We are pround to present our InvestaX collaboration to explore the cross listing of security tokens between Switzerland and Singapore.
The goal of the partnership is to evaluate cross-listing through the exchange platform between Europe and Asia. EDSX and InvestaX, respectively based in Switzerland and Singapore, have therefore initiated a productive partnership that will increase the liquidity for both companies concerning the STO market.
What exactly is cross-listing?
It is the listing of a company’s common shares on a different exchange than its primary and original stock exchange. In order to be approved, the company must meet the same requirements as any other listed member of the exchange according to the accounting policies – these include the initial filing, the minimum number of shareholders, and minimum capitalization.
Some of the main advantages are owning shares trade in multiple time zones, boosting liquidity, as well as providing access to fresh capital, which wouldn’t be possible if the company chose to only list in their home country.

Moving Forward
This collaboration between EDSX and InvestaX will improve liquidity for security token offerings trading on both exchanges. By enabling cross-listing, more investors in Europe and Asia will now have access to investment opportunities that were previously isolated regionally. This expanded reach is already attracting greater trading volume and valuation for companies utilizing security tokens to raise capital. Ultimately, the InvestaX Collaboration aims to connect investable markets across borders through blockchain technology, thereby demonstrating how distributed ledgers can facilitate more integrated and global private capital markets. The outcomes of this pilot initiative are providing valuable insights into both the opportunities and challenges of cross-listing digital securities internationally.
Based in Zug, the platform is fully compliant with all Swiss laws related to financial intermediaries, banking, anti-money laundering, and organized trading facilities. Among its core values, there are innovative solutions through blockchain technology, which ensures security and liquidity.
EDSX is the first platform in Europe with primary and secondary markets for both institutional and retails. EDSX is a pioneering platform that employs the world’s leading technology to globally list security tokens in both primary and secondary markets, listing digital securities of real financial instruments to the public with a decentralized peer-to-peer exchange. Our goal is to fully engage every aspect of the financial revolution.
