LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2018 / -- The Elephant, a London-based blockchain-powered secondary market platform, announces that Eastmore Group, an alternative investment firm, has joined its Security Token Offering (STO) as its first institutional investor.
“We are proud to join The Elephant STO and its token offering that allows for investors to enter the crypto space with asset-backed tokens which are backed by equity rights in some of the most promising privately held companies around the globe,” noted Eastmore managing director Bryan Reyhani. “The tokenization of these private company equity rights allows for expanded investor access and greater liquidity in companies that choose to remain private for a longer duration.”
