By converting existing equities and bonds into securitised crypto-tokens (Crypto Depository Receipts โ CDRs), CDRX is allowing anyone to invest in financial markets, and buy a piece of any company with as little or as much money as they can afford.
Buy an Apple CDR, you have the legal right to an Apple stock, including dividends, voting and all other shareholder rights. Buy 1/50 of an Apple CDR, and receive 1/50 of the rights. Tokenisation allows fractional ownership, lowers costs and shortens transaction times.
Each CDR token gives the owner the legal right to the underlying stock or bond, which is held by an independent depository bank/trust on behalf of you, the token owner.
CDRX is also building an institutional grade platform that operates 24/7 to allow you to trade both non-securitised tokens (eg. cryptocurrencies and utility tokens) and securitised tokens (eg. CDRs) safely and easily.
