EDSX intends to open the first Security Token Exchange in Switzerland

EDSX, founded back in 2019 and based in Zug, has gone through a long compliance procedure, almost two years and a half, to be able to provide one of the first platform in Europe to trade and exchange security tokens.

“In the last few months, we have seen an increased interest from traditional financial players for asset tokenization. We have built EDSX because we believe that the blockchain technology will have a disruptive impact on the capital market infrastructures and we want to be part of this change” said Mauro Andriotto CEO of EDSX.

EDSX has created a demo of secondary market and made it available on its platform. The launch could help the security token issuing and asset tokenization industry to take off as today there are many providers offering tokenization services but without the possibility to list the tokens. EDSX is already providing a primary market and will open the secondary in a few months. The decentralized exchange will allow trading in a peer-to-peer way but without the counterparty risk thanks to the blockchain technology.

On the primary market there are several “coming soon” projects that will open in a few weeks: start-ups, NFT blistered diamonds, a French biotech launching a pre-IPO in tokens that will be listed later this year on the Frankfurt stock exchange and one of the biggest mining and exploration group in Zambia that is digitizing $1 billion of copper on EDSX.
