DigiShares Integrates with Fortress Trust to Offer Cutting-Edge Payments and Custody Solutions

Posted on by kiman

DigiShares, a leading tokenization platform and digital Transfer Agent, has announced its integration with Fortress Trust, a chartered trust company, to offer cutting-edge payments and custody solutions to their clients. This integration marks a significant step forward in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, providing seamless payment and custody solutions to DigiShares’ users.

Fortress Trust is known for its innovative approaches to integrating traditional financial services with blockchain technology. With its advanced solutions for crypto and fiat payment rails, as well as on and off-ramps, Fortress Trust is setting the standard for secure and efficient financial transactions in the digital age.

Through this new integration, DigiShares’ clients will be able to seamlessly:

  • Accept and process payments via credit card, linked bank accounts, wires, and crypto
  • Convert fiat to USDC and vice versa at low cost
  • Send fiat and crypto distributions 
  • Offer custodial wallets to their investors, enabling them to hold crypto and security tokens

As a regulated financial institution in the State of Nevada, Fortress Trust cannot hold client assets “on the balance sheet.” All assets are held FBO (“for benefit of”), ensuring no risk of third-party claims. This is a crucial feature, especially in the wake of the collapse of Silvergate, Signature, and Silicon Valley Bank.

Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares, shared, “The tokenized securities ecosystem will only be successful if the solutions offered to investors and issuers are easy to use. Their interaction with payments and custody – not only for crypto but also fiat – needs to be seamless. The combination of DigiShares and Fortress Trust is a big step forward.”

As said by the Founder of Fortress Trust, Scott Purcell, “DigiShares has shown themselves to be an innovator in the security tokenization space, and we believe that they are positioning themselves a market leader as the industry starts to shift into a more compliant regulatory environment. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with DigiShares in their next leg of growth.”

Overall, the integration of DigiShares with Fortress Trust represents a significant step forward in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. By providing seamless payment and custody solutions to their clients, DigiShares is helping to shape the future of the fintech industry, and Fortress Trust is proud to be a part of that journey.

DigiShares Signs With Oasis Pro Markets LLC For Secondary Trading Capabilities

Posted on by kiman

DigiShares is proud to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Oasis Pro Markets LLC, an SEC registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”), to offer secondary trading capabilities for future security token offerings in accordance with applicable regulatory restrictions.

Oasis Pro Markets has developed a US-regulated ATS authorized to allow subscribers to trade digital (“blockchain”) securities and make payment for those digital securities in digital cash (i.e. stable coins) or fiat.

Typically, investments in start-ups tend to be illiquid, i.e. investors may not be able to sell their shares easily. Unless there is an Initial Public Offering or an acquisition, other options for exit may be burdened with high intermediation fees and archaic processes. This leads to sellers having to settle for a lower price than what their shares are actually worth (the “illiquidity discount”).

By working with Oasis Pro Markets LLC, DigiShares private company shareholders will have the potential opportunity to seek liquidity through a regulated trading venue.

DigiShares has recently launched a capital raise under Reg D and Reg S, in the form of a Security Token Offering, available to investors outside the U.S. and accredited investors within the U.S. The DIGI tokens, which were minted on Ethereum and will be distributed to investors, represent preferred equity shares in DigiShares’ Delaware corporation. The DIGI tokens will be listed on Oasis Pro Markets once the one-year regulatory lock-up period has ended. For this listing, DigiShares will be acting as its own digital Transfer Agent.

Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares: “We look forward to working with Oasis Pro Markets to provide a pathway to potential liquidity for our investors.  We view Oasis Pro Markets as an important company in our ecosystem on many different projects involving our own clients in the Real-World Assets space.”

Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro Markets: “We view DigiShares as a leading player in the blockchain space. We are thrilled to partner with them and look forward to continued collaboration as we grow the security token ecosystem together.”

Equito App and DigiShares Partner to Revolutionize Real Estate Investment

Posted on by kiman

Equito App is an innovative and disruptive Spanish start-up in the Real Estate and Fintech industry. Their goal is to make real estate investing accessible for anyone with as little as 100 euros, in 2 minutes and be able to receive rents monthly. Equito App also takes care of finding real estate properties, proposing them on the app in tokens of 100 euros, finding tenants for these properties and distributing the rents every month.

Equito App will be using DigiShares’ white-label technology to tokenize residential real estate properties.

The Spanish fintech have chosen the Security Tokens Offering framework to tokenize the properties. The financial instrument is a participative loan where individuals lend money against a variable interest that will depend on the rents of a specific property.

Our white label tokenization platform is specifically designed to help companies like Equito App to break down the entry barriers to real estate investing.

Leading Tokenization Firm DigiShares Introduces Three New Solutions

Posted on by kiman

DigiShares, a global provider of infrastructure for tokenization of real-world assets, has recently introduced three new configurations of its market leading platform, to cater for three different market segments. This enables DigiShares to support the main three tokenization use cases, crypto-settled, fiat-settled, and internally settled. Each configuration is optimized for full automation and ease of use.

The first configuration supports full crypto payment workflows and internal settlement in a crypto balance. To avoid currency exchange-rate risk, DigiShares recommends to use trusted stablecoins for payment and settlement, such as USDC and EUROC (when available). This configuration assumes that issuers and users have their own wallets (such as Metamask) to facilitate transactions such as whitelisting of wallets, purchase of security tokens, and trading with security tokens. Trading works with a peer-to-peer smart contract-based atomic swap with no counterparty risk.

The second configuration is for use cases where the majority of investors are not familiar with crypto or prefer not to use crypto. For this use case, we support a fully fiat-based configuration where investors can pay in fiat (USD, EUR, etc.) from their normal bank accounts via wire, ACH, and credit card. Security tokens will be kept internally in the platform so there is no requirement for users to have a wallet.

The third configuration is for more regulated or institutional use cases where the issuer wants to provide investors with an internal wallet with crypto funds available to invest at any time. This configuration allows investors to top up their internal balance with stablecoins (USDC, EUROC, etc.) and to use these funds to invest in the listed projects. The system will maintain investors’ wallet balance internally. Since most issuers are not licensed to safekeep investor funds, this configuration typically requires custody integration.

DigiShares is blockchain agnostic and supports both Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Ravencoin, and soon Polymesh. Other chains will be supported later in 2023. We provide a user-friendly token studio that supports minting security tokens with common parameters for all these chains. For EVM-compatible chains we provide our own heavily tested and audited implementation of ERC-1404.

Claus Skaaning, CEO at DigiShares, says, “As the crypto industry matures, we see the crypto configuration as the most interesting. Longer term we expect the trend go towards self-custody, either in Metamask, or in similar wallets associated with exchanges, such as Coinbase or Binance Wallets, or more institutional wallets, such as Fireblocks Wallet. In any case, we are prepared to meet most requirements with the above three configurations”.
