Many of these are among Fireblocks users who now get easier access to tokenization technology.

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

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.

  • Convert fiat to USDC and vice versa at low cost

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.”

DigiShares Signs With Oasis Pro Markets LLC For Secondary Trading Capabilities

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.”
