Skaaning also mentioned how the Danish issuance platform DigiShares is part of this revolution: "In my company, we are focused on one application of blockchain technology – how to represent stocks on the blockchain. Even though it was written long before blockchain, the Danish securities regulation actually supports this quite well. Stock certificates may be digitized. The entire process around share registers, voting, shareholder meetings, etc. may be digitized. [...] In practice we are storing an encrypted named stock certificate within each token. Each token represents one share in the company. Tokens will have smart contracts that check against a whitelist of investors to determine whether a given transfer to a new owner is compliant. Such securities can be "passported" into other EU member states and possibly even outside the EU, making Denmark a solid destination for STOs."

Altvesto, is a legal framework where investors can have shares in both tokenized and non-tokenized versions. Skaaning: "This legal framework is expected to be a step to attract institutional investors to come more easily into the domain of security tokens. We need to build some bridges to the traditional financial world in order to make it easy for them to accept the risk of adopting a new technology".
DigiShares has also recently entered a partnership with the Finnish company,
Empirica, focused on building the AI-based investor community platform,
