Collaboration in the Swiss blockchain ecosystem
The partnership between SDX and CV VC aims to foster emerging companies by providing them access to SDX's digital private equity ecosystem. This ecosystem connects startups with partner financial institutions and, according to the digital exchange, offers optimized financing solutions, improved automation, and transparency. By becoming issuers within the SDX ecosystem, blockchain startups can enhance their appeal to institutional investors through the use of traceable tokenized assets.
"With CV VC’s pivotal role in the Swiss startup ecosystem as the leading blockchain-focused VC, we at SDX are looking forward to harnessing the power of blockchain technology to drive the digital transformation of private markets." - David Newns, Head of SIX Digital Exchange (SDX)
Olaf Hannemann, Co-founder of CV VC, also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. His company is excited to support SDX in its mission to create a flourishing Swiss ecosystem for digital market infrastructure. Both parties believe that the current financial market infrastructure, both in Switzerland and globally, is primarily optimized for public companies. However, they see abundant opportunities in the private equity markets.
"Like SDX, CV VC believes that the financial market infrastructure, in Switzerland and beyond, is presently optimized for public companies, yet there are plenty of opportunities in private equity markets. We look forward to supporting SDX in their mission to co-shape a growing and vibrant Swiss Digital Market Infrastructure Ecosystem." - Olaf Hannemann, Co-founder of CV VC
