Global adoption of token fundraising structures has led to an explosion of new capital formation.

In 2017, ICOs raised over $4 billion of early-stage capital and massively disrupted traditional finance. But while token fundraising is a booming trend, the global securities market has yet to participate in a meaningful way.

Stocks, bonds, venture capital, private equity and virtually every category of traditional finance still function on platforms designed in the analog era. But, the trillion dollar securities market could migrate to the blockchain…

Today, businesses looking to join the crypto-revolution by launching their own security token have nowhere to go. The opportunity for a platform to emerge and serve the thousands of firms waiting to transform equity capital into blockchain-powered tokens is immense.
That is why Polymath is building the world’s first decentralized protocol that will act as the interface between financial securities and the blockchain. This will empower corporations to launch their own securities tokens, massively disrupting the legacy securities industry.

Polymath’s stated mission is to guide venture capital firms, investment funds, and public companies through the complex technological and legal processes of a successful token launch.

But if security tokens are so great… why do barely any exist?
... because launching them is really hard.

"We have created a security token protocol which embeds regulatory requirements into the tokens themselves, which are then only available to verified and authorized participants."

The Polymath protocol verifies each cryptocurrency wallet address to ensure only authorized investors that meet the criteria for each particular security offering are able to transact with that security token.

By powering the next generation of securities tokens, Polymath is aiming to be the catalyst that launches the securities token revolution.
