize launchpad demo on X on May 17, sending COLLAT price from around $0.20 to a high of $0.90 by May 20.
