NEW YORK - July 21, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
ALT, a simple, modern investment platform that lets you buy and sell alternative assets just like stocks, today announced $200 million in new debt financing led by Atalaya Capital Management. The new funding comes on the heels of ALT's introduction of ALT Advance, a new lending product that lets investors borrow cash against their vaulted assets without having to sell them. ALT Advance provides liquidity against graded collectibles such as trading cards, watches, and sneakers, giving them a similar utility that is also afforded to traditional assets.
Mark Ricciardi, Head of Lending at ALT, says: "ALT has been able to transform its best in class data and vaulting infrastructure into a first of its kind productized lending solution for graded collectibles. ALT Advance is a revolutionary product that gives borrowers access to near-immediate liquidity in a flexible fashion, at affordable rates. Soon, ALT will be extending its lending solution into other areas such as venture-backed equity interests as we pursue our goal of unlocking the value of high-quality alternative assets."
Here's how ALT Advance works:
- Send assets to the ALT Vault: Borrowers send their graded collectibles to ALT's secure vaulting facility for safekeeping.
- Review terms: Borrowers review the transparent terms and conditions offered in real-time against their portfolio.
- Pay flexibly: Borrowers are able to prepay on a flexible payment schedule, including early payments, without penalty.
Borrowers have access to personalized support from experts throughout the entire process.
Alexis Ohanian, Investor, and Advisor at ALT, says: "I'm proud to have a front row seat for what ALT is creating. ALT's partnership with Atalaya for ALT Advance is a major milestone and innovation for ALT's customers and for the alternative assets industry overall. This launch is proof that ALT is living their mission to transform investing by unlocking the value of alternative assets."
Brian Moore, a Principal at Atalaya, says: "ALT's team has taken a novel approach to extending the reach of financial services. Atalaya's financial assets practice is well-aligned with this goal. We are excited to be associated with ALT and look forward to helping them continue to grow and flourish."

Marking the directorial debut of indigenous actor Soda Voyu, the film follows an eclectic group of oddball characters as they navigate all manner of supernatural obstacles in the hostile mountains, but fails spectacularly to be either scary or funny.
