Equibit solves a current equity market need by replacing an antiquated and expensive single-trust system with a peer-to-peer network. It exponentially increases openness and forces transparency on a system that is growing in popularity among investors and issuing companies. Integrating seamlessly with the original Bitcoin protocol also allows Equibit to more easily gain traction within an already robust community and to take advantage of the growing pool of capital. Overall, we believe that Equibit will greatly advance how companies distribute equity and handle their investor relations.
