CurioInvest Review 2026: What Happened to the Tokenized Ferrari?

CurioInvest offered one product to investors: CT1, a tokenized bond issued under a Liechtenstein-approved prospectus in 2019 and 2020, whose single payout depends on the issuer selling one 2015 Ferrari F12tdf. The issuer, Curio AG, was dissolved by administrative order in November 2023, renamed CT1 Investhub AG, restored in February 2025 and moved to Zug, where it is registered as 731 AG. AltStreet found no public confirmation that the Ferrari was sold or that sale proceeds were distributed to CT1 holders. In 2025 a multisig named ct1investhubag.eth paid four holders USD 1.50 per token for CT1 they sent it, on terms that are not public. Curio's governance token was exploited in March 2024. Today curioinvest.com sells tokenization services, offers nothing to investors and is closed to US persons; its 'Assets' menu links to XAUH, a gold token issued by a Panama company that runs on Curio's own JAMTON network.

What the data actually shows - TL;DR

CurioInvest, run from Zug by Fernando Verboonen, launched in 2019 to let small investors buy into collectible cars. It offered CT1: 1,100,000 tokens at USD 1.00, a debt security of Curio AG, a Liechtenstein special-purpose company, repaid only if the issuer sells one Ferrari F12tdf, which the prospectus says it is not obliged to do.

Read the full assessment

How many tokens investors paid for is not public. The issuer has since changed hands on paper: Liechtenstein's Office of Justice dissolved Curio AG and appointed a liquidator on November 2, 2023; a general meeting renamed it CT1 Investhub AG on November 29, 2024; the dissolution was lifted on February 28, 2025; and the company moved its seat to Zug, where it is registered as 731 AG with one board member and no audit, before Liechtenstein deleted it from its register on March 17, 2026. AltStreet found no public confirmation that the Ferrari was sold or that sale proceeds were distributed to CT1 holders.

On chain, a multisig named ct1investhubag.eth holds about 31% of CT1 and paid four holders USD 1.50 per token in 2025 for CT1 they sent it. Separately, CurioDAO's governance token was exploited in March 2024, when an attacker minted one trillion CGT, and was replaced. The website now sells tokenization services and is closed to US persons.

Issuer moved

Curio AG (FL-0002.594.728-9), the CT1 issuer, was dissolved ex officio by order of Liechtenstein's Office of Justice of November 2, 2023 and a liquidator appointed; its board, Fernando Verboonen and Valerie Florence Halter, was removed. Renamed CT1 Investhub AG on November 29, 2024, with a new purpose covering participations in the value of collector vehicles, it had the dissolution lifted on February 28, 2025, resolved on September 12, 2025 to move to Switzerland, and is registered in Zug as 731 AG (CHE-462.858.040). Liechtenstein deleted it on March 17, 2026.

1 car, 5+ years

CT1's prospectus was approved by Liechtenstein's FMA on July 18, 2019 for 1,100,000 tokens at USD 1.00: USD 1,023,500 for a 2015 Ferrari F12tdf and USD 76,500 of issue costs. The issuer may sell only at 25% over cost in the first two years and 20% over cost in the next three; after five years the floor becomes the 30-day average token price. AltStreet found no public confirmation that the Ferrari was sold or that sale proceeds were distributed to CT1 holders as of November 9, 2026.

USD 1.50

Paid per token by a 2-of-3 multisig whose ENS name is ct1investhubag.eth to four addresses that sent it CT1 between July and September 2025: 105, 12,384, 300 and 119 tokens, paid back in USDC or USDT to the same address within one to seventeen days. A fifth return of 1,063 CT1 has no visible payment back. The multisig also holds 73% of wCT1. Whether these payments were open to every holder, and where the money came from, is not public.

No ownership

The prospectus defines CT1 as a debt security ('Schuldverschreibung') of Curio AG. Holders have a conditional claim on the net sale proceeds, 'keinerlei Eigentum, Miteigentum oder Nutzungsrechte' (no ownership, co-ownership or use rights) in the car, and a pledge over it that the issuer does not guarantee would survive its insolvency. The 2020 brochure called the token '100% collateralized'.

