Transforming private markets with efficiency and transparency

Private markets are where private debt investments such as ownership shares in privately held companies are offered and traded.

Private debt investments require complex, time-consuming, and costly processes involving multiple intermediaries, regulatory hurdles, and high minimums. Debt tokenization on Polymesh lifts these challenges, enabling issuers to benefit from higher liquidity, efficiency, transparency, security, and reduced reliance on third parties.

Boosting liquidity while lowering costs

Private debt thrives on the secondary market, where eligible investors may benefit from liquidity while new investors can become involved through the exchange of existing private debt assets.

Tokenization makes the trading of debt instruments faster with reduced errors, lowering costs in the back office and freeing up funds for redeployment elsewhere.

Steps to tokenize assets on Polymesh

1

Choose your preferred issuance method

Polymesh provides base layer blockchain infrastructure that you can integrate directly in-house or with your own white-label token manager. For a completely no-code approach, choose an issuance platform. A securities professional or digital assets advisory firm can help you get in touch with a platform provider, or you can browse the Polymesh ecosystem.

2

Create your token

Decide when, where, and how to mint your token. Polymesh supports both fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens, as well as embedded compliance rules and metadata for important documentation and information about your asset. Polymesh also includes functionality for smart contracts in the Ink! language should they be required.

3

List your asset in a secondary market, if desired

One of the major benefits of blockchain technology is facilitating easier trading on secondary markets. This allows you to improve liquidity for your asset and reach a broader pool of investors. See the Polymesh ecosystem for secondary marketplaces including decentralized exchanges that can facilitate exchanges directly between investors.

4

Execute asset servicing and lifecycle management

Service your asset as per your business operations, client needs, and regulatory requirements. Governance and auditability are core aspects of Polymesh’s architecture while native features can be leveraged to automate corporate actions, increasing efficiency while decreasing errors and overhead.
