Vision
We aim to make DigiShares the go-to platform for issuers of securities to harness the power of blockchain in a compliant manner.
We are off to a good start, with dozens of clients from all five continents paying onboarding & recurring fees to license our white-label platform.
With RealEstate.Exchange, we are building a global exchange for the trading of tokenized shares in the largest asset class in the world. We have solidified key partnerships with regulated entities and are currently in the process of applying for regulatory licenses.

“With the real estate market standing at over $300T, securities at over $250T, regulated open-end funds over $60T, and with private markets growing rapidly, even 1% of the total market share is in the trillions. Early mover advantage could be massive.” – Citi
