Primary features
The ADDX platform is a fully regulated digital securities exchange founded in 2017 as iSTOX, backed by Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Temasek — using blockchain and smart contract technology to tokenize and fractionalise private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, private debt, real estate, and structured notes for accredited investors across 27 countries. By automating the entire securities lifecycle on-chain, the ADDX platform reduces minimum investment thresholds from the institutional standard of $1M+ down to as low as $10,000 — and compresses settlement from two business days to near-instant.
- Private Market Tokenization — PE, VC, hedge funds, private debt, REITs, and DBS structured notes all tokenized on-chain.
- Licensed Secondary Exchange — Regulated marketplace for secondary trading of digital securities among accredited investors.
- White-Label Tokenization — Institutional API and infrastructure for banks and financial firms to issue their own digital securities.
- Crypto-Inclusive Onboarding — BTC, ETH, and USDC recognized as qualifying net assets for accredited investor status.
In short, the ADDX platform gives accredited investors access to private capital markets that were historically locked behind million-dollar minimums, while giving issuers a faster, cheaper, and broader distribution channel for raising capital.
Blockchain Settlement

User benefits
The ADDX platform allows accredited investors to access the world's most sought-after private market funds — including Partners Group, Hamilton Lane, and Temasek-backed vehicles — at fractions of the institutional minimum, with the added benefit of a regulated secondary market for liquidity. The ADDX security features operate under direct MAS oversight with DBS Bank custody, providing institutional-grade safeguards for every tokenized asset on the platform.
- Minimum investment thresholds as low as $10,000–$20,000 unlock private equity and structured products previously requiring $1M+ commitments.
- Near-instant blockchain settlement eliminates multi-day counterparty risk inherent in traditional private securities transfers.
- The regulated secondary exchange enables investors to exit positions without waiting for fund maturity — addressing private market illiquidity directly.
- Crypto asset recognition for onboarding allows digital asset holders to qualify as accredited investors using BTC, ETH, and USDC holdings.
- White-label tokenization infrastructure lets banks and wealth managers launch their own digital asset distribution capabilities without building proprietary systems.
Overall, the ADDX platform — backed by SGX, Temasek, Development Bank of Japan, and MUFG — exists to democratize the $8 trillion private markets universe by making its highest-performing asset classes accessible, liquid, and operationally seamless for the global accredited investor community.
