‘Everything will be tokenised’ - The UK’s first FCA Regulated digital securities exchange - live chat with Archax
Liquidity, liquidity, liquidity! There are over 20 million SME’s across Europe yet only 3000 or so listed on a stock exchange and with access to public capital.
Private securities often suffer from a lack of liquidity.
Heavily reliant on intermediaries (brokers, transfer agents, depositories, clearinghouses), costs can become excessive, settlement times drawn out and counterparty risks too great for institutional investors.
How does blockchain change this? And why aren’t we on the blockchain already?
Archax is the first UK FCA regulated digital securities exchange for growth stage SME’s. Graham Rodford (CEO) and Simon Barnby (CMO) join us to discuss:
Why we need an institutional-grade digital securities exchange?
What are the major differences between Archax and the existing solutions?
With new US-based digital security exchanges fledgeling, what makes Archax’s approach different?
What are the types of offerings we will first see listed?
How is the exchange built and what were the major hurdles in receiving the licence from the FCA?
