About DigiFT Tech

DigiFT is a regulated decentralized exchange for real-world assets (RWAs) tokenized on public blockchains. It was founded in 2020 by Henry Zhang, who brought his extensive experience from the financial and technology sectors to establish the company. The platform is designed to provide regulated and compliant access to digital assets for institutional and accredited investors.

The company is headquartered in Singapore and has secured significant regulatory approvals. It is the first platform to be licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as a Recognised Market Operator (RMO) and to hold a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license. Additionally, DigiFT has obtained an Approval-in-Principle for Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) licenses from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), signaling its expansion plans.

DigiFT's business model revolves around offering an end-to-end solution for the tokenization lifecycle, which includes the issuance, distribution, custody, and secondary trading of asset-backed security tokens. The platform features an Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanism to facilitate real-time liquidity and supports settlement in both fiat currencies and stablecoins. Its core product allows asset owners to tokenize their assets, such as corporate bonds or fund units, and offer them to a wider pool of investors on-chain. This process aims to enhance liquidity and accessibility for traditionally illiquid assets. DigiFT has collaborated with major financial institutions like UBS Asset Management and Invesco to launch tokenized products.
