Digital Securities are already impacting current financial systems
Digital Securities Market Overview
The technology associated with this (security token) offering allows us to be a pioneer in providing access to assets
classes that have historically been difficult for global retail investors to access… We are constantly exploring innovative
ways to promote, democratize and encourage the development of financial and capital markets.
Roberto Sallouti, CEO of BTG Pactual
Through this initial application of blockchain technology, we begin a process that could revolutionize the core of capital
markets infrastructure systems. The implications for settlement and outdated administrative functions are profound.
Bob Greifeld, Former Nasdaq CEO
This is the beginning of a new era for capital markets infrastructures. For us it is abundantly clear that much of what is
going on in the digital space is here to stay and will define the future of our industry. The financial industry now needs to
bridge the gap between traditional financial services and digital communities.

Executive Summary
Digital Securities Market Overview
● Digitizing securities through blockchain technology can enable cost savings, economic value
creation, and risk reduction
● Despite the initial hype around Security Token Offerings (STOs) as a new form of crowdfunding,
they are simply one aspect of the broader emerging trend of Digital Securities / tokenization
○ Harbor’s recent pivot from an issuance platform to tokenizing existing securities highlights
this underlying market shift of issuance vs. tokenization
● While the Digital Securities ecosystem is quite nascent, early examples from financial
heavyweights like Santander and Franklin Templeton point to the potential benefits around
compliance automation and cost reduction
● This report will explore the early traction, advantages and challenges ahead for Digital Securities

Defining Digital Securities
Digital Securities Market Overview
1MIT Digital Currency Initiative report, “Tokenized Securities”
2ASIFMA “Tokenized Securities: A roadmap for market participants and regulators”
A token is a digital representation of rights to any tangible (financial or otherwise) or intangible asset1
● Digital Securities (also referred to as Security Tokens) can be generally thought of as
regulated securities with a digital token wrapper
● Digital Securities share the same legal constructs as traditional securities but by virtue of
being on the blockchain often enable additional technical features, such as automatic
payments and a transparent / immutable record of ownership2
○ Digital Securities are tokens (technology implementation) that act as a security (legal
concept)
● While Digital Securities, Tokenized Securities, Security Tokens, etc. are often used
interchangeably, the report will use Digital Securities throughout

Benefits of Digital Securities
Digital Securities Market Overview
Issue
iCap Equity, a Seattle based real
estate investment firm,
establishes real estate funds with
an average lock up period of four
to five years
To satisfy investors’ need for
liquidity the firm must facilitate
secondary investor transfers, but
this process is manual, time
consuming, and expensive
Opportunity
To improve this process, iCap
leveraged Harbor’s digitization
platform to tokenize shares in the
fund, enabling liquidity earlier in
the fund’s lifecycle
Smart contracts ensure that only
compliant transfers are made by
investors and brokers, and help
automate the secondary transfer
process while reducing
transaction and legal costs

Switzerland: Following the EU’s lead
February 16, 2018 - FINMA, the finance regulatory body of Switzerland, published guidelines on what outlines the
treatment of asset (security) tokens:
Regulatory Landscape
● According to the regulator, asset tokens are considered securities and trading is subject to security law
requirements, as well as civil law requirements according to the Swiss Code of Obligations
● While not part of the European Economic Area, Switzerland has bilateral agreements with the EU and tends to
follow in legislation in order to maintain access to EU capital markets, including with corresponding prospectus
regulation
Asset Tokens
● Represent assets such as participations in real physical underlyings,
companies, or earnings streams, or an entitlement to dividends or interest
payments
● In terms of their economic function, the tokens are analogous to equities,
bonds or derivatives

18.
18
UK: Guidance on Cryptoassets
● In January 2019, the Financial Conduct Authority released a publication titled “Guidance on Cryptoassets” which
provides more clarity into the qualification and treatment for security tokens
● Under this guidance, security tokens are classified as “specified investments” and therefore traders must have the
proper qualifications under the FCA’s approval
● According to the FCA, firms can issue security tokens without needing a regulatory license as is the case with the
issuance of shares. But in instances where the tokens are traded, the advisors and brokers handling the tokens,
and the financial promotions regime, will need authorization
Regulatory Landscape
If a token is tradeable on the capital market, the FCA noted that it will
be considered a transferable security under EU MiFID, and will be
subject to resulting regulations as well

