At Spiko, we are convinced that capital markets infrastructure needs a technological upgrade. We aim to be at the forefront of a new generation of treasury solutions using more modern and efficient technologies.
Spiko funds use blockchain networks for their record-keeping (what is known as "tokenization"). They are the first tokenized funds to receive authorization in the European Union. To understand why we believe tokenization represents the future of capital markets infrastructure, we invite you to read our series of articles on our blog.
Benefits of tokenization
- Spiko tokens are transferable 24/7, 365 days a year worldwide between our users.
- Users can, if they wish, hold their Spiko tokens in their own wallet or more generally in the wallet of their choice.
- Users and regulators can audit fund operations in real time.
We are currently developing new features that leverage this technology to further improve the experience of our users.
Your security is our priority
- Spiko funds are regulated funds open to the general public subject to French law and regulatory oversight. Their launch was authorized by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
- Spiko funds hold regulated financial assets (Treasury bills, total return swaps, basis strategies). The custodian bank continuously ensures compliance with each fund's fund mandate. Although the funds use blockchain networks as technical infrastructure, they have no direct exposure to crypto-assets (such as bitcoin or ether).
- If you do not use your own wallet, the use of blockchain networks is transparent to you and does not affect your user experience.
- In accordance with regulations, the funds retain administration rights over their tokens, ensuring that your tokens cannot be lost or stolen.
