"INX is proud to list a layer-1 blockchain and enterprise technology provider that is extremely well positioned to capitalize on huge market opportunities including blockchain and AI."

The tokenization and listing of Casper Labs equity represents a pivotal moment in the industry, solidifying tokenization as the leading use case driving the global adoption of digital assets by retail and financial institutions.
"Casper Labs was founded in 2018 to build an enterprise-grade blockchain for businesses and governments, whom we believe will ultimately be the highest-volume users of the technology," said Mrinal Manohar, CEO and co-founder at Casper Labs. "It's clear that the market has reached a tipping point:organizations are utilizing blockchain technology at historically high rates. We are well positioned to serve this surging demand for a truly enterprise-grade solution;our listing with INX is a major milestone that will open the door to individuals and organizations seeking greater exposure to this industry at an exciting juncture."