Japan: 2019 provides regulatory clarity for Digital Securities
Amendment to Act on Settlement of Funds (Act
No. 59 of 2009)
● Previously, cryptoasset custodians (or wallet
vendors) were not subject to regulation
● Now, those involved in managing cryptoassets for
others must maintain proper registrations and
licenses
Amendment to Financial Instruments Exchange
Act (Act No. 25 of 1948)
● Under the amended FIEA, Digital Securities must
adhere to strict disclosure requirements on both
itself and the product
● Requirements involve filing a securities
registration statement and semiannual reports
In May a bill was enacted to amend two pieces of legislation and is expected to come into effect in Apr 2020
Regulatory Landscape
Japan STO Association
On October 2nd, six major Japanese brokerages including Nomura and Daiwa announced they had formed the Japan
STO Association - aimed to lobby for, promote and devise guidelines for security token issuance
Security Token Research Consortium (SRC)
On November 6th, Japan’s largest financial group - MUFG - announced that it would lead a research consortia to
develop standards around security tokens. Securitize will be the single issuance platform for the consortia.

Singapore: MAS publishes “A Guide to Digital Token Offerings”
Regulatory Landscape
● MAS has since granted a recognized market operator (RMO) license to 1exchange, Singapore’s first private
securities exchange that facilitates digital token trading. Singapore’s flagship stock exchange SGX is an
investor in 1exchange
● It’s worth watching if MAS increasingly scrutinizes Digital Security offerings. In January 24, 2019 MAS issued a
warning to an ICO issuer to halt operations after finding it violated securities regulations regarding advertising
and issuing a prospectus
In November 2018, the Monetary Authority of
Singapore (MAS) published “A Guide to Digital Token
Offerings,” which outlines that tokens representing
capital market products, including securities, will be
regulated as such

21.
21
Hong Kong: providing regulatory clarity around investment & management of digital assets
In September 2017, the Hong Kong Securities and
Futures Commission (HK SFC) released a
statement on ICOs stating that, “digital tokens that
are offered or sold may be “securities” as defined in
the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO), and
subject to the securities laws of Hong Kong”
Regulatory Landscape
In March 2019, the HK SFC released a “Statement on
Security Token Offerings”, reminding operators that any
person who markets and distributes security tokens is
required to be licensed or registered for Type 1 regulated
activity (dealing in securities) under the SFO
2017 2018 2019
Sources: State of Security Token Regulation in Asia and HK SFC Statement on Security Token Offerings
In November 2018, HK SFC published a
statement on the regulatory framework for
digital asset portfolio managers, fund
distributors, and trading platform operators
In November 2019, HK SFC published a position paper
following the November 2018 announcement. The paper
focuses on digital asset exchanges, and outlines that
exchanges trading one or more security tokens must
acquire new licenses similar to those of brokers and can
only sell to professional investors

22.
Challenges & Case Studies
SECTION THREE:

23.
23
Challenges
Early challenges for the Digital Securities ecosystem:
Nascent Infrastructure:
● Lack of liquidity across exchanges due to lockups and limited secondary markets / exchanges
● Investor educational gap (new processes around post-trade activities i.e custody, fund accounting)
Supply and Demand Mismatch:
● Differing risk & return expectations among investor profiles. Per Josh Stein, CEO of Harbor, on their recent pivot:
“The overlap between investors demanding tokens and investors interested in security tokens was zero.”1
● While there have been over 100 security tokens created, investors have been slow to adopt. Successfully funded
Digital Securities often had already sourced investors prior to an offering
Regulatory Uncertainty:
● 63% cited lack of regulatory clarity in the US as the top challenge for Digital Securities (Greenwich Associates)2
● Over 40 pending broker-dealer applications with FINRA as of June 2019 3

Challenges
Despite early challenges, Digital Securities provide significant advantages:
“As a result of a 2013 class-action lawsuit, former Dole
shareholders were entitled to a payout. The problem occurred
when 49 million shares were submitted as eligible for the payout,
while only 37 million shares were outstanding at the time.
Theoretically, this would not have been possible if the shares
were recorded on a blockchain.” - Greenwich Associates1
Exchange infrastructure continues to mature with multiple
exchanges recently launched/planning to launch across next 12-
18 months (tZero, SIX Digital Securities, SharesPost,
SGX/1exchange, INX etc.)
“Because tokens are programmable, compliance with
regulations can be programmed into smart contracts, reducing
and automating the regulatory compliance burden. The smart
contract will be able to execute, regulate and govern the token.”