Minted June 2020

On Ethereum, all 1,100,000 CT1 were minted to a single address on June 16, 2020, the day the subscription period was extended. Nothing moved until after the offer closed: on May 25, 2021 eleven first-hop transfers (nine of 110,000, one of 104,324, one of 200) and on May 28, 2021 eighteen more of 99 to 1,063 tokens (5,476 in total) emptied that address. The mint and the archived 'sold out' label leave the amount investors actually paid unresolved.

1 trillion CGT

The March 23, 2024 exploit transaction (block 19,498,911) minted 1,000,000,000,000 CGT, not the one billion in press reports and in CurioDAO's own statement, plus 1,000,000,000 CSC stablecoins, and sold them into Uniswap and SushiSwap pools. Before the exploit, CGT's supply was 63,000,000. CurioDAO's March 25, 2024 statement promised a replacement token on four chains and a separate year-long compensation plan for liquidity providers.

768 of 1,019

Pre-exploit Ethereum addresses that received an exact balance match in the new CGT within 120 days, 27.9 million CGT in total. The other 251 addresses held 35.1 million CGT: 61 contracts (liquidity pools, bridges, staking contracts) and 190 wallets with 8.6 million CGT. Replacement on other chains and the liquidity-provider payments are outside this check.

On-chain figures are AltStreet's reads of the Ethereum chain on November 9, 2026. Issuer history is from the Liechtenstein Amtsblatt and the Zug commercial register. Offering terms are from the archived prospectus; the amount actually paid by investors is not public. The exploit's dollar loss reported in the press is not used.

Quick Verdict

Is this platform right for you?

CurioInvest is a tokenization services brand whose one investor product, CT1, a Liechtenstein-approved bond on a single Ferrari, has no publicly confirmed sale or distribution five years on. Its issuer was dissolved ex officio in 2023, restored in 2025 and moved to Zug as 731 AG, and a multisig named for that issuer paid four holders USD 1.50 per token in 2025 on terms that are not public.

Read the full assessment

Its governance token was exploited for one trillion tokens in 2024. It offers nothing to investors today and excludes US persons. For holders, the useful questions are about the car, the payments and 731 AG; for anyone else, there is no product to buy.

Best for

  • Existing CT1 or CGT holders researching their position
  • Issuers assessing a tokenization vendor's record

Avoid if

  • You are a US person
  • You want a collectible-car investment with regular reporting and a defined exit
  • You need audited statements from the issuer

Top strengths

  • CT1 was issued under a prospectus approved by Liechtenstein's financial regulator, with an ISIN
  • The CT1 terms are detailed and public in the archived prospectus
  • wCT1 is backed one-for-one by CT1, verifiable on chain
  • A replacement governance token was issued within two weeks of the exploit; 768 of 1,019 pre-exploit Ethereum addresses received an exact balance match within 120 days
  • The 2025 payments by ct1investhubag.eth can be traced on both legs on chain

Key limitations

  • No public confirmation that the car was sold or proceeds distributed five years after issue; selling is at the issuer's discretion
  • Issuer dissolved ex officio in 2023, restored in 2025, and moved to Zug as 731 AG with one board member and an audit opt-out
  • USD 1.50 payments to four holders in 2025 with no published terms
  • Holders own a claim on the issuer, not the car; the pledge is not guaranteed in insolvency
  • No offer results, accounts or holder reporting; investor pages removed
  • March 2024 exploit minted one trillion CGT and one billion CSC; 251 of 1,019 pre-exploit Ethereum addresses without an exact balance match in the replacement
  • Swiss parent removed two auditors in eleven months
  • Closed to US persons

Quick Answers

What most investors want to know first

Liquidity

CT1 has 30 holders and 154 lifetime transfers, the last in September 2025; wCT1 has 58 holders and last moved in July 2025. The 2022 IX Swap listing was historical: pool liquidity moved to the issuer-named multisig in September 2024. Neither token is listed on a regulated market.

