Take advantage of the new era of digital finance
The old way
Asset lifecycle involves cumbersome contract management across multiple participants and systems
Manual trades take days to settle
Restrictions on asset fractionalization limit investor interest
Transactions involve a myriad of intermediaries making them slow, costly and bound by domestic borders
Multiple versions of the same transaction lead to costly and frequent reconciliation
The new way
Increased revenue through the identification of new asset classes and global markets
Borderless, fast and secure exchange of value between parties distributed across different jurisdictions
Faster, cheaper and more transparent international settlement
Increased transparency and liquidity through tokenization of traditional assets
Fractionalized assets eliminate barriers to entry for a larger market of investors
