1. Brice Vandevoorde: Driving Trust, Scale, and
Innovation in Digital Assets

The world of finance is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in
its history. As traditional markets converge with digital innovation, the rise of
blockchain, tokenization, and digital assets is reshaping how value is created,
stored, and exchanged. Across the EMEA region, this shift is not just about
technology—it’s about trust, vision, and the leaders bold enough to guide
industries through uncharted territory.
At the forefront of this movement is Brice Vandevoorde, a seasoned entrepreneur
whose work with the Realiz Digital Assets Fund in Luxembourg reflects both
foresight and resilience. Through his leadership, Realiz Group has positioned
itself as a trusted partner in the evolving digital economy, bridging the gap

2. between institutional-grade finance and the opportunities presented by
decentralized innovation.
Guided by Learning, Driven by Purpose
Brice Vandevoorde’s journey began with a deep curiosity for financial markets
and emerging technologies. Early on, he recognized the transformative potential
of blockchain and digital assets, which led him to pursue specialized learning and
engage with global industry forums. A pivotal moment came during his
involvement in a blockchain-based project, where he witnessed how innovation
could redefine traditional finance.
This experience laid the foundation for Realiz Group, established in 2022 with a
mission to bridge the gap between conventional finance and the digital asset
ecosystem. Based in Luxembourg, the firm was built to offer transparent,
technology-driven investment strategies while upholding the highest ethical
standards. Guided by continuous learning and a senior team bound by shared
trust and experience, Brice positioned Realiz Group as a forward-looking
player—committed to sustainable growth, regulatory responsibility, and shaping
a resilient digital economy. Discipline and Innovation Born from Financial Pressure

3. The journey of Realiz Group has not been without obstacles, yet each challenge
has become a catalyst for growth. One of the earliest hurdles was navigating the
evolving regulatory landscape. Rather than treating compliance as a barrier, Brice
Vandevoorde positioned it as a strength—building trusted partnerships with legal
advisors, engaging policymakers, and embedding transparency into the firm’s
foundation.
Another defining challenge was that Realiz Group began entirely self-funded,
requiring the team to design a sustainable model while bearing significant
operational and compliance costs. This financial pressure fostered discipline,
innovation, and a sharp focus on value creation.
Perhaps most importantly, Brice recognized that credibility in digital finance
depends on ethics. By prioritizing integrity, client education, and transparent
practices, Realiz Group built resilience and long-term trust—qualities that
continue to distinguish the firm in an industry often marked by uncertainty.

4. A 360° Framework for Smarter Investing
Realiz Group is driven by the mission to democratize access to innovative digital
asset investment opportunities while ensuring sustainable growth and robust risk
management. The company seeks to empower clients—ranging from institutional
investors to high-net-worth individuals—with transparent, data-driven strategies
that blend the best of traditional finance with cutting-edge digital innovation.
What truly distinguishes Realiz Group is its holistic approach. The firm integrates
advanced blockchain analytics, machine learning models, and conventional
financial expertise into proprietary frameworks that provide a 360-degree view of
both opportunities and risks.
Equally important is Realiz Group’s commitment to education and client-centric
advisory. The team emphasizes knowledge-sharing as a cornerstone of trust,
enabling clients to make informed decisions in a complex and often
misunderstood space. This ethos, coupled with a strong adherence to regulatory
compliance and ethical practices, has set Realiz Group apart as more than just an
investment firm—it is a trusted guide shaping the future of responsible digital
asset investing. Realiz Group at a Glance

5. A Two-Year Journey to Democratize Real-World Assets
Strategic partnerships have been instrumental in Realiz Group’s growth, enabling
the firm to combine innovation with regulatory responsibility. Under Brice
Vandevoorde’s leadership, the company has been entrusted by a U.S.-based super
app to structure $35 million in tokenized bonds, supporting its global expansion
and showcasing Realiz’s institutional-grade expertise.

Equally significant is an upcoming partnership with a next-generation neo bank,
the result of two years of preparation. This collaboration will democratize access
to real-world asset (RWA) opportunities within a regulated framework,
reinforcing Realiz Group’s commitment to responsible innovation.
To accelerate its expanding pipeline, the firm is also launching a fundraising
campaign aimed at strengthening its Luxembourg base and driving faster
execution. By combining capital growth with strategic alliances, Realiz Group

scalable, secure, and client-focused solutions.
Trust Built on Ethics, Not Obligation
For Realiz Group, compliance and ethics are not obligations but foundations of
trust. Brice’s leadership has embedded transparency and accountability into
every aspect of its operations. Robust KYC and AML protocols, coupled with
strict governance frameworks, ensure that clients’ assets are managed with
security and integrity.

To reinforce credibility, Realiz Group partners with leading institutions—Woud
Law for legal oversight and Ernst & Young as auditor—aligning its practices with
global regulatory standards. Independent audits and clear disclosures further
strengthen client confidence in an industry often challenged by skepticism.

7. Equally important is the firm’s commitment to education and open dialogue. By
equipping clients with knowledge of risks and best practices, Realiz fosters
informed decision-making and long-term relationships. This dual focus on
compliance and client empowerment has made Realiz Group a trusted name in
digital finance, demonstrating that ethics and innovation can advance together.
A New Era for Digital Economies
Brice Vandevoorde foresees digital assets moving to the core of global finance
over the next three to five years, driven largely by regulatory clarity that will
encourage broader institutional and retail adoption. At the same time,
decentralized finance (DeFi) is expected to expand into mainstream industries
such as entertainment, sports, and commerce, creating new avenues of
engagement and value exchange.
Key technological shifts will further accelerate this evolution. Advances in
blockchain interoperability, scalability, and sustainability will support
widespread adoption, while privacy-focused solutions like zero-knowledge proofs
are likely to become essential for secure and compliant transactions. A
particularly promising development is the collateralization of Bitcoin, unlocking
liquidity while maintaining the security and stability of fiat-backed structures.
Realiz Group is already preparing for this future by collaborating with established
European banks to structure compliant, institutional-grade products such as
tokenized bonds and collateralized instruments. Through secure custody
frameworks and transparent governance, the firm continues to bridge traditional
finance with decentralized innovation. By anticipating these shifts, Brice and his
team are not only adapting to change but actively shaping the standards and
strategies that will define the future of digital economies.
