Fairmint CEO: Tokenized securities and on-chain equity may reshape capital markets

Mars Finance News, according to Crowdfund Insider, Fairmint CEO and Co-founder Joris Delanoue recently shared the latest insights on tokenized securities and on-chain equity. Delanoue stated that Fairmint has been building infrastructure supporting on-chain equity since its establishment in 2019 and launched the Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP), claiming to have processed over $1 billion in native on-chain equity. He noted that on-chain equity means issuing and managing company shares directly on the blockchain, with ownership, transfer rules, and compliance conditions reflected in real-time through smart contracts. Delanoue emphasized: "For founders, this is transformative. They can embed rules such as investor qualifications, transfer restrictions, or price thresholds directly into the equity itself. For shareholders, this means self-custody, where you are not just listed in someone else's private database, but truly hold your own on-chain portfolio, able to view, verify, and transfer shares (if conditions permit)." He also mentioned that while US securities laws still apply, on-chain equity provides a simpler and more transparent experience for all participants.
