Globacap are a financial technology startup using blockchain to raise capital. They have issued the world’s first tokenized equity, under oversight from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The technology creates a digital token that itself forms the legal shareholding in the company. The token’s in-built processes facilitate further transactions by automatically fulfilling the administrative and legal requirements of an equity ownership transfer under UK company law.

Such transactions are recorded on the token’s underlying blockchain. This is different to other types of equity tokens that merely provide a digital receipt of equity ownership.

Globacap is at the forefront of providing a more open capital market, leveraging blockchain technology to encourage investors of all sizes to participate in private investments previously only accessible to institutional investors.

Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
