EQS-News: coinIX COINVEST SCI1 issues new shares of crypto investment fund as electronic securities | Collaboration with NYALA Digital Asset AG and tokenforge GmbH | Crypto register on POLYGON PoS Netzwerk

Hamburg, 18.04.2024 - Investment firm coinIX, specializing in crypto asset and blockchain investments, is pioneering a new initiative in collaboration with NYALA Digital Asset AG and tokenforge GmbH  on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Network.

Following  the transfer of  its  liquid  crypto assets to a specialized  fund to facilitate  co-investments  by external stakeholders,  the company has now  issued  its  new fund shares  – designed  as investment shares of  an investment stock corporation  – as electronic  securities.  These investment  shares are no longer  documented in  physical certificates;  instead,  they are electronically  registered  with  a crypto registry operator, enabling direct allocation to an investor's wallet.

The issuance of electronic securities and the provision of security tokens were orchestrated in collaboration with NYALA Digital Assets AG, Berlin, with their subsidiary Smart Registry GmbH  acting as the  crypto  registry   operator. Tokenforge  GmbH   from   Berlin   handles   the  digital   subscription   of investment shares, ensuring a compliant subscription process and seamless integration of all regulated institutions. The crypto securities registry and wallets are maintained on the Polygon PoS  Network.

The coinIX COINVEST SCI1 fund is empowered to allocate up  to 100%  of its assets into crypto assets, managing  an actively  curated and diversified  portfolio.  Opportunities  for  generating  ongoing  income, such as through staking crypto assets, will also be explored. Notably, investment shares are restricted to professional or semi-professional investors, with a minimum investment threshold of EUR 50,000 for professionals.

Moritz  Schildt,  Managing  Director  of  coinIX  Capital  GmbH,   shared his  insights  on  the transaction: "Electronic securities represent a paradigm shift in asset ownership, offering streamlined processes like instant transfers. Through this pilot project, we aim to demonstrate the technical feasibility while aiding investors  in  navigating  this  innovative  investment  landscape."  Claus  Tumbrägel,  board  member of coinIX  COINVEST  Investmentaktiengesellschaft  mvK, added:  "While  investors  can currently  store their new investment shares in their wallets, facilitating their transfer to bank deposits in Germany remains a priority – we are actively seeking a banking partner." Daniel Wernicke, Co-CEO of NYALA Digital Asset AG, expressed enthusiasm for  the inaugural tokenization of an AIF through shares: "Investment shares like the ones we tokenized or coinIX will be a main driver of tokenized security adoption."
