Digital securities could drive additional liquidity to private equity

An SEC-registered transfer agent buying an SEC and Finra-registered broker dealer and alternative trading system may boost trading of private equity security tokens.

At the end of October, tZero, the leading alternative trading system for security tokens, announced it had been chosen as the trading venue for a $300 million data infrastructure technology fund from Tynton Capital, a venture capital and private equity fund manager.

Once this offering is complete, it will be a sizeable addition to a still small and rather self-enclosed market in security tokens.

Securities token offerings (STOs) have replaced initial coin offerings (ICOs), which burst onto the technology investment landscape in 2017 and 2018 when blockchain-based businesses raised large sums by selling to investors utility tokens to use on their platforms.
