Crypto Securities Register (eWpG License)

The future of securities management – digital, secure, and efficient.

The digital age requires innovative solutions for the capital market. With the ecrop Crypto Securities Register, you can manage digital securities efficiently, securely, and in full compliance with the eWpG. Our platform is based on a Private Permissioned Blockchain with integrated Hyperledger Besu and offers you maximum transparency, security, and control over your securities.

The challenges of the traditional securities market:

• High Costs: Manual processes are time-consuming and therefore cost-intensive.

• Inefficiency and Lack of Transparency: Long settlement times, lack of real-time transparency, and missing traceability complicate processing and lead to uncertainties.

• Security Risks: Physical documents and analog processes are susceptible to loss, theft, forgery, and manipulation.

• Compliance Challenges: Maintaining compliance with ever-growing regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and requires specialized expertise.
