Registered Investment Companies can now sell tokens to investors

San Francisco, CA, November 6, 2019: TokenSoft, the leading platform for financial institutions issuing securities on a blockchain, recently launched support for registered Investment Companies under the 1940 Act including ’40 Act Funds.

“TokenSoft’s ability to support our needs in building a ’40 Act compliant token offering was the main reason we chose them to partner with our registered fund offering,” said Jerald David, president of Arca Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based digital asset manager. “They understand the unique needs the ArCoin US Treasury Token has as an open-ended fund with on-going issuances and redemptions, and have been very helpful in our registration process.”

TokenSoft’s support for registered ’40 Act Funds include:

  • Ongoing offering and token issuance support for open-ended funds
  • Quarterly or semi-annual redemption periods for token holders
  • Support for Transfer Agents
  • Dividend support for cash-flow generating funds

Arca’s US Treasury Fund (Ticker: $UST) is a ’40 Act Fund pending SEC approval of their fund registration. The $UST token will represent an interest in the fund composed primarily of U.S. Treasuries as a low volatility investment alternative to stablecoins.

Investors passing Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering (KYC/AML) checks will be added to the smart contract’s whitelist for approved holders of $UST built on the ERC-1404 standard. This is unique for registered offerings that do not need to limit sales to accredited investors only.

“Adding support for registered ’40 Act Funds like Arca brings together a lot of tools we have built into one offering from on-going issuances and dividend support to integrations with transfer agents,” said Mason Borda CEO of TokenSoft.
