Fineqia International Inc is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Fineqia Limited, has a partnership with Nivaura Limited to use its white label capital markets platform to carry out a fully automated issue and management of tokenized bonds that are registered and settled on the public Ethereum Blockchain for its issuance test of bonds secured by crypto investments.
The test is required as part of the inclusion in the Sandbox Regulatory Program of the Financial Services Authority (FCA), which was announced in July 2018. The company was one of 29 out of 69 applicants who met the FCA sandbox eligibility criteria. The test should take place in the first quarter of 2019 and the results are expected in the first quarter.
It will allow holders of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to lend Fiat funds through the issuance of crypto-fixed assets. The product has resonated with institutional owners of crypto assets, such as miners, funds and exchanges who want to be liquid but do not want to sell their cryptocurrencies.
Fineqia’s partnership with Nivaura enables such institutional investment owners to offer Fiat-traded investments to investors for fixed periods and interest coupons.
“Nivaura’s advanced technology creates greater efficiency in financial transactions and is why we invested in the company last year,” said Fineqia CEO, Bundeep Singh Rangar. “It gives the Fineqia platform a simple transaction management workflow with a seamless solution for registering and clearing blockchain-based assets.
In January 2018, Fineqia, together with New York-based Digital Currency Group (DCG) and London-based international law firm Allen & Overy, invested in a minority interest in Nivaura.
Fineqia Ltd will provide a platform for fully automated issuance and management of bonds using Nivaura technology, enabling the management of the entire lifecycle of an instrument at substantially lower cost than existing channels and ensuring full compliance with applicable arrangements for arrangement and safekeeping.
Issuers will be able to structure, execute and administer legally binding bond contracts using a public blockchain or traditional clearing infrastructure.
Fineqia Ltd, with the same Nivaura technology, can also provide asset-backed bond issuance using traditional depository and clearing infrastructure as needed.
