VANCOUVER, June 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Katipult Technology Corp.
(TSXV:FUND and FRA:K10), an industry leading and award-winning fintech company, is pleased to announce it has released its
proprietary secondary trading software that will be offered on a white label basis to firms looking to launch a private or open
exchange.
Katipult achieved a major milestone and upheld its previously announced timeline of 2Q18 to introduce its secondary market
product, which includes capabilities such as issuer buybacks, bulletin boards and auction-based price discovery. Katipult
clients will be able to offer tradable securities, introduce smart contracts, and automate clearing and settlement for
transactions at a much faster rate, while ensuring both the security of payments and regulatory requirements.
"Providing investors liquidity through a secondary marketplace is a valuable capability to firms in private capital markets,
and there has been an increased demand for secondary trading capabilities from our software with the rise of ICOs and
tokenization of assets," said Brock Murray, CEO of Katipult "We will pursue a strategy to
establish a strong market share in this segment and increase overall revenues with this additional product offering."
Katipult is working with leading crowdfunding platform WeAreStarting Srl to pilot its proprietary secondary trading software, and further adapt the new technology for
international regulations.
"We are enthusiastic about Katipult's adoption of blockchain into its software to track the ownership of shares in real time,"
said Carlo Allevi, Operations manager of WeAreStarting "This addition will open up long term
opportunities to extend the usefulness of the Katipult platform. In the secondary market, having the capability to manage voting
rights and direct marketing actions to shareholders is a real breakthrough."
