Taurus and Aktionariat have joined forces to revolutionize the trading of tokenized shares for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland. This groundbreaking partnership will enable companies to convert their shares into blockchain-based tokens on the Ethereum network via Aktionariat’s tokenization solution.
The first phase of this innovative initiative will be introduced to RealUnit Schweiz, an investment company specializing in real assets, with plans to go live in November. Victor Busson, chief marketing officer at Taurus, highlighted that tokenized shares will provide investors with the same economic and social rights as traditional shares, making this a game-changer in the world of finance.
By listing tokenized shares on the Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX), the collaboration aims to enhance liquidity for Swiss SMEs, offering investors the opportunity to hold equity digitally. Furthermore, investors can choose between bearer shares and registered shares, providing flexibility and convenience in trading.
RealUnit Schweiz, one of the first companies to tokenize shares via Aktionariat in April 2022, will be paving the way by listing its tokenized shares on the TDX platform. Dani Stüssi, CEO of RealUnit Schweiz, expressed excitement about being at the forefront of offering tokenized instruments to investors.
In addition to this partnership, Taurus recently teamed up with German fintech firm Teylor to tokenize SME loans, allowing tokenholders to receive monthly cash flows. This strategic collaboration demonstrates Taurus’ commitment to revolutionizing the financial industry by enabling smaller investments and facilitating token trading in a regulated marketplace.
Overall, the collaboration between Taurus and Aktionariat is set to transform the way shares are traded, offering a seamless and efficient solution for both companies and investors alike. With the ability to tokenize shares and trade them on TDX, the future of finance is looking brighter than ever.
