Companies searching for an option to raise private capital from qualified investors can tap on DBS to securitise real and financial assets into digital tokens, known as “Security Tokens”, for listing and trading on DBS Digital Exchange (the “Exchange”).
The listing and trading of Security Tokens on the Exchange is regulated under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (“SFA”) and Security Tokens is a distinct product class from Digital Payment Tokens (such as cryptocurrencies) which is regulated under separate legislation (i.e. the Payment Services Act 2019).
Further, please note that (a) the issuers on the Exchange are not subject to disclosure and prospectus requirements under Part XIII of the SFA; (b) the Exchange’s admission of issuers are not subject to the MAS’ oversight; and (c) DBS Group entities may participate on the organised markets operated by the Exchange. Please refer to the Exchange’s disclosure to participants for further information.
