ALT Advance Offers Liquidity Against Investment Grade Alternative Assets
ALT, a simple, modern investment platform that lets you buy and sell alternative assets just like stocks, 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.
