Zurich Based Sygnum Becomes First Bank to Tokenize its Shares on Ethereum

2020-12-16 21:27

Sygnum, a Zurich-based digital currency bank, has tokenized its shares according to a recent announcement on the company’s blog post. The bank touts itself as the first of its kind to tokenize shares on a distributed ledger, hence forging a path for the future of public offerings. These shares have been tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain via Sygnum’s tokenization platform dubbed ‘Desygnate.’

This means that Sygnum’s shares can now be accounted for via a blockchain ecosystem, including the associated legal rights and obligations. The blog reads,

“Put simply; this means that digital representations of Sygnum shares, together with associated legal rights and obligations, have been created and are immutably accounted for on a distributed ledger.”

With tokenization in the picture, Sygnum’s share registry will be updated automatically any time there is a capital injection transfer. According to Sygnum, this approach minimizes the counter-party risk attributed to settlements, given the bank will be using distributed ledger tech to manage both primary and secondary market transactions.

This initiative will also eliminate the administrative burden of written share transfer requests embedded in the current market structures. Sygnum Bank co-founder, Mathias Imbach, commented on the underlying value proposition in share tokenization,

“This is an important milestone towards fulfilling our mission of creating more direct and efficient access to ownership and value. This includes new engagement models with our clients and partners, and ultimately providing liquidity for our trusted shareholders.”

In the future, Sygnum plans to list its shares in Switzerland and Singapore via SIX Digital exchange and SBI digital Asset Holdings for the latter market. As reported by BEG, SIX recently completed a CBDC pilot test in collaboration with the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the Swiss National Bank (SNB).

It comes as no surprise that Sygnum is already eyeing a public offering in this marketplace. SIX Digital Exchange Head, Tim Grant, said that they are looking forward to the partnership,

“We are excited to partner with Sygnum on this journey and hope to facilitate a successful dual listing across Switzerland and Singapore in the future.”
