Revolutionizing Finance: INX Tokenizes Greenbriar’s Shares on Blockchain

Get Ready for the Future

Yes, you read that right. INX just made a splash in the financial waters by launching its first-ever securities token issued by a public company. Mark your calendars for April 3, 2023, because the world of finance is officially breaking out the blockchain party hats!

The Big Deal: Greenbriar Capital Joins the Party

What’s the catch, you ask? The new token represents shares from Greenbriar Capital, the purveyor of entry-level housing and green energy products. Previously, you could only get a taste of their shares trading under the ticker GEBRF on the OTC market and as GRB on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But thanks to INX, the blockchain version is here to shake things up!

How Does It Even Work?

It’s not rocket science—it’s blockchain! INX’s security tokens are comfortably seated on the Ethereum network and follow the ERC-1404 standard like an obedient puppy. If you’re dying to purchase some security tokens, make sure to whitelist your Ethereum address via Metamask. It’s like getting your VIP pass, but for crypto!

• If you’re using a non-whitelisted address, forget about transferring those shiny new tokens—it’s a no-go!
• INX does not hold onto your tokens like your mooching friend holding your last slice of pizza; they stay firmly in your wallet!

What’s the Cost of Admission?

Hold onto your wallets, because INX slaps a $25 commission on each security token purchase. Now don’t panic—it’s all about those Ethereum gas fees! The platform believes in transparency, and this upfront cost helps manage those pesky fees.

The Broader Financial Landscape

While INX is rolling out the welcome mat, it’s not flying solo. Other platforms have also dipped their toes into tokenization. Remember KKR’s HCSG II? Yeah, that was tokenized on the Avalanche network. Tradition is getting a facelift, and tokenization is in the spotlight as experts argue this could bring some serious benefits to traditional finance.

Ralf Kubli, a voice of reason in this chaos, has touted tokenized mortgage-backed securities as a potential safeguard against future financial crises. Who wouldn’t want a safety net, right?