K-1 Timing

Not applicable.

Distributions

One payout, within four weeks of notifying holders after a sale, to registered holders only (prospectus C.16).

Overview

Platform Overview

A concise read on what the platform is, how the structure works, and where the practical friction shows up for real investors.

CurioInvest is the brand of a small Swiss group. Curio Capital AG (CHE-211.446.654, registered in Zug on July 11, 2018 with CHF 200,000 of capital, now in Baar) has a stated purpose of technology platforms and of financing, acquiring, holding and selling motor vehicles; the 2019 prospectus named it the sole shareholder of Curio AG (Vaduz, FL-0002.594.728-9, registered October 18, 2018 with CHF 100,000), the special-purpose company that issued CT1, whose board on the 2020 supplement was Rey Fernando Fuertes Verboonen and Martin Michael Wachter. That issuer has since changed name, board and country: dissolved ex officio in November 2023, renamed CT1 Investhub AG in November 2024, restored in February 2025 and moved in September 2025 to Zug, where it is registered as 731 AG (CHE-462.858.040, Baarerstrasse 79, CHF 100,000) with Valerie Florence Halter as sole board member.

Its shareholders today are not in the register. From 2020 the group built CurioDAO, which it describes as a Swiss association, with a governance token (CGT), a stablecoin (CSC) modeled on MakerDAO and a voting token (CURV), on Ethereum and other chains; the site lists EVM chains, Polkadot and TON. As captured November 9, 2026, curioinvest.com is a single page offering tokenization and DeFi services to issuers, a pipeline of prospective deals that have not launched, and an 'Assets' link in its menu to xauh.gold, the Herculis Gold Coin (XAUH), issued by Herculis Tokens SA of Panama and built on JAMTON, the Polkadot network CurioDAO launched in 2024.

In 2019 and 2020 it offered CT1, a tokenized bond on one Ferrari, to EEA investors under a Liechtenstein prospectus; AltStreet found no public confirmation that the car was sold or proceeds distributed. The issuer went through an ex officio liquidation, a rename and a move to Zug as 731 AG between 2023 and 2026. Curio went on to run CurioDAO and its tokens, which were exploited in March 2024. Today its website offers tokenization services to issuers, has no investor product and excludes US persons.

Companies and people

Issuer: 731 AG, Baarerstrasse 79, Zug (CHE-462.858.040), formerly CT1 Investhub AG and before that Curio AG, Vaduz (FL-0002.594.728-9; deleted in Liechtenstein March 17, 2026); sole board member Valerie Florence Halter. Brand and former parent: Curio Capital AG, Baarermattstrasse 8b, Baar (CHE-211.446.654), named as Curio AG's sole shareholder in the 2019 prospectus. Curio AG board on the 2020 supplement: Rey Fernando Fuertes Verboonen and Martin Michael Wachter. The current site quotes Fernando Verboonen and Vladimir Kislinskii (CurioDAO) as partners.

Regulation

CT1's prospectus was approved by the Financial Market Authority of Liechtenstein (approval July 18, 2019 in the prospectus, July 17 on the FMA's list; valid to July 2020); the issuer itself is not licensed or supervised. No SEC filing; not offered in the United States. The current site names no license or regulator.

What investors can buy today

Nothing on curioinvest.com. CT1 and wCT1 can be transferred on Ethereum and the new CGT trades on decentralized exchanges, but none is offered by the site and all are closed to US persons per the footer.

Fees (CT1)

Issue costs of USD 76,500 priced into the USD 1,100,000 issue (6.95%); running costs of about CHF 5,000 a year deducted at sale; 20% of net sale profit to Curio AG; redemption transaction costs deducted from payouts. The 2020 site said '0% fee to invest'.

On-chain footprint (Ethereum)

CT1 0x4F01...4Cf0 (1,100,000, 30 holders); wCT1 0x4668...eb75 (451,751, backed one-for-one, 58 holders); old CGT 0xF56b...a32a (63 million before the exploit, 1.0 trillion after); new CGT 0x0E18...3D18 (100 million, 1,130 holders, active); CSC 0xfDcd...dcB (about 1.0 billion, 900 million held by the exploit contract).

