Tezos chosen by BTG Pactual and Dalma Capital for Token Issuance

$1 Billion Pipeline

BTG Pactual and Dalma Capital have announced that they will be utilizing the Tezos Blockchain to facilitate ongoing, and future, STOs. The hope is that Tezos will provide a future home/platform for an anticipated $1bn + in tokenized assets.

As industry participants continue to develop and launch services helping to mature the digital securities sector, trends are emerging regarding blockchain adoption. While Ethereum remains the clear front runner in the sector, various influential companies have tied themselves to a different horse.

ReitBZ

BTG Pactual, in particular, has first-hand experience dealing with the STO process. Operating as the largest investment bank in Latin America, BTG Pactual recently had success in hosting the ReitBZ STO. This event saw digital securities sold, representing equity in distressed real estate within Brazil.

Dalma Capital was able to gain exposure to the nascent industry through the ReitBZ STO, as well. Throughout this process, the company assisted BTG Pactual as a ‘bookrunner’ for the event – meaning they assumed a prominent role in the coordination, and issuance, of the digital securities.

Upon making their announcement, representatives from each organization took the time to comment. The following is what each had to say on the matter.
