What is a Listing?

A listing is the process of making a company's securities available for trading. There are two types of listing typically - public market and private market listing.

Listing on a public market is typically in the form of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). This provides companies access to a broad investor base and enhances their visibility. Public listings usually come with extensive regulatory requirements, ongoing disclosure obligations, and significant costs.

Listing on a private market involves registering a company's securities on a regulated platform. Private listing offers companies flexibility, control, a streamlined and cost-effective way to access liquidity and a broader investor pool.

Harnessing Blockchain For Global Liquidity

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain is a form of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that stores transaction data into blocks. These blocks will be added to a chain, where the data it stores cannot be altered or deleted. This ensures both data integrity and security.

Why is Blockchain used for Capital Markets?

Blockchain’s decentralized nature makes it ideal for capital markets, enabling tracking of ownership and transactions.

1X leverages this technology to offer a transparent, secure, and efficient way for users to access global liquidity, while maintaining the integrity of financial systems.

Tapping on Ethereum

Ethereum is the most mature blockchain with over 295 million users and the largest ecosystem of tokenized assets.
