Tezos was among the first blockchains to integrate a proof-of-stake consensus system in 2018. Tezos has its foundation located in Switzerland, similar to other public blockchain foundations.
Crypto Finance acts as the provider of the infrastructure on the project while InCore Bank carries out tokenization. The Bank would use the new ‘DAR’ standard of 1 token on Tezos built by Inacta.
According to Stijn Vander Straeten, Swiss regulators are not far from issuing approval to the first tokenized product on Tezos.
Stijn Vander Straeten is the CEO of Crypto Finance (Infrastructure Services) AG in the Crypto Finance Group.
Before joining the firm, Stijn worked for a fintech bank in Zug as the CEO. He has thirteen years of experience in the banking, wealth, and asset management sectors, holding various positions in senior management.
