Project idea
The crypto community has been studying the prospects of asset tokenization for a long time. The opportunities associated with the asset tokenization are being explored not only by the crypto community, but also by the banking, financial and exchange circles. Blockchain offers great prospects, that are not able to provide any banking or financial instruments. Therefore, banks and stock exchanges have been closely studying the possibility of using blockchain technology for their purposes for a long time, including the tokenization of existing classical assets, shares of companies, transfer of various obligations to the blockchain.
The fact is that the classic stock market is closed to small investors. Stock exchanges are open to the large venture capital only. Ordinary investors can buy the shares and various securities of companies using the intermediaries - brokers. But they have to pay large commissions to brokers and wait for the withdrawal of funds from their brokerage accounts for a long time. This scares many potential investors from the classical market.
Smart Valor offers to tokenize classical assets and any securities. In addition, Smart Valor offers to tokenize any assets, including cryptocurrency. Thus, Smart Valor is ideal for cryptocurrency startups that can implement their ideas thanks to the issue of tokens.
Investors on the Smart Valor platform choose the most promising startups by voting. The investor's voting right depends on the number of Smart Valor tokens he / she owns.
Smart Valor is a decentralized marketplace for tokenized investments. It provides access to the digital alternative resources for people around the world.
