Assetera, a digital securities marketplace, is now allowing trading in “Blue Chip” stocks, like NVDA and “T-Bill trackers,” providing 24/7 trading on a platform powered by blockchain technology.
Assetera is licensed and supervised by the Austrian Financial Market Authority and holds a MiFID II license. Assetera says its VASP licenses will be upgraded to meet EU MiCA standards.
The marketplace is available to non-US retail and institutional users. Assetera has partnered with Backed to issue permissionless tokens that track the value of real-world assets, which are said to be fully collateralized by them.
Assetera shares that it uses Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain for its tokenized, real-world assets trading.
Assetera has integrated with the Republic Wallet, which is part of the global securities crowdfunding platform Republic. The company claims that “millions” of users will be able to access tokenized assets via the wallet.
Assetera’s initial launch portfolio is said to include:
- Coinbase (bCOIN)
- NVIDIA (bNVDA)
- the S&P500 (bCSPX)
- Two tokenized TBill ETFs
“We are excited to partner with Backed and bring their tokenized assets to the Assetera platform,” said Thomas Labenbacher, CEO of Assetera. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation in financial markets and the empowerment of investors globally. With our regulated platform and atomic settlement capabilities, we are setting new standards for digital asset trading.”
Trading will include self-custody, round-the-clock trading, and cross-chain liquidity. The service is available to anyone who is not based in the US.
Assetera says it plans to expand services beyond the EU/EEA through ongoing license applications in Dubai and potential expansion into African markets.
