Current Situation
An outcome of the adoption of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets is an asset owner’s ability to exercise self-custody as a matter of personal preference. The capacity for retail investors to exercise self-custody is limited with traditional securities except for select unregistered instruments such as bearer bonds.
Goals and Objectives
Improve customer engagement by enabling investors to exercise self-custody as a matter of personal preference by tokenizing traditionally registered securities.
Technology Deployed
Blockchain, cloud, and identity management
Use Case Summary
Distributed ledger technology has enabled retail and institutional investors to exercise self-custody, disintermediating the custodial function. Noncustodial wallets are expected to be an important element of the emerging digital asset ecosystem.
