FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLUMBUS, OH – April 22, 2018 – 10XTS, a pioneering blockchain technology company, has announced a strategic partnership with LOUD Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm based in Columbus, Ohio. LOUD Capital has also taken an investment position in 10XTS’s recent seed stage funding round, signaling a strong commitment to the company’s mission and its upcoming product launch of XDEX. This partnership paves the way for LOUD Capital to explore the tokenization of its portfolio, enabling new levels of liquidity and compliance for early-stage investments.
LOUD Capital, known for its active investments in innovative early-stage companies and its industry-specific funds, joins 10XTS at a time when blockchain technology and regulatory-compliant tokenized securities are gaining significant traction. With an eye on the future of decentralized finance, LOUD Capital recognizes the potential for blockchain to transform capital markets, bringing greater liquidity and access to both investors and early-stage companies.
XDEX: Bridging Traditional Securities and Token Offerings
10XTS’s XDEX platform is a groundbreaking records management and information compliance ecosystem designed specifically for funds and early-stage companies. The platform provides a regulated environment for issuing and trading blockchain-based tokens backed by real-world securities. Unlike the speculative ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) that exploded in 2017, XDEX ensures compliance with regulatory standards set by the SEC and CFTC, making it a secure solution for investors seeking legitimate, tokenized investment opportunities.
The XDEX platform addresses a growing demand for regulatory-compliant tokenized securities, responding to heightened scrutiny from U.S. regulatory bodies. By combining the benefits of traditional securities with the innovative capabilities of tokenized assets, XDEX provides a solution that offers liquidity and transparency, appealing to both traditional investors and blockchain enthusiasts.
“Token sales represent an opportunity for the average person to buy into a potential high-growth opportunity for wealth creation,” said Michael Hiles, CEO of 10XTS. “Our goal was to improve investor liquidity of traditional startup investments to reduce portfolio risk, which is one of the big reasons people love ICOs. While we still have a way to go to fully convince the regulators of the approach, we’ve been careful to ensure the system only permits trading and reporting of securities tokens in a compliant way.”
LOUD Capital’s Vision for Tokenizing Venture Capital
LOUD Capital, led by Managing Partner Navin Goyal, M.D., is leveraging this partnership as the first traditional venture capital firm to explore tokenizing its own portfolio of funds and companies. Goyal emphasizes the educational role LOUD plays in introducing investors to exciting early-stage opportunities and sees blockchain as a critical part of that future.
“We are constantly finding ways to help companies in the early-stage space as well as educating investors about these exciting opportunities,” said Goyal. “10XTS is approaching a decentralized blockchain platform with a regulatory strategy, and we support this more difficult yet sustainable route.” By working closely with 10XTS, LOUD Capital is taking proactive steps to adapt its investment strategies to the evolving blockchain market, demonstrating a commitment to staying at the forefront of financial technology.
With this partnership, 10XTS and LOUD Capital are well-positioned to create a more accessible, compliant landscape for tokenized securities, transforming the ways in which early-stage companies raise capital. By tokenizing investments, LOUD Capital’s portfolio companies may benefit from new channels for liquidity and growth, making venture capital a more appealing option for investors seeking flexible, transparent investment opportunities.
The Road Ahead for 10XTS and XDEX
The 10XTS team is focused on the upcoming launch of XDEX and continues to work closely with regulatory bodies to ensure the platform’s compliance. By aligning with LOUD Capital and other stakeholders committed to the compliant use of blockchain technology, 10XTS aims to set a standard in the tokenized securities space.
This partnership underscores the importance of regulatory alignment in blockchain innovation, particularly as the SEC and CFTC increase oversight in the ICO space. By taking a transparent and proactive approach to compliance, 10XTS is positioning XDEX as a responsible, sustainable solution for tokenized securities.
