SINGAPORE, October 4, 2023 - ChainUp, a global provider of blockchain technology services, has announced the introduction of its Security Token Offering (STO) solution. This offering aims to provide institutions a platform for digital asset issuance and trading that aligns with security, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

STOs bridge TradFi and digital assets, combining TradFi's robustness and regulation with digital assets' innovation and efficiency. STOs are gaining popularity because they allow real-world assets to be tokenized, creating new financing and investment channels. STOs also offer a secure, regulatory-compliant way to raise capital, access global capital, and give investors legal rights. However, many institutions face challenges related to regulatory constraints and technological intricacies during their pursuit of unlocking the value of RWAs on blockchain networks.

To address the challenges that institutions are facing, ChainUp’s STO solution is poised to bridge this gap by ensuring the issuance and trading of digital assets in a secure and efficient manner, while also adhering to regulatory norms. The platform includes token issuance modules, compliance measures that can be adjusted based on requirements, primary markets, liquidity in secondary markets, and operational tools designed for revenue optimization.

A good STO platform should embody a few critical characteristics, ensuring a smooth, secure, and regulatory-compliant tokenization of assets and their subsequent trading:

1. Regulatory Compliance and Security: Including features like KYC/AML, KYT and risk management solutions, to maintain transaction legitimacy and transparency while enhancing transaction security and privacy through cryptographic techniques and smart contract auditing.

2. Support for Various Asset Types: Offering configurable asset templates that accommodate diverse assets such as futures, private equity funds, and real estate, and providing mechanisms for interest distribution and investment product management.

3. Liquidity in Secondary Markets: Empowering institutional investors to participate in market-making activities, fostering market liquidity and trading efficiency. Collaboration with ecosystem partners to guarantee order book depth and consistent trading, as well as integrating a liquidity incentive mechanism, are pivotal.

4. Customizable VIP Services: Offering modular deployment and compatibility with pre-existing infrastructures, coupled with continuous support from a dedicated expert team, form the backbone of an efficient STO platform.

ChainUp's STO solution is a compliant and secure platform that adheres to the foundational characteristics of a proficient STO platform. The meticulous integration of ChainUp Custody's KYC/AML features and Trustformer's KYT and risk management solutions ensures a fortified shield of regulatory compliance and robust security within the platform. This strategic initiative aims to expedite blockchain adoption in TradFi through an STO platform that meets and sets new benchmarks in regulatory standards and flexibility, paving the way for institutions to issue, subscribe, and trade security tokens, enhancing the liquidity of RWA.
