Tokenized Stocks

MERJ is able to support the listing of equity and debt securities issued on supported blockchain networks such as Liquid Network and Ethereum.

MERJ & Tokenized Stocks

MERJ is able to support the listing of equity and debt securities issued on supported blockchain networks such as Liquid Network and Ethereum.

While most of the focus of tokenized securities is in the private markets, MERJ is pioneering support of these instruments amongst listed market operators and was the first listing market operator to list a tokenized share issued on a public blockchain network (i.e. MERJ's own shares in 2017).

The traditional ("TradFi") and decentralized ("DeFi") financial worlds will continue to "merge" in coming years and MERJ will continue to be a leader in this space.

The near-term use case for Tokenized Stocks in the regulated securities markets is for cross-listings and easy movement between exchanges that support Tokenized Stocks along with use as collateral that can be used in DeFi lending by the growing number of crypto first investors.

Supported Blockchain Networks

MERJ supports tokenized securities on leading blockchain platforms:

Liquid Network

A Bitcoin sidechain designed for the digital asset ecosystem, providing fast, confidential, and secure transactions for tokenized securities.

Ethereum

The world's programmable blockchain, enabling smart contracts and tokenized securities with established infrastructure and wide adoption.
