Citi , Switzerland’s SDX Join Forces to Tokenize $75B Pre-IPO Shares Market

  • Citi and Switzerland’s SIX Digital Exchange announced a partnership today to tokenize and custody $75 billion in late-stage, pre-IPO shares on SDX’s blockchain-based platform.
  • They formed this collaboration due to the private markets’ manual, paper-heavy processes and aim to introduce a scalable, compliant digital solution launching in Q3 2025.
  • Citi will serve as custodian and tokenization agent using SDX’s regulated Central Securities Depository infrastructure, enabling better liquidity management and ownership tracking for investors and issuers.
  • Marni McManus explained that their collaboration with SDX aims to streamline and modernize an industry that is currently reliant on manual processes and physical paperwork, while CEO David Newns emphasized Switzerland’s well-established regulatory framework, which has supported their operations since 2021.
  • This initiative reflects Citi’s strategy to advance digital asset markets globally and may improve access to private shares for institutional clients across Europe and Asia via partners like Sygnum and SBI Digital Markets.
