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.

Mstack Chemicals secures $40M to disrupt global speciality chemical manufacturing across more countries

2024-10-03T15:00:00Z

Cross-border speciality chemical manufacturing platform, Mstack, plans global expansion in Middle East, LATAM and Asia

Houston, Texas, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The pandemic revealed two critical truths about manufacturing: supply chains are now global, and chemical suppliers are indispensable in supply chains across industries. With Europe’s chemical heavyweights operating at persistent losses and inflated costs, and the China+1 movement encouraging more businesses to expand into new markets, the shift towards diversifying chemical sources is accelerating. Capturing this moment, Mstack, a US-based custom manufacturing platform that helps global buyers source high-quality specialty chemicals, has raised $40M to double down on its mission to disrupt a historically flawed supply chain for specialty chemicals. 

The company’s $40M Series A round was co-led by Lightspeed and Alpha Wave and included a debt facility from HSBC Innovation Banking as well as an all star lineup of angel investors. MStack will deploy the freshly infused capital to expand its footprint across the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, while continuing to strengthen its presence in the United States and other geographies.

Bejul Somaia, Partner at Lightspeed, added: “Geopolitical dynamics pose risks for supply chain disruptions in the global specialty chemicals market. With demand for these chemicals growing rapidly, there is a need to increase R&D investments and unlock new pockets of supply. As the first institutional investor in Mstack, we believe that the company has tremendous potential to lead this transformation. The new round of funding will enable them to unlock the full potential of their tech-driven platform and undertake cutting-edge research, offering high quality products to customers across the world.”


Mstack founder: Shreyans Chopra 

Mstack was founded in 2022 by Shreyans Chopra, whose decision to launch a cross-border brand in specialty chemicals was inspired by the rapid growth in the global specialty chemicals market. Through its well-established network of approved specialty chemical capacities in low cost, high quality regions – like India, the Middle East, and Asia – Mstack offers mid-to-large scale enterprises a full-stack solution for sourcing specialty chemicals through a reliable supply chain that is secure against geopolitical disruptions. This allows the company to serve price-sensitive buyers across the world with preferential pricing, while maintaining a strong commitment to quality, reliability, and consistency. 

Notably, the company has codified its entire operation into a single platform, allowing buyers to source, test, ship, deliver, and track all of their specialty chemicals in one place. This meticulous control ensures Mstack is able to consistently meet its value proposition of reliable and timely delivery. The company currently offers products in four categories: oil and gas, coatings, water treatment, and home and personal care. With this round of funding, Mstack is making inroads into agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, among other segments.  

Having already established a firm footing in the chemicals industry cross-border supply chain, the company is now intensifying its focus on expanding its talent base in the US, building a robust leadership team across categories, and doubling down on  research and development (R&D).

Shreyans Chopra, Founder at Mstack, commented: “This new funding affirms investor confidence in our vision and technology to transform global markets. It enables us to expand geographically and intensify our R&D efforts. We'll continue innovating to meet our customers' evolving needs. Our R&D team in India is poised to commercialize multiple chemicals soon. Future plans include establishing advanced labs to drive innovation and IP creation, while offering custom formulations and process innovation through our on-demand platform.”

Navroz D. Udwadia, Co-Founder and Partner at Alpha Wave Global, said:  “We are very excited to partner with Mstack as they play an important role in shaping the global chemical supply chain. This round enables Mstack to strengthen its R&D capabilities in co-creating new products with their vendors. We look forward to working with the team in delivering effective, cost efficient solutions to the customers, driving incremental ROI for them.”

For Mstack, the future looks bright. With its tech-driven approach, research labs, expansion plans, and fresh funding in its war chest, Mstack is on track to rewrite the rules of global specialty chemical manufacturing.
