Dutch Shareholder Registry to Undergo Tokenization through Firm24, Dusk, LTO, Collaboration

SME Tokenization

A new collaboration, with the potential to bring great exposure to blockchain based tokenization, has just been announced.  This collaboration sees a trio of Dutch companies working together – Firm24, LTO Network, and Dusk Network.

The trio note that Firm24 will see their registry of SME shareholders undergo tokenization, and, in the process, greatly benefit from new levels of efficiency and transparency.

Shareholder Registry

The tokenization of their shareholder registry marks, simply, the latest in a series of moves geared toward the automation of incorporation procedures within the region.

Without tokenization, high levels of efficiency can be difficult to maintain, as secondary market trading leads to difficult tracking of share ownership.  By turning to blockchain, and the tokenization of shares, the accuracy of the registry stands to benefit, as it can then be updated in real-time, providing a true look at who owns what.

By the Numbers

This undertaking is not a small one, as the client base managed by Firm24 totals over 35,000 SMEs.  These 35,000 are located within the ‘BENELUX’, with an expected 10,000 to undergo tokenization in 2020.

*The ‘BENELUX’ refers to a region comprised of 3 nations which operate as a cooperative – Belgium, Netherlands, and LUXembourg*
