Swiss Equity Token Specialist Aktionariat AG and Securities Firm Taurus SA Announce New Partnership

Aktionariat's tokenization tools and Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX) organized trading facility are natural complements.

Swiss equity token specialist Aktionariat and securities firm Taurus have announced a partnership to support tokenized shares and facilitate the admission of select SMEs to trading on Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX).

Aktionariat provides tools for Swiss companies to tokenize their equity, enabling investors to hold shares as tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. This capability is now set to be complemented by Taurus’ organized trading facility, TDX.

Under the partnership, Taurus will support selected shares tokenized by Aktionariat on the Ethereum blockchain and Aktionariat will offer client companies a path towards being admitted to trading on TDX.

As these companies grow in market capitalization and meet the admission criteria, they will be able to apply for trading on TDX, which will provide broader access to liquidity for tokenized SMEs and their shareholders.

Murat Ögat, CEO of Aktionariat, said the partnership will enable companies to leverage blockchain technology for capital markets.

“Our mission is to enable companies to fully leverage the power of blockchain-based financing. While we already offer tools to enable the sale and limited informal trading of security tokens, there is a lack of licensed marketplaces for security tokens. Taurus fills this gap with its digital marketplace. Having a smooth path to access this market will provide value to our clients and also strengthen the usefulness of our offering for their investors.”

Victor Busson, CMO at Taurus, said the collaboration will help create an ecosystem for issuers and investors and showcase the benefits of tokenization for the private capital market.

“By combining Aktionariat’s expertise with our TDX marketplace, we’re helping to create a robust ecosystem for issuers and investors alike. This collaboration demonstrates how tokenization can increase liquidity and accessibility for the private capital market. We’re particularly excited about the potential for companies like RealUnit to leverage our platform, showcasing the tangible benefits of tokenization for both issuers and investors.”

Among the first tokenized SMEs expected to be admitted for trading on TDX following this partnership is RealUnit Schweiz.

The company is an investment firm focused on real assets, and its tokenized shares will be available for trading on TDX. Several additional companies are expected to follow in 2025 as the ecosystem of tokenized SMEs expands.

Dani Stüssi, CEO of RealUnit Schweiz, said the company is at the forefront of this partnership and that being admitted to trade on TDX will increase accessibility and liquidity for investors.

“As one of the first Swiss companies to offer tokenized instruments, we’re excited to be at the forefront of this partnership between Aktionariat and Taurus. Being admitted to trade on TDX is a natural next step in our journey to increase accessibility and liquidity for our investors. This move aligns perfectly with our mission of opening up access to actively managed real asset investments.”

The collaboration is expected to go live in November, enabling the first Aktionariat-tokenized SMEs to begin trading on TDX.
