SIX and SBI Digital Asset to launch digital issuance platform

The companies said this is in response to rising cryptocurrency transactions.

SIX Digital Exchange and SBI Digital Asset Holdings Co., Ltd. announced their intentions to work on a joint venture to drive institutional digital asset liquidity through a Singapore-based digital issuance platform.

The contemplated joint venture is set to target the growing demand for public and private institutional digital assets, including regulated digital asset securities and cryptocurrency assets.

It will market directly to regulated institutional clients, utilizing technologies from both companies to provide institutional grade services including issuing, listing, trading, CSD infrastructure, and custody of digital assets and cryptocurrencies.

The venture is set to go live by 2022, subject to regulatory approvals from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
