INX and Backed Launch On-Chain Tokenized NVIDIA Stock Trading

Zug, Switzerland, July 2nd, 2024, Chainwire

INX, the regulated marketplace for trading security tokens and tokenized real-world assets, and Backed, a pioneer in real-world asset tokenization, today announced the listing of tokenized stock on the INX platform for eligible non-US users. This groundbreaking partnership begins with the launch of bNVDA, a tokenized security backed one-to-one by NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) stock, issued on the Ethereum network, with the blockchain ledger conveying ownership.

The Future of Investing

This launch is a monumental step towards democratizing access to traditional financial assets and merging them with the 24/7 liquidity and accessibility of the digital asset space. Non-US eligible investors will be able to trade bNVDA with the ease and speed of cryptocurrencies, outside of traditional stock market hours, and with the ability to fund their account with crypto. Self-custodial securities open up new possibilities for traders. This is only the start, with more assets coming in the pipeline, such as ETFs, Bonds, or even commodities arriving on INX in the future. Backed’s tokenized public securities are called bTokens, which are permissionless ERC-20 tokens that can be transferred between wallets freely.

“We are thrilled to have Backed as one of our tokenization and issuance partners, and we’re excited to initiate the listing of their securities in our marketplace.” said Shy Datika, CEO of INX. “This partnership represents another milestone in our journey to enable the trading of real-world assets tokens. We are committed to advancing the accessibility and efficiency of the tokenized asset market, ushering in a new era of global finance.”

Adam Levi, Backed Co-Founder, added, “Crypto traders have been seeking a seamless bridge to the traditional market – and tokenized stocks provide exactly that. bNVDA is just the beginning; we envision a future where investors can build diversified portfolios of tokenized real-world assets directly on the blockchain. No need to offramp, and users can self custody their entire portfolio.”

INX provides a marketplace for tokenized assets and their partnership with Backed brings the first tokenized share to this market. This means that Backed’s bNVDA can now be traded on INX, which integrates crypto, fiat, and security tokens into a unified marketplace. Traders can now benefit from 24/7 availability to trade bNVDA, and fractional share ownership.

Backed’s tokenized assets, including bNVDA, are issued under an EU prospectus, allowing eligible investors to have full transparency of the products. Holders of bNVDA have the primary claim to the collateral value, in this case, Nvidia stock, which is held with a licensed custodian under an account control agreement. Distributed ledgers (blockchains) are the primary way that ownership is defined.

With Republic recently reaffirming its commitment to form a strong partnership with INX, and Backed completing their Series A funding round, the ecosystem for tokenized securities is becoming increasingly exciting. With partnerships like this, true interoperability and composability is becoming a reality.

Key Benefits:

●     Self-Custody: Hold the securities directly in a wallet that only you have control over.

●     24/7 Trading: Trade anytime, anywhere, not limited by traditional market hours.

●     DeFi ready: Use your tokenized stocks as collateral for loans or within other DeFi applications.

●     Blockchain Security: Leverage the inherent security and transparency of blockchain technology.

●     Access: Available to non-US qualified investors across multiple jurisdictions.

●     All On-chain: Fund your account with crypto and invest in tokenized stocks.

How to Get Started

Right now, to trade bNVDA, investors need to create an account on the INX platform and complete the required verification process.

Balancing AI Hype and Hope: Industry Leaders Unveil Growth Playbook at AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum

2024-09-27T15:37:40Z

Singapore, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum recently concluded, offering critical insights into navigating the fine line between AI hype and genuine opportunities. With global AI investments projected to reach $200 billion by 2025, industry leaders convened to discuss strategies for sustainable growth and realistic expectations in this rapidly evolving sector.

The forum featured two pivotal panel discussions: "Accelerating AI Growth: Founders and Investors Reveal Their Playbook" and "Decoding AI: From Hype to Hope," bringing together a diverse group of experts to share their perspectives on balancing optimism with pragmatism in AI development and investment.

Separating Hype from Hope: The Rise of Agentic AI

Alex Ren, Founding Partner of Fellows Fund, highlighted a paradigm shift that moves beyond the hype of generative AI: "We're witnessing a transition from generative AI to what we call 'Agentic AI.' This technology enables autonomous decision-making and task execution, opening up incredible opportunities for startups to create transformative enterprise solutions."

Alex further elaborated on the concept of 'vertical AGI' as a more realistic and immediately impactful approach: "We're pursuing companies achieving AGI-like capabilities in specific domains such as customer support, search, marketing, or accounting. That's where we see the next wave of innovation, rather than chasing the hype of universal AGI."

Grounding AI in Practical Implementation

Jianfeng Lu, Founder & Chairman of Wiz.AI, emphasized the importance of focusing on real-world applications over grandiose claims: "The first priority should be the user scenario and customer use case. What kind of data can we accumulate to build effective AI models?"

This sentiment was echoed by Shou Dong, CEO of ADVANCE.AI, who stated, "As an AI-powered fintech, we view large language models as tools to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. We're exploring applications in customer service, collections, and even telemarketing, always with a focus on measurable improvements in performance and efficiency."

Realistic Investment Strategies in an Evolving Landscape

Matthew Ma, Managing Director of Gaorong Capital, addressed the changing requirements for AI startup founders in light of more tempered market expectations: "Today's founders need to be well-rounded - they must understand technology deeply, have strong business acumen, and possess excellent fundraising capabilities. The days of securing funding based on hype alone are behind us."

Matthew also noted a shift towards more grounded valuation metrics: "For deep tech companies, valuations are now driven by the rarity of talent and technology rather than hype. Investors are looking for clear paths to commercialization and sustainable business models."


Balancing Innovation with Regulation

Helena Ma, Advisor at Milken Institute & AI Apex Foundation, highlighted the importance of regulatory frameworks in creating a sustainable AI ecosystem: "Stringent regulatory frameworks can foster a more mature and secure AI ecosystem." This perspective underscores the need for responsible AI development that can withstand scrutiny and deliver long-term value.

Identifying Real Opportunities in Emerging Markets

Shou Dong pointed out untapped potential that goes beyond the hype in Southeast Asia: "There's still enormous opportunity in sectors like SME financing. With over 60 million small businesses across Indonesia and the Philippines alone, there's a massive market for AI-driven financial services tailored to this underserved segment."

A Roadmap for AI's Future

Weiru Chen, Professor of Strategy at CEIBS, outlined three key milestones for AI's future that balance ambition with achievability:

1. Enhancing human productivity

2. Catalyzing new, high-growth business lines

3. Generating unprecedented value through disruptive innovations

Leo Jiang, Founder of AI Business Asia, emphasized the importance of grounding AI development in tangible outcomes: "The key takeaway for founders is to address clear market needs with demonstrable potential for unicorn-level growth, regardless of whether you're leveraging AI, blockchain, or any other technology. It's about solving real problems, not chasing buzzwords."

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum serves as a crucial platform for innovators, investors, and industry leaders to exchange ideas and shape a future where AI lives up to its promise without falling victim to unrealistic hype. By focusing on practical applications, long-term value creation, and ethical considerations, stakeholders can better position themselves to capitalize on the AI revolution while navigating its complex challenges and opportunities.
