Lympid is a platform that allows you to invest in fractions of alternative assets like luxury handbags, watches, horses, etc. We make it easy for investors to diversify their portfolios with high-potential, tangible assets traditionally reserved for the wealthy by using fractional ownership.
How can I own a fraction of an asset?
On the Lympid platform, you can own a fraction of an asset through a process called fractional ownership. The issuer of the asset, in this case Lympid tokenizes the asset meaning it's converted into digital tokens representing ownership shares.
At Lympid, owning a fraction of an alternative asset is simple and accessible. Instead of purchasing an entire asset, you can buy the shares or fractions through our platform and become a co-owner.
This allows you to invest in high-value assets with a smaller financial commitment. Each fraction represents a specific co-ownership percentage of the handbag, enabling you to diversify your investments across multiple items without the need for substantial upfront capital.
How are assets stored?
Storage depends on the asset type. We partner with reputable storage providers who specialize in handling luxury goods, offering optimal protection against environmental factors and potential damages.
In the case of show jumping horses, those are managed by our partner who trains them, feeds them and takes them to competitions.
What happens if the asset is damaged?
In the unlikely event that a asset in our portfolio is damaged, Lympid's insurance policy covers repair or replacement costs, including the horses.
What happens if Lympid goes bankrupt?
Lympid is committed to maintaining financial stability and adheres to all regulatory requirements to protect your investments. We have partnered with two European financial institutions regulated in Estonia and in Germany with the respective licenses: FVT000546 & 50085612.
In the rare case of bankruptcy, your investments are held in segregated accounts separate from our operational funds, ensuring that your assets remain protected and can be transferred to another trusted platform or returned to you.
Unlike other investment platforms, there is a real physical asset behind each investment you make, so, in this case there is always collateral that can be liquidated to return your funds. Additionally, our asset storage and insurance policies provide an extra layer of security for your investments.
How secure are my investment?
Your investments with Lympid are highly secure. We implement advanced measures, including encryption for all transactions, secure user authentication, and regular security audits to protect your data and funds.
Additionally, the usage of our partnerships with insured, climate-controlled storage facilities and rigorous authentication processes taken by our Expert partners, ensure that your investments are preserved and safeguarded against any potential risks.
Who decides when the asset is sold and for what price?
Each asset launched on the platform has a detailed factsheet with asset’s value projections, a defined investment horizon and exit scenarios. For each handbag, the investment period is disclosed in the factsheet, the asset can be sold in the Platform or to an External party if it can meet the Aggressive Returns targets.
At the end of the investment period if the asset did not achieve the Aggressive Return target, we engage with our partners, to sell the asset to find an appropriate buyer at the best possible price within 6 months.
The decision to sell an asset and determine its sale price is made by Lympid's team of experienced investment managers.We continuously monitor market trends, demand, and the performance of each asset to identify optimal selling and marketing opportunities.
How are these fractions taxed?

The yield comes directly from tokenized USA T-Bills, in other terms, from US debt. Your funds are invested in a combination of US Dollars held in US Demand Deposit Accounts (i.e. Bank Accounts) and short-term US Treasuries.
The US Treasuries will be in a “cash custody” accounts at Morgan Stanley and StoneX. The US Treasuries will not be rehypothecated.
Funds are hold at third-party qualified custodians, receive daily accounting from NAV Consulting, and will receive annual audits.
Colateral Agent is Ankura Trust Company. As Collateral Agent, Ankura will be prepared to seize the assets that secure the tokenized T-Bills and repay holders if the tokenization company was to cease operations or breach certain covenants of the debt.
These agreements give Ankura the legal right and obligation in its role as Collateral Agent, to take control of assets and repay Tokenholders upon the occurrence of certain events of default and upon acceleration of the loans.
Events that trigger such an action include a failure to repay redemptions, a failure to keep the tokenized T-Bills adequately capitalized, or the tokenization company filing for bankruptcy. Investors in the tokenized T-Bills have what’s known as a “first security interest” in the tokenization company underlying bank deposits and Treasuries, with Ankura Trust acting as the collateral agent the tokenization company is a bankruptcy-remote.

What is the Bitcoin Network?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that was created by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto (who no one knows who he/she is). It is built on a blockchain network, which is a decentralized ledger with the records of all transactions made using Bitcoin.
Transactions made using Bitcoin are recorded in the blockchain. Once a transaction is confirmed and added to the blockchain, it cannot be altered or reversed. This way everyone has a copy of the transaction and no one can mess with it. Since it is decentralized it allows for fast, worldwide and inexpensive transfers of value, as well as a level of privacy and security.
This level of security comes with a trade off, if you send Bitcoin to a wrong address or to an address on another chain (eg. Ethereum chain) the funds will be permanently lost since there is no way to revert the transaction.
When you do a transfer of assets from one wallet to another you need to be sure that you are sending the assets in the same chain. Meaning that if you have a Bitcoin wallet you can only send the assets in the Bitcoin chain and not on the Ethereum network, or BNB chain.

What is the Ethereum network?
Ethereum (ETH) is a blockchain platform that is used for decentralized applications (dapps) and smart contracts. As with Bitcoin network it operates as a decentralized, public ledger that records all transactions made on the network.
Unlike Bitcoin, which was designed primarily as a digital currency, Ethereum was created with the intention of allowing developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) on top of its blockchain. Ethereum has become a popular platform for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