XAUH (the 'Assets' link)

Herculis Gold Coin, issued by Herculis Tokens SA, Panama (Herculis Group); one token per gram of Swiss gold; runs on Curio's JAMTON network and trades on Capital DEX, STON.fi, Uniswap, BTSE and Biconomy. The site shows 15,500 tokens; AltStreet read 4,109.2 on Ethereum and 3,350.39 on TON. Reserve reports are KPMG agreed-upon procedures (15.5 kg on August 26, 2026) with no assurance. Not a Curio product on its own terms.

Court and enforcement record

No federal docket names CurioInvest, Curio AG, Curio Capital AG or CurioDAO (CourtListener RECAP, November 9, 2026); no row in AltStreet's SEC enforcement tables. Liechtenstein and Swiss courts and regulators' warning lists were not searched.

ASCT1 first, then CGT: what the chain shows

  • CT1: 1,100,000 minted on June 16, 2020 to one address; first-hop transfers on May 25, 2021 (11, 1,094,524 tokens) and May 28, 2021 (18, 5,476 tokens); 154 transfers in total (90 in 2021, 38 in 2023, 7 in 2025).
  • ct1investhubag.eth (2-of-3 Safe) holds 13,971 CT1 and 331,509.47 wCT1; it paid USD 1.50 per token for four of five CT1 returns in July to September 2025.
  • wCT1 holds 451,751 CT1, matching its supply; ct1investhubag.eth holds 73% of wCT1.
  • Old CGT: 63,000,000 across 1,019 holders at block 19,498,910; the next block's exploit minted one trillion.
  • New CGT: 100,000,000 minted April 5, 2024; 768 of 1,019 pre-exploit Ethereum addresses received an exact balance match within 120 days through Disperse (27.9 million CGT); 251 addresses with 35.1 million old CGT did not.

Key Gaps & Non-Disclosures

  • No offer proceeds, investor count, car valuation or terms for the 2025 USD 1.50 payments published for CT1.
  • No financial statements for Curio AG, CT1 Investhub AG, 731 AG or Curio Capital AG.
  • CurioDAO's March 25, 2024 recovery statement is public; the results of its liquidity-provider compensation and of the replacement outside Ethereum are not.

Investment Structures

Tokenization services company and former issuer of a tokenized car bond

curioinvest.com offers no investment product as of November 9, 2026 and says its services and tokens are not available in the United States. Its one past investor offering, CT1, closed in July 2020; AltStreet found no public confirmation that the Ferrari was sold or that sale proceeds were distributed to holders.

  • CT1 (2019 to 2020): 1,100,000 tokens at USD 1.00 offered by Curio AG (now 731 AG, Zug) under an FMA-approved prospectus, a debt security tied to the sale of one Ferrari F12tdf; minimum 50 tokens; EEA, Swiss and Liechtenstein investors only.
  • wCT1: a wrapped version of CT1 for trading on decentralized exchanges, backed one-for-one.
  • CGT and CSC: CurioDAO's governance token and stablecoin, exploited in March 2024; CGT replaced by a new token.
  • Tokenization services: custom work for issuers, priced by proposal.

Risk

Risk Structure

This is where the marketplace pitch gives way to the actual operating reality: delayed exits, limited disclosure, fee drag, and path-dependent outcomes.

Issuer continuity

The CT1 issuer was dissolved ex officio in 2023, renamed and restored in 2025, and moved to Zug as 731 AG, with one board member and an audit opt-out; its shareholders are not public.

Exit at the issuer's discretion

Holders are repaid only when the issuer sells the car, which it is not obliged to do; after five years the minimum price follows the token's own thin market.

Claim on the issuer, not the asset

CT1 is a debt security of a special-purpose company with a pledge whose effectiveness in insolvency is not guaranteed.

No reporting

No offer results, car valuation, accounts or holder notices are public; the investor pages are gone.

