• Tokenize.it introduces the first Security Token Offering (STO) with BWALA Tokens, facilitating Bitwala’s crowdfunding on their platform.
• The platform offers enhanced process efficiency and legal optimizations for STOs tailored to German regulations.

A New Era in Startup Financing: The Tokenize.it and Bitwala Partnership

Tokenize.it GmbH, a pioneering force in the blockchain space, has officially announced the launch of the first Security Token Offering through crowdfunding, marking a significant innovation in financial strategies for startups. Bitwala, a frontrunner in embracing this novel approach, is the initial company to launch its crowdfunding efforts for the BWALA tokens through Tokenize.it’s platform, aiming to bolster Bitcoin adoption throughout Europe.

Revolutionizing Investment with BWALA Tokens

In this strategic alliance, Bitwala leverages the issuance of profit-sharing rights represented by BWALA tokens as a novel form of startup financing. Each token signifies a stake in Bitwala GmbH’s profits, currently valued at 15 million Euros. Token investors are afforded economic rights equivalent to shareholders, including profit distributions and exit participation rights, mirroring traditional equity stakes but facilitated through blockchain technology.

Platform Benefits and Legal Enhancements

Tokenize.it streamlines fundraising by offering GmbH tokens up to a value of 8 million Euros to both professional and retail investors. This is made possible through a standardized contract framework specifically designed for German limited liability companies (GmbHs), eliminating the need for notarial certification and thereby simplifying the investment process.

The issuance of these tokens not only democratizes investment but also increases liquidity and transparency through the integration of smart contracts. This allows for a more fluid transferability of shares and automates financial transactions, providing a direct link between investors and the startup’s success.

Simplicity and Transparency for Investors

Tokenize.it’s user interface simplifies the setup of crowdfunding campaigns, enabling companies to generate publicly shareable links for distribution across various digital channels. This functionality enhances the accessibility of investment opportunities, broadening the investor base and fostering a more inclusive financial ecosystem.

Tokenize.it’s innovative approach marks a milestone in the evolution of fundraising based on security tokens in Germany. By harnessing the power of tokens, companies can engage their communities more effectively, scale efficiently, and accelerate their growth dynamics.
