Issufy, a leading platform to help organizations manage investor engagement in capital markets transactions, is pleased to confirm that it will be joining forces with DigiShares, a white-label platform for tokenized securities. With this new cooperation, Issufy and DigiShares will both extend their product offerings with more capabilities and will together focus on STOs both in the UK market and internationally.
Digital shares for the world
Through DigiShares, any type of security such as company shares or bonds can be digitized and issued as tokens on the blockchain. The DigiShares platform handles both the issuance process as well as the ongoing corporate management of a group of tokenized investors, such as investor communication, share cap table, investor voting, etc. Any asset manager (real estate, investment fund, renewables, mining, etc.) may white-label the platform and use it under their own brand name for multiple STOs (Security Token Offerings).
Through DigiShares, whitelisted, verified and approved investors are able to purchase tokens – benefiting from immediate settlement, wider access to international investors, enhanced liquidity, and because of programmable governance and compliance, transactions will have fewer vulnerabilities to errors.
“The global financial infrastructure is shifting to blockchain infrastructure in order to reduce cost, delays, and amount of errors in the clearing, settlement, transfer and trading of securities. Investment funds, real estate funds, banks, etc. are actively implementing blockchain tokenization technology in order to achieve these advantages and not be left out of the game. The entire market is increasingly professionalizing in order to provide investor security and compliance that is sufficient to be acceptable for institutional investors and regulators. We see Issufy’s investor engagement platform as a major step forward in order to significantly increase the quality and breadth of functionality as part of the end-to-end securitization and tokenization process,” said Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares.
Skaaning added, “The Issufy platform fits perfectly with DigiShares for the pre-issuance management of a group of sophisticated and demanding investors in an STO context. DigiShares and Issufy will more easily together be able to provide an end-to-end investor management and STO platform that can appease institutional investors”.
“The new market of digital securities has high potential globally and is very relevant for Issufy. Together with DigiShares, we will offer a better end-to-end solution to allow issuers and their advisors to achieve the highest standards of information control, information structuring, analysis and management and user experience when collaborating with their investor communities and each other to create these types of transactions. The ecosystem’s expectations around flexibility and ease of use are only getting stronger all the time, as are requirements for effective compliance around how decisions are being made in all capital markets transactions, including STOs,”, said Nawaz Imam, CEO of Issufy.
“We are delighted to formalize our partnership with DigiShares. We see them as a leader in this segment – they are among the first in Europe to provide an operational platform for investment funds, real estate funds, even later state startups to issue shares as tokens and offer them for sale, fully regulated in their jurisdictions. Together with our investor management platform we can offer asset managers a highly sophisticated and compliant fund raising process”.
