SMART VALOR goes live with digital asset exchange

SMART VALOR has gone live with the first digital asset exchange operated out of Switzerland and Liechtenstein to provide an integrated offering of custody, trading and brokerage to global investors.

The assets available on the SMART VALOR platform will include cryptocurrencies and security tokens.

The platform is able to process one million orders per second and has a fully compliant onboarding process and a secure custody offering.

The custody and wallets are provided jointly with SMART VALOR’s partners–Ledger and BitGo.

During the go-live, two major cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ethereum will be available in currencies including the euro, UK pound sterling and the US dollar.

Security tokens backed by real assets will be added to the spectrum of available assets once the regulatory process is approved.

SMART VALOR’s Liechtenstein-based subsidiary has received approval from local authorities to operate a crypto-fiat exchange.

The firm is awaiting a multilateral trading facility license which will allow it to list and trade any type of tokenised securities, including equity instruments, funds and derivatives.

Olga Feldmeier, CEO at SMART VALOR, commented: “After 18 months of development, we are excited to go live with a core element of the SMART VALOR Platform—the exchange. This brings us a huge step forward to our vision of becoming the world’s first security token exchange for alternative investments.”
