Taurus SA, a Swiss digital asset infrastructure provider backed by Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse, has partnered with Swiss equity tokenization platform Aktionariat AG to create the first regulated secondary market for tokenized shares of small and midsize enterprises (SMEs).

According to the press release, Taurus will support selected shares tokenized with Aktionariat on the Ethereum blockchain.

At the same time, Aktionariat will offer a path for client companies to start trading on the Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX).

The companies become eligible for TDX admission as they grow in market capitalization and match specified criteria, Taurus said.