Governance-token exploit

One trillion CGT were minted through a governance flaw; 768 of 1,019 pre-exploit Ethereum addresses received an exact balance match in the replacement.

Concentration

CT1 sits with 30 holders; ct1investhubag.eth holds about 31% directly and through wCT1, and another address 30%.

Auditor turnover

Two statutory auditors of the Swiss parent removed within eleven months (December 2025, October 2026).

No confirmed sale or distribution

CT1 pays only from the car's sale, at the issuer's discretion, after costs and a 20% performance fee.

Why it matters

Five years on, AltStreet found no public confirmation that the car was sold or proceeds distributed; the only payments visible are USD 1.50 per token to four holders who sent tokens to an issuer-named multisig, on terms that are not public.

Mitigation / verification

Ask 731 AG for the car's status and valuation, the 30-day price, and the terms of the 2025 payments, and read the prospectus redemption terms before buying CT1 or wCT1 from another holder.

Token contracts as an attack surface

The CurioDAO exploit minted a trillion governance tokens through a voting-power flaw.

Why it matters

Holders of tokens tied to a DAO depend on its contracts and on the team's willingness to compensate; on Ethereum, 251 of 1,019 pre-exploit addresses did not receive an exact balance match.

Mitigation / verification

Check a token's contract controls, audits and incident history on chain before holding it; former CGT holders should compare their pre-exploit balance with what they received.

Issuer changed name, board and country

Dissolved ex officio in 2023, restored in 2025, moved to Zug as 731 AG; no accounts, an audit opt-out, and two auditors removed at the Swiss parent.

Why it matters

A holder's claim is on the issuer, now 731 AG; its solvency and its acceptance of the 2019 terms decide the claim if the pledge fails.

Mitigation / verification

Pull 731 AG's Zug register extract and ask for its accounts, its shareholders and its position on the 2019 bond terms.

Biggest Misconceptions & What Actually Happens

  • '100% collateralized': holders have a pledge over the car, not ownership, and the issuer does not guarantee the pledge in insolvency.
  • 'Sell anytime peer-to-peer': CT1 is admitted to no market; it has had 154 transfers in six years.
  • 'Sold out': the offering page's label; the amount investors actually paid is not public.
  • 'Redemption' (third-party case file): the chain shows four payments of USD 1.50 per token from ct1investhubag.eth; no terms or holder notice are public.
  • 'Fractional ownership' (IX Swap, 2022): holders own a claim on the issuer, not part of the car.
  • '1 billion CGT minted' (press): the chain shows one trillion.
  • 'Free for a limited time': the services offer on the current site; no completed client project is named.
  • 'Assets' (site menu): the one asset linked is XAUH, issued by Herculis Tokens SA, not by Curio.
  • 'Swiss Audit' (xauh.gold): KPMG agreed-upon procedures with no assurance, covering bars counted, not token supply.

Regulatory & Legal Posture

Security Status

CT1 is a security: a debt security (Schuldverschreibung) with ISIN LI0482957227, offered to the public under a prospectus approved by the Financial Market Authority of Liechtenstein under the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) as implemented in Liechtenstein. It was not registered with the SEC and was not offered to US persons.

The prospectus states that the FMA reviews prospectuses for completeness, coherence and comprehensibility and that the issuer is not licensed or supervised. CGT and CSC were issued by CurioDAO outside any prospectus.

Disclosure Quality

Moderate at issue (a 90-page approved prospectus); low since (no reporting to holders, no accounts, investor pages removed).

Custody Model

Tokens are ERC-20 tokens held in investors' own wallets or with Curio; the car was stored by Mechatronik near Stuttgart, according to the 2020 brochure, under a pledge in favor of token holders; its location today is not public.

Regulatory Backing

No custodian, trustee or administrator supervised by a financial regulator is named for CT1. The pledge is a contract with the car's storage provider.

Tax Treatment

Reporting

None described for holders; CT1 is a Liechtenstein debt security sold outside the United States.

Not stated.

Income Character

A payout on redemption after the car's sale, or a gain or loss on selling the token.

