The crypto industry records another major acquisition in 2020.
According to an official announcement, INX has signed a term-sheet for the acquisition of OpenFinance, which operates as a registered broker-dealer in compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
With the new deal, INX is set to acquire OpenFinance's broker-dealer and alternative trading system, or ATS, business including its systems, digital asset listings, client base, and licenses.
OpenFinance's listings include firms like major industry VC Blockchain Capital, Spice VC and Lottery.com.
INX's representatives said that their company will assure continuity of operations and service to OpenFinance's customer base.
"Digital securities represent a new evolution in traditional capital markets. There are massive benefits of listing and trading digital assets versus traditional equities. Openfinance has pioneered this space and earned the respect of Wall Street, the blockchain community, and U.S. regulators."
Openfinance CEO Jim Stonebridge highlighted that INX and Openfinance share the same vision of providing a safe and regulated ecosystem for listing and trading of digital assets.
"We believe that regulatory oversight, combined with liquidity, will make digital assets the financial instrument of choice for companies and investors seeking to access and raise capital," Stonebridge noted.
Launched in August 2020, the $117 million IPO claims to be the first-ever security token IPO that is registered with the SEC. Starting from Sept. 14, INX's IPO has been accepting major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
