Notable Quotes

• "In my view, the tokenization of public equities is not wishful thinking, nor is a distant future concept. At Intellistake, our long-standing vision has been to leverage blockchain technology for investors who prefer decentralized systems over traditional, intermediated markets. The company we have identified possesses, in our opinion, the legal and strategic framework necessary to make this possible internationally. We look forward to working with this company to explore if tokenization can be brought to Canada and this will be part of expression of interest that has been submitted into the process with the Canadian Securities Administrators." — Jason Dussault, Chief Executive Officer