Treatment depends on the holder's country; the prospectus does not provide US tax guidance because US persons were excluded.

Limitation

US persons should not hold CT1, wCT1 or CGT under Curio's own terms. Confirm any tax treatment with an adviser in your jurisdiction.

Account Suitability

Taxable

Only where the holder is eligible; not US persons.

Roth IRA

Not suitable.

Traditional IRA

Not suitable.

HSA

Not suitable.

Warning

The issuer is now 731 AG in Zug

Curio AG was dissolved ex officio on November 2, 2023, renamed CT1 Investhub AG on November 29, 2024, restored on February 28, 2025, moved its seat to Zug by resolution of September 12, 2025 as 731 AG, and was deleted in Liechtenstein on March 17, 2026.

What this means

A holder's claim now runs against a Zug company with one board member, an audit opt-out and no public shareholders.

Finding

An issuer-named multisig paid USD 1.50 per token

ct1investhubag.eth received CT1 from five addresses in July to September 2025 and paid four of them USD 1.50 per token in USDC or USDT to the same address; it holds 13,971 CT1 and 331,509.47 wCT1.

What this means

Some holders have been paid out at 1.5 times the issue price, but no terms, notice or funding source is public, and the chain does not show a sale of the car.

Warning

CT1 left the issuing address in two first-hop rounds

All 1,100,000 CT1 minted to one address on June 16, 2020; first-hop transfers on May 25, 2021 (nine of 110,000, one of 104,324, one of 200) and May 28, 2021 (eighteen of 99 to 1,063, 5,476 in total); onward transfers moved some lots again the same day.

What this means

The chain does not show what investors paid; with the archived 'sold out' label, the amount raised is unresolved.

Warning

One trillion, not one billion

The exploit transaction minted 1,000,000,000,000 CGT against a prior supply of 63,000,000, plus 1,000,000,000 CSC; 900,000,000 CSC remain in the attacker's contract.

What this means

CSC's reported supply is almost entirely exploit tokens; old CGT is worthless as a record of holdings after block 19,498,910.

Finding

Replacement matched most Ethereum addresses exactly

768 of 1,019 pre-exploit Ethereum addresses received an exact balance match in the new CGT within 120 days through the Disperse contract; 251 addresses with 35.1 million CGT did not, including 61 contracts and 190 wallets.

What this means

A former holder should check their own address; CurioDAO's statement set out a separate compensation plan for liquidity providers, whose results are not public.

Finding

XAUH runs on Curio's network

The token in curioinvest.com's 'Assets' menu, XAUH, is issued by Herculis Tokens SA of Panama on JAMTON, which CurioDAO calls 'a strategic pillar in Curio's ecosystem', and trades on Curio's Capital DEX; Ethereum and TON hold 7,459.59 XAUH against 15,500 shown on xauh.gold.

What this means

The tie is technical, and any commercial terms are unstated: Curio's role, fee or interest in XAUH is not public, and XAUH's reserve reports give no assurance.

Warning

Auditor turnover at the parent

blueAUDIT GmbH registered as Curio Capital AG's auditor in December 2022 and removed in December 2025; Abtraxas Treuhand AG registered in August 2026 and removed on October 30, 2026.

What this means

With no public accounts, the register is the only window on the company's controls.

Investor Fit

Who this works for, who it does not, and what level of patience and complexity tolerance the platform really demands.

US investors

Us Excluded
xPoor Fit

Curio states its services and tokens are not available in the United States, and CT1 excluded US persons.

Investors looking for fractional collectible cars with reporting and exits

No ReportingDiscretionary Exit
xPoor Fit

One car, no sale in five years, no reporting; compare platforms that file regular reports.

Issuers looking for tokenization help

No Named ClientsIssuer Track Record
~Neutral Fit

Services are offered by proposal; ask for completed client issuances and how CT1 holders have been treated.

Tradeoffs

Key Tradeoffs

The attraction of pre-IPO access is real, but every benefit comes bundled with a corresponding liquidity, transparency, or pricing cost.

