UAE’s Rorix Holdings’ subsidiary, Finstreet, has granted eight licenses to its subsidiary entities to launch the first Digital MTF, Central Securities Depository, Private Financing Platform under one ecosystem.
This category-defining financial market infrastructure and its combination of activities makes it the first of its kind to operate across the global markets from Abu Dhabi’s ADGM.
Following the direct application of English common law under the regulation and supervision of the FSRA, Finstreet provides a platform for transitioning towards the future of capital markets as they respond to the opportunities presented by new technologies.
Finstreet’s three subsidiaries will be the first regulated, global market infrastructure to offer an end-to-end hybrid traditional and blockchain-powered ecosystem to investors and issuers, covering the full lifecycle of financial assets, including origination, issuance, trading, settlement and custody.
