Aktionariat, a Swiss pioneer in equity tokenization, is excited to announce the launch of Secondaries, the first blockchain-based solution that enables trading of tokenized shares between investors. This innovation simplifies how tokenized shares are bought and sold, empowering shareholders and attracting new investors.
Zürich, 17. October 2024
Since 2021, Aktionariat has helped private companies tokenize their equity, offering automated primary market sales via the Brokerbot. With the introduction of Secondaries, Aktionariat now allows investors to trade these tokenized shares directly with one another.
«Presenting a way to enable secondary transactions of private companies without the need for intermediaries such as centralised exchanges or custodiansalso fits perfectly into our DNA of decentralisation and disintermediation» - Murat Ögat, CEO and Co-founder of Aktionariat AG
Secondaries is designed for user-friendliness, making it accessible to anyone, even those with no prior crypto experience. Payments can be made via bank transfer or cryptocurrency, with automatic, free-of-charge fiat-to-crypto (and vice-versa) conversions handled by a third-party provider.
«At Aktionariat, we understand how important it is for shareholders to have control and flexibility over their investments. Being able to post a sell offer for your tokenized shares and connect with buyers directly on the issuer’s website is one more step in the right direction» - Konstantinos Zavoudakis, COO of Aktionariat AG
Successful Pilot Phase for Aktionariat DAKS Shares
Since July 2024, Aktionariat has successfully piloted Secondaries with its own tokenized shares, demonstrating how the tool simplifies secondary share transactions. Now, Secondaries is available for other companies looking to enhance the liquidity of their tokenized equity.
«We’ve already experienced the benefits of increased liquidity from secondary trading of our DAKS tokenized shares. We’re excited to roll out this tool to more issuers on our platform by the end of the year» - Murat Ögat, CEO and Co-founder of Aktionariat AG
Private companies and investors are invited to explore the potential of Secondaries. For more information, visit Aktionariat’s Investor Relations Page or contact the team at info@aktionariat.com.
