Sharpe Ventures is delighted to announce an investment in OpenFinance Network, the US based regulated security token trading platform. This recent investment further demonstrates our commitment to creating a democratic, incentive based ecosystem.

OpenFinance Network is the first US based regulated securities token trading platform. The platform is distinctive in its highly experienced team and goal, to bring efficiency, transparency and interoperability to a fragmented marketplace.

OFN is a blockchain-based protocol and framework for trading, clearing, and settlement of security tokens and other alternative assets. The platform strategy and structure has impacted the traditional securities transaction lifecycle, dealing directly with the currently outdated clearing and settlement process defined by a lack of standardization and non-interoperability, hindering investors and the market. The unique blockchain-based approach has also enabled the creation of a decentralized securities depository mechanism by which data interoperability for traditional alternative assets and emerging crypto assets, can be leveraged across the various intermediaries in the industry in a transparent, secure and efficient method.

“Sharpe Ventures aims to invest in blockchain businesses with proven market traction and a dedicated team. OpenFinance Network offers both, they have an experienced and multiskilled team and are already a trusted player in the alternative asset industry since 2014, moreover OpenFinance Network are dedicated to creating a tokenized economy for universally inclusive value exchanges, opening up opportunities for all investors, traditional and crypto. ” — Dr James Butler, Co-founder, Sharpe.

Sharpe Ventures investment in OpenFinance Network is the next logical step in achieving the set out vision of accelerating the development of a transparent and inclusive tokenized ecosystem and encouraging industry wide adoption of blockchain technology.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have the support and confidence of James, Lewis and the team at Sharpe Capital. They have established themselves as one of the most innovative groups in the space and we are pleased to have them contribute to our project. They have had the foresight to invest in and advocate for the security token movement, one we believe will be revolutionary for financial markets globally.” — Tobin McComas, CRO and Director of Business Development, OpenFinance Network.
