Asian Expansion

It was recently announced that BMI Coinstreet Digital intends to utilize the services of both Polymath and STO Global-X in an attempt to make STOs commonplace in Asia.

Each of these companies brings a unique service to the table. By combining their efforts, the resulting functionality will provide a comprehensive solution for those looking to tokenize. This partnership will see Coinstreet Digital issue digital securities on the STO Global-X platform. These digital securities will take form as ERC-1400 tokens – a popular standard developed by Polymath.

Beyond tokenization, Coinstreet Digital intends to open over-the-counter trading services through the STO Global-X platform, as well.
