DigiFT announced today the first decentralized trading platform for security tokens under regulation. The first security tokens will be listed in Q32022 on the DigiFT Exchange. They will be open to trade for accredited investors and institutional investors.
Singapore – June 2nd, 2022 – DigiFT’s FinTech breakthroughs help map traditional financial assets onto the public blockchain Ethereum in a compliant manner, allowing investors to hold and trade digital securities directly through their wallets. As a result, DigiFT’s exchange significantly increases the product availability on capital markets and provides liquidity to the previously less-liquid assets.
The MAS sandbox provides a supportive framework for FinTech companies with innovative financial products and services. DigiFT will work closely with MAS to ensure the smooth and safe operation of security token issuance and trading. The exchange expects to complete the sandbox phase in 1H2023, and to become the first fully licensed decentralized trading platform for security tokens.
“We are delighted to join the MAS FinTech Regulatory Sandbox and lead the building of the regulated and security token-based capital markets. Deploying on the Ethereum blockchain, DigiFT expects to create a channel between issuers with fundraising needs and investors looking for novel investment opportunities,” said Henry Zhang, CEO of DigiFT. “We are delighted to work with MAS to enhance further the issuance and trading experience of digital assets for our clients.”
Wanli Li, Chairman of DigiFT, said: “We are encouraged by the recent sharing from DPM Heng Swee Keat that Singapore is keen to work with blockchain and digital asset players to encourage innovation, and build up trust in the sector. MAS is forward-looking and open-minded towards FinTech innovations. Singapore is now at the forefront of FinTech innovations as a global financial center. DigiFT is committed in working with regulators as Singapore moves towards the Web 3.0 economy.”
DigiFT is launching a blockchain-based digital security trading platform in the new Web 3.0 era. The decentralized platform includes a liquidity-pool solution intrinsic to blockchains and significantly expands the frontier of capital markets. In participating in this market, issuers can tokenize their assets, and investors can have a large variety of products to choose from.
