This has been achieved through an agreement with MPS Marketplace Securities Ltd, which issues tokens that represent stocks via smart contracts and buys and holds the real world stocks according to demand on the platform. The “digital stocks” are said to be backed 1:1 with the real-world stocks traded on conventional stock exchanges, like stablecoins backed by equities rather than fiat. Unlike traditional stock exchanges, this arrangement allows the platform to offer its users the ability to trade on stocks 24/7.
The regulated platform operates in full compliance with Mifid II (the latest EU financial regulations) which means it features a robust AML/KYC process.
The technology is built on Nasdaq’s Financial Information exchange (FIX), a vendor-neutral standard message protocol that defines an electronic message exchange for communicating securities transactions between two parties. The platform also supports trading via an API, which means it can be easily integrated with market makers, liquidity providers, algo traders, and hedge funds.
