Taurus and Aktionariat start cooperating to tokenize shares

Taurus and Aktionariat have entered into a partnership to facilitate the trading of tokenized shares of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland on the Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX) using blockchain technology.

According to a press release, Aktionariat's tokenization technology will allow companies to convert their shares into blockchain-based tokens on the Ethereum network. This will enable more efficient asset management and simplify access to trading them on the TDX digital platform.

The Swiss fintech companies plan to present their initiative first to the investment company RealUnit Schweiz, which specializes in fiat assets. The project is expected to launch in November.

Benefits of tokenized shares

The partnership between Taurus and Aktionariat is expected to improve liquidity access for Swiss SMEs. Investors can own shares in digital form, with the option to choose between bearer shares (not registered in the official registry) and registered shares. This will expand the pool of potential investors and provide transparency and flexibility in share trading.

Access to the TDX platform

Taurus will accept shares tokenized by Aktionariat on its platform, providing access to its network of banks, investors, and retail clients. This will enable Swiss SMEs to leverage blockchain technology to attract investments and expand their market opportunities.
