Securitize, a compliance platform and protocol for issuing and managing digital securities on the blockchain, and C Block Capital, a private international investment group headquartered in Hong Kong, today announced a strategic partnership to bridge the traditional and digital capital markets in the Greater China Region.

Through this partnership, C Block Capital will be channeling digital securities offering projects originating from the Greater China Region onto Securitize’s platform for the issuance and management of digital securities.

“We are excited to partner with C Block Capital to bring together Securitize’s proven digital security issuance and lifecycle management platform with a leading digital asset manager and advisor in the Greater China Region. It’s a tremendous opportunity for growth in Asia for both companies, and further validation for Securitize’s DS Protocol which already has the highest adoption rate in the industry.”

“The partnership with Securitize comes at the perfect timing in light of recent developments in regulatory policies to promote Hong Kong as Asia’s top fintech hub. This strategic partnership allows both parties to leverage each other’s expertise and network to penetrate the fast-growing digital securities market, and to bring innovative financing solutions to the capital markets scene in the Greater China Region.”

Tapping into a USD 7 Trillion Market
