Swiss SMEs to Digitize Their Equity Through Tokenization
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland have gained the ability to secure investments and enhance liquidity by tokenizing their shares on the Ethereum blockchain and subsequently listing these digital assets on a local cryptocurrency exchange.
Aktionariat AG, the foremost tokenization platform in Switzerland, has announced a collaboration with Taurus SA, a local provider of enterprise-level infrastructure solutions for the issuance, storage, and trading of digital assets. Through this partnership, SMEs in Switzerland will have the opportunity to obtain additional funding by tokenizing their shares.
Aktionariat AG will handle the tokenization of shares on the Ethereum blockchain, while Taurus SA will offer digital asset management services. This initiative is designed to enhance the liquidity of Swiss SMEs and improve their access to capital.
Founded in 2020, Aktionariat AG has tokenized assets for over 70 Swiss companies, catering to more than 30,000 users and offering a comprehensive suite of tools for tokenization, digital asset management, and basic stock trading.
Taurus SA was established in 2018 to provide services to a diverse array of financial institutions, including system, universal, online, crypto, and private banks, as well as broker-dealers. Taurus is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
This partnership will also enable current Aktionariat clients to list their assets on the Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX), granting them access to an extensive network of banks, professional investors, and private clients. The first client participating in this initiative will be RealUnit, a cryptocurrency investment firm that tokenized its shares with Aktionariat in April 2022. Following the launch in November 2024, investors in RealUnit will be able to access tokenized shares.
Recently, shares of prominent traditional finance (TradFi) companies were tokenized on the Polygon network and became available for trading within the EU.
