We are firm believers that adherence to financial regulations is key to sustained scalability, and we are taking all steps necessary to ensure our compliance to the highest global standards. Our focus is providing an open source infrastructure where users, investors and brokers can tokenise their assets, and benefit from the advantages of using Blockchain technology – without having to take on risks associated with cryptocurrencies.”