1

Approved prospectus vs. ongoing oversight

The FMA approved the document; nobody supervises the issuer or requires reporting to holders.

2

Tokenized transferability vs. a market

CT1 can move on Ethereum, but has 30 holders and a few trades a year.

3

On-chain transparency vs. company disclosure

Supplies and transfers are public; offer results, accounts and the car's status are not.

Avoid

Who This Is Not For

This section should be read as a filter, not an afterthought. If you need income, simplicity, or near-term access to capital, the structure is working against you.

US persons

Excluded by Curio's own terms.

Investors who need an exit date

CT1 repays only when Curio chooses to sell the car.

Investors who need audited accounts

None are public for the issuer or its parent.

Editorial View

AltStreet Perspective

The compressed version of the review: what matters, what marketing tends to obscure, and how we would frame the platform for a serious allocator.

Verdict

A tokenization vendor whose one investor product has no confirmed exit, whose issuer went through liquidation and a move to Zug, and whose governance token was exploited, now selling its tools to other issuers.

Positioning

Holders should press 731 AG for the car's status, the terms of the 2025 payments and its accounts; issuers should ask what happened to Curio's own token holders before hiring it.

The Bottom Line

One tokenized Ferrari with no confirmed sale, an issuer that went through liquidation and moved to Zug, and a services site closed to US investors.

Action

Next Steps

If you still want to engage after reading the review, these are the practical next moves that reduce avoidable mistakes.

1

CT1 or wCT1 holders: ask 731 AG for the car's location, insurance and valuation, the 30-day average price, its plan to sell, and whether the USD 1.50 payments are open to you.

2

Former CGT holders: compare your old balance at block 19,498,910 with what your address received in the new CGT.

3

Anyone dealing with the issuer: pull 731 AG's Zug register extract and ask for its accounts, shareholders and position on the 2019 bond terms.

4

Issuers considering Curio's services: ask for completed client issuances and how holders were reported to after issue.

5

Anyone considering XAUH: ask Herculis Tokens SA for every contract address and supply, the named vault and custody agreements, and which group entity owns the gold, and ask Curio what its role in XAUH is.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

High-intent search questions answered directly, without making users hunt through the full review.

Q

What is CurioInvest?

A Zug-based tokenization brand of Curio Capital AG. In 2019 and 2020 its Liechtenstein special-purpose company, Curio AG, offered CT1, a tokenized bond tied to the sale of one Ferrari F12tdf, to EEA investors. That issuer is now 731 AG in Zug. Curio then ran CurioDAO, with the CGT governance token and the CSC stablecoin. As captured November 9, 2026, curioinvest.com offers tokenization and DeFi services to issuers and no investment product.

Q

What happened to Curio AG, the CT1 issuer?

Liechtenstein's Office of Justice dissolved it ex officio and appointed a liquidator on November 2, 2023. A general meeting renamed it CT1 Investhub AG on November 29, 2024, and the dissolution was lifted on February 28, 2025. On September 12, 2025 it resolved to move its seat to Switzerland; it is registered in Zug as 731 AG (CHE-462.858.040) with one board member, and Liechtenstein deleted it from its register on March 17, 2026.

Q

Can US investors use CurioInvest?

No. The site states that 'CurioInvest Services and Tokens (CTn) including CurioDAO Ecosystem are not available in the United States or other prohibited jurisdictions', and the CT1 prospectus excluded US persons.

Q

Do CT1 holders own part of the Ferrari?

No. The prospectus defines CT1 as a debt security of Curio AG. Holders have a claim on the net proceeds if Curio sells the car, secured by a pledge over it, and no ownership, co-ownership or use rights. The issuer does not guarantee that the pledge would hold up in its insolvency.

Q

Has the CurioInvest Ferrari been sold?

AltStreet found no public confirmation that the Ferrari was sold or that sale proceeds were distributed to CT1 holders as of November 9, 2026. The prospectus lets the issuer sell only at 25% over cost in the first two years and 20% over in the next three, and after five years at no less than the 30-day average token price; it is not obliged to sell at all. The five-year point passed in July 2024.

