We are transforming investing.
● Our mission
Transform investing through blockchain-powered asset tokenization, making wealth creation more accessible, liquid, and secure; putting financial ownership and power directly in the hands of investors.
● About us
Pioneers in real-world assets
Founded in 2019 in Poulsbo, Washington—across the Puget Sound from Seattle—we've assembled a core team of innovators in real world assets and technology. As pioneers in the field, we are proud to be the first to tokenize municipal markets, marking a significant milestone in the modernization of this crucial sector.
As a vertically integrated firm with both a regulated broker-dealer and transfer agent, we provide comprehensive, end-to-end solutions under one roof. This unique structure enables us to deliver seamless, secure, and compliant services to our clients while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory oversight.
● Our values
A more inclusive marketplace
Pioneering Tokenization
As the first to bring municipal debt to blockchain, we've tokenized over $800 million in real-world assets, establishing a new standard for institutional-grade digital investments.
Regulatory Excellence
Our vertically integrated structure includes both an SEC/FINRA-regulated broker-dealer and transfer agent, ensuring comprehensive compliance throughout the investment process.
Infrastructure Advancement
We're building the critical infrastructure that connects traditional finance to decentralized technology, creating more efficient capital flows for sophisticated investors.
