Structure the group
SwissChain structured its holding: group organisation, articles of association, governance. It is a prerequisite we find in every project: only what is well structured can be tokenised well.
Choose the instrument
The group chose participation certificates: securities that carry financial rights without voting rights. They let new holders take part without changing the balance of control.
Amend the articles of association
The basis in the articles for participation capital and for issuing ledger-based securities, decided by the competent corporate bodies with the group’s legal advisers.
Tokenise via Aktionariat
Issue of the participation certificates as ledger-based securities (art. 973d of the Swiss Code of Obligations) via Aktionariat: registration agreement, digital register, app for holders.
Open the register
Holder registration, identity checks, transfers recorded on the digital register. Holders’ practical questions shaped the way we inform.
Turn it into a method
Every step was documented: legal, technical, costs, timelines, sticking points. That log became the method Valkyrie Capital Partners now applies for other issuers.