Q

Have any CT1 holders been paid?

On chain, a multisig whose ENS name is ct1investhubag.eth paid four holders USD 1.50 per token, in USDC or USDT, between July and September 2025, after they sent it 105, 12,384, 300 and 119 CT1. A fifth holder's 1,063 CT1 has no visible payment back. No terms, holder notice or funding source for these payments is public, and the chain does not show that they came from a sale of the car.

Q

What happened in the Curio hack?

On March 23, 2024, an attacker used a flaw in CurioDAO's governance contracts on Ethereum to mint 1,000,000,000,000 CGT (one trillion; supply had been 63 million) and 1,000,000,000 CSC stablecoins in one transaction, sold some into decentralized exchange pools for ETH, DAI and other tokens, and kept 996 billion CGT. Press reports and CurioDAO's own statement said about one billion CGT; the chain shows one trillion.

Q

Were CGT holders compensated?

CurioDAO's statement of March 25, 2024 promised a new CGT restoring holders' balances on Ethereum, BNB Chain, SKALE and Boba, and a separate program paying liquidity providers 25% of their second-token losses every 90 days for four stages. The new CGT was created on April 5, 2024. On Ethereum, 768 of 1,019 pre-exploit addresses received an exact balance match within 120 days; 251 addresses holding 35.1 million old CGT, most of them liquidity pools, bridges and staking contracts, did not. Whether the liquidity-provider payments were made is not public; holders should check their own addresses.

Q

What is XAUH, and why does CurioInvest link to it?

XAUH, the Herculis Gold Coin, is a gold token issued by Herculis Tokens SA of Panama, part of the Swiss Herculis Group, at one token per gram of Swiss gold. It is the only asset curioinvest.com's 'Assets' menu links to. Neither site explains the link; the record shows XAUH is built on JAMTON, the Polkadot network CurioDAO launched in 2024 and calls a strategic pillar of its ecosystem, and trades on Curio's Capital DEX. Whether Curio built XAUH for Herculis, holds an interest in it or is paid for it is not public.

Q

Is XAUH backed by gold?

Herculis publishes KPMG SA reports of agreed-upon procedures: on August 26, 2026 KPMG counted 18 bars, 15.5 kilograms, in a Swiss vault, owned by 'one entity of the group', and could link invoices to eight of them. KPMG expressed no assurance and did not compare the gold with tokens issued. xauh.gold shows 15,500 tokens; AltStreet read 4,109.2 on Ethereum and 3,350.39 on TON and did not read Tron, BNB Chain or JAMTON.

Q

Is CurioInvest regulated?

The CT1 prospectus was approved by Liechtenstein's Financial Market Authority in July 2019, but the issuer states it 'is not licensed as a financial institution and is not subject to the oversight or supervision by FMA'. The current site names no license or regulator. Curio has no SEC filings.

Q

What fees did CT1 charge?

Issue costs of USD 76,500 were priced into the USD 1.1 million issue (6.95%). On a sale, running costs of about CHF 5,000 a year come off first and Curio takes 20% of the net profit; redemption transaction costs are deducted from payouts. The 2020 brochure gave maintenance costs as 'ca. 1% p.a.', about twice the prospectus figure.

Q

Is CurioInvest legit?

Curio Capital AG and 731 AG are registered companies, and CT1 had an approved prospectus. The concerns are what followed: no public confirmation of a sale of the one car or a distribution of proceeds, an issuer that went through ex officio liquidation and moved to Zug under a new name, payments to some holders with no published terms, no reporting or accounts, a trillion-token exploit of the governance token, and two auditors removed from the parent's register in eleven months. AltStreet located no court case or SEC action naming Curio.

Q

How does CurioInvest compare with Rally?

Rally sells shares in collectible cars and other items through Regulation A series in the United States, with annual and semiannual reports on EDGAR and periodic trading windows. CurioInvest's single car token was offered outside the United States under a Liechtenstein prospectus, has no reporting since, and has no publicly confirmed sale.
