Interested in digital securities and wondering what developments have been taking place within the sector? The following are a few recent announcements which flew under the radar.
Blockstation – A New CEO
Toronto based Blockstation has just announced a change in leadership. Cofounder and CTO, Jai Waterman, has officially transitioned in to the role of CEO. The role of CEO was formerly held by Marko Hafez, who also cofounded the company.
Upon announcing the transition, Waterman stated, “I am incredibly energized by our success in tokenized securities as well as our entry into lucrative markets such as mortgage-backed securities and carbon credits…We will deliver tremendous value to our shareholders, strategic partners and customers as we continue to accelerate the development of the company’s core technology, introducing new levels of security, transparency and efficiency to regulated trading marketplaces.”
Blockstation indicates that this change in leadership comes as it gears up for coming expansion, and a fresh capital raise.
Beyond this most recent update from Blockstation, we have highlighted its exploits on various occasions – most recently when it announced a Master Agreement with the Barbados Stock Exchange (BSE).
