This week we have been packed full of activities to celebrate our third birthday! Alongside sharing our celebrations with the team and our friends, I thought it would be a good point to take a moment to reflect on our story, mission and what we have achieved to date.

Tokeny’s origins:

We started Tokeny Solutions in 2017 with the vision of making capital markets more accessible through the improvement in private markets liquidity. How did we envisage making this a reality? Through blockchain technology.

Financial markets, and in particular private markets, can become more transparent and open to more and new breeds of investors. Much like how the internet has improved access to knowledge, our mission remains the same – to utilise new technology to improve access to finance through better efficiency, transparency and ultimately industry liquidity.

Why?

We remain steadfast in our vision of why we are doing this too. Due to the lack of infrastructure, private market prices and assets are difficult to locate, which has resulted in an opaque and illiquid market. By digitizing the full life cycle of a security we are providing new paths to liquidity through a seamless, transparent and accessible experience.

Where are we today?

Today, we have the complete software solutions for the issuance and management of security tokens on both the buy side and sell side. We are providing issuers with the ability to finance their projects more easily whilst allowing them to manage compliance and their investors more efficiently. On the investor side we are opening access to opportunities and enabling more asset oversight in terms of transparency and control. We have over 40 use cases and our solutions are tried and tested by a multitude of different asset classes.

Where are we going?

What remains missing is the distribution piece. The arrival of qualitative and compliant assets on a global blockchain infrastructure will help many services providers and marketplace operators to emerge and scale. Through a more efficient infrastructure and the use of the compliance-enforcing technological layers that are needed to operate on this new network, private market actors can benefit from all the advantages that come from using blockchain technology. By using new technology, actors can solve long standing problems in the industry and new players will emerge. We are working hard to make this vision a reality.

Timeline:

As we celebrated this week, we thought it’d be the perfect occasion to look back on some significant moments in our journey:

How did we celebrate this year?

Due to the COVID restrictions we were unable to celebrate as we usually do at the LHoFT. Instead, even with the COVID restrictions, we marked the occasion with online T-REX deployment workshops, team building, games, quizzes, and apéro. As you can see below, we did it all! It is important that we kept strong as a unit during this time and cement that bond, so when we finally get back to being in-person we can take part in corporate scavenger hunts and other activities that will make us appreciative of everything that we have been through together.

Thank you:

Thank you to everyone who wished us happy birthday and to those that have been part of our journey for the last three years. We are hoping for many more successful years and birthday celebrations to come!
