Citi lets clients invest in private companies via a blockchain

The service is an alternative to an IPO or a special-purpose vehicle, the bank says.

  • Citi has launched a new service called Digital Depositary Receipts, allowing institutional and wealthy clients to invest in tokenized shares of private companies on a blockchain.
  • This service aims to provide private companies with an alternative to IPOs for raising capital and offers investors improved liquidity and access to private market equity.
  • The initiative leverages blockchain technology for faster settlement and ownership transfer, with Citi acting as a custodian and aiming for broader industry participation.
