Digital Securities
DESICO partners with BlockTrade
Announcement
In a recent announcement, DESICO indicated that they have now established a partnership with Blocktrade.
The goal of this partnership is two-fold. One of these goals is broad – to continue adoption and development of the digital securities sector throughout Europe. The second goal is much more specific – by partnering, digital securities created and issued by DESICO can now be traded on Blocktrade.
As many are touting 2019 as the year for security tokens, partnerships such as this are important to achieve that. It is the promise of liquidity through secondary markets that has so many excited, and this announcement will help satisfy that excitement in Europe.
