Taurus SA, a Swiss digital asset infrastructure provider, has teamed up with equity tokenization platform Aktionariat AG to launch the first regulated secondary market for tokenized shares of SMEs. Supported by Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse, this partnership enables selected shares tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain to trade on Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX), enhancing liquidity and market access for SMEs.

The collaboration, going live in November, combines Taurus' trading tech with Aktionariat's tokenization expertise. Companies like RealUnit Schweiz AG, which tokenized shares in April 2022, will be among the first to trade on TDX.

Taurus CMO Victor Busson emphasized the importance of boosting liquidity and accessibility in private markets. Aktionariat CEO Murat Ögat highlighted Taurus' role in filling the gap for licensed security token marketplaces.

More tokenized SMEs are set to join TDX in 2025, broadening access to private equity investment through blockchain.
