Today the SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) announced that fintech accelerator F10 issued tokenized private stock held in SDX’s regulated central security depositary (CSD), which uses blockchain.

F10’s CFO Jonathan Seiler observed “clear advantages of managing our share registry and all related processes fully digitally.” SDX sees those benefits as efficiency and improved liquidity for private markets.