BTG Pactual and Elevated Returns tokenizing $2B worth of real estate
● BTG Pactual, along with partner Dalma Capital, announced in July 2019 an initiative to tokenize $1B
of investments ranging from real estate to alternative investments including equity and debt interests
in sports clubs - all on the Tezos blockchain
● After tokenizing the St. Regis Resort in Aspen, Elevated Returns announced it will switch from the
Ethereum to Tezos Blockchain and plans to issue $1B of tokenized real estate issuances
● Overstock’s security token platform tZERO and the Tezos Foundation have partnered on a project
that will tokenize £500 million ($643 million) in real estate from U.K based Alliance Investments
● BTG Pactual, Dalma Capital, Elevated Returns and Alliance Investments represent a huge
opportunity for adoption in Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the UK respectively
● By supporting $2.5B+ in potential digital securities, Tezos positions itself to become the leader in
asset tokenization and security

Harbor tokenizes $100m worth of real estate funds
● Harbor recently pivoted from helping companies issue security tokens to helping them tokenize
existing securities, starting with the issuance of tokens representing the shares of four real estate
funds worth $100 million.
● Harbor outlines the significant benefits of tokenizing Real Estate funds:
○ “Real estate funds are part of the nearly $9 trillion alternative assets market. These private
securities are almost completely illiquid today, in large part because of the transfer cost, legal
process, friction, and escrow delay in the current paper-based transfer processes...
○ … a transition to digital private securities backed by blockchain technology brings efficiencies
and automation to the secondary transfer process, allowing issuers to lift transfer restrictions
while maintaining total compliance with laws and control of the process.”

Santander completes first end-to-end tokenized bond
● On September 12, 2019, the Spanish Banco Santander issued a 20M USD tokenized bond with
one year to maturity. The bond carries a quarterly coupon rate of 1.98%, which will be paid out in
tokens. The bond was purchased by a business unit of the overall Santander group, with other
aspects of the organization acting as custodian, dealer, and tokenization agent
Case Studies
● While this transaction was internal to the
bank, it demonstrates the potential of
tokenization to make financial transactions,
according to Santander, “faster, more
efficient, and simpler”
John Whelan, Head of Digital Investment
Banking, elaborates on the potential impact:

29.

Franklin Templeton proposes tokenized money market fund
● Franklin Templeton, a global investment fund with nearly $700B in assets under management,
announced that they will be launching a tokenized money market fund. The token is constructed to
maintain a stable price of $1.00 and invest at least 99.5% of its AUM in government securities,
cash, and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by government securities or cash
Case Studies
● This is one of the first true steps into the world of tokenization and lays the groundwork for a
potential swell of asset managers introducing the concept of a “tokenized” security to their large
pool of potential investors. In comparison to Facebook’s Libra, which received significant
regulatory backlash, Franklin Templeton’s has taken a different approach to issuing a stablecoin:
○ “We believe a registered money market fund that is backed by hard assets and registered
with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, with its shares existing as native
digital assets on a blockchain and held in a digital wallet, can be an ideal stable digital asset
to be used in the new economy.” Franklin Templeton proposes tokenized government money market fund

30.
30
Fluidity introduces Tokenized Asset Portfolio (TAP)
● Fluidity executed a pilot using U.S. Treasury securities as underlying collateral in the MakerDAO’s
multi-collateral Dai system, with the intention of leveraging the same framework for other assets,
like real estate and corporate bonds. At the core of the model is a special purpose vehicle (SPV)
that holds the asset, generating a token that represents a share of the T-Bill collateral. The token
is then used as collateral in a collateralized debt position to generate Dai
Case Studies
● This experiment is one of the first to bridge
legacy finance with the emerging
decentralized financial ecosystem and
introduces an additional form of collateral to
support MakerDAO and the DeFi ecosystem

31.
31
Morningstar announces two products for debt securities
● The credit rating agency Morningstar announced plans to be the first agency to rate blockchain
based debt instruments
● The agency is working on two debt securities related blockchain products - a smart contract oracle
to issue a credit rating on-chain and an on-chain rating model for investors to test the quality of
their own investments
Case Studies
● Blockchain based debt has the potential to make debt issuances more efficient, making it possible
for organizations to issue debt on a smaller scale without sacrificing profit
● As a major player in the credit rating space, Morningstar can bring legitimacy to blockchain based
debt issuances and speed their adoption

32.
32
Fundament secures BaFin approval to tokenize real estate bonds
● Fundament, a German security token issuance platform, received approval from regulatory agency
BaFin to distribute the country’s first tokenized real estate bond
○ The bond will have an issued volume of €250 million, and a minimum investment of €1
● In October 2019, Fundament also announced a partnership with leading German real estate
developer Bauwens to tokenize billions of dollars’ worth of real estate across Germany
● In November the firm announced a partnership with the Tezos Foundation to use the Tezos
blockchain for security token issuance, signalling another large allotment of digital securities to be
represented on the platform
● BaFin has previously approved multiple compliant digital security activities, including BitBond’s
tokenized bonds, demonstrating a potentially friendly environment for digital security innovation
