Ryan Trinkle, Co-Founder of TSV
“Shares of a U.S. public company traded onchain under the SEC's Innovation Exemption for the first time, carrying the same rights as the CNTN stock that trades on Nasdaq.”
Ryan Trinkle, Co-Founder of TSV
“We set out to make our first listing the standard for how tokenized U.S. equities should work under the SEC's Innovation Exemption. The token is issuer-sponsored, with Fairmint's Onchain Transfer Agent keeping the official record, and every holder is verified before they can hold or trade. On Tradecraft, approved investors can now trade at any hour, and shares and payment settle on the Canton Network.”
