BANKEX and Fusion Foundation to ‘Bring Collateralized Digital Assets to Market’.

BANKEX and Fusion Foundation

With an eye on small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs), BANKEX and Fusion Foundation have partnered. This pairing has announced their intent to bring ‘collateralized digital assets to market’.

While BANKEX provides issuers with a platform facilitating the tokenization and custody of assets, Fusion Foundation is able to act as a guiding hand through this process. Thereby, simplifying tokenization, and making the idea less daunting to potential clients.

Their initial efforts are expected to be focused on tokenizing commercial loans for SMEs. This means that SMEs looking to raise money, can do so through a loan which is funded by investors over the blockchain. Investors, acting as lenders in this case, receive security tokens, representing their share of the loan – as well as their entitled share of the interest garnered throughout the life of the loan.

This process opens up lower risk opportunities for investors to make money, while providing SMEs with financial opportunities that they would otherwise be hard pressed to find.
