Marechale Capital plc
("Marechale" or the "Company")
Blubird Launches Its 2nd Generation Tokenization & Digital Ecosystem
Marechale Capital plc, the AIM-quoted digital merchant bank, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Blubird Global Inc. ("Blubird"), has launched its second-generation Tokenization Platform, Digital Asset Registry and Marketplace (the "Platform").
The Platform unifies tokenised assets with their designated legal contracts for the life of the asset, a fundamental development in increasing token adoption, risk mitigation and ownership security for its current and future clients
A token in an investor's wallet does not typically hold the authoritative record of ownership of its corresponding asset. That record sits in an off-chain register, with the legal documents held separately in a data room. Crucially, the register takes precedence when conflict arises. This is the problem the Platform now solves, giving asset owners the token itself rather than a mere receipt.
The Platform creates a new digital asset registry and marketplace where tokenized assets are issued together with the legal contracts that govern them, so the token and the legal asset move as one from issuance through every transfer. The Platform removes the need for clients to use separate tools to achieve issuance, record keeping, and distribution, making Tokenisation more secure, accessible and verifiable.
The Platform is now available for deployment across more than 25 asset classes, including real estate, and renewable energy, infrastructure and natural capital assets.
Key benefits of the Platform:
· Digital Registry: clients have a single, authoritative record of ownership and legal terms, rather than a token on one side and a data room on the other;
· Ricardian Contracts1: clients receive a legal agreement and its on-chain enforcement as a single, inseparable record, removing the ambiguity of code that is not legally binding and paperwork that is not reflected on-chain;
· Signing Ceremonies & Chain of Title: clients always have a current, watertight legal record of who owns what, without fragmented signing processes;
· Independently Verifiable Records: clients hold tamper-evident proof of exactly what was signed, by whom, and when: evidence that can be verified by external auditors and counsel;
· Chain-Agnostic, Standards-Based Deployment: clients are no longer locked into a proprietary token format; the registry is Blubird's, the standards are the markets; and
· Issuer-Branded Marketplace: clients get issuance, record-keeping, and distribution in one system rather than stitching together separate tools, and investor eligibility travels with the instrument.
1 A Ricardian contract is a single digital document that acts as both a legal agreement readable by people and a formal program readable by software.
Patrick Booth-Clibborn, Chief Executive Officer of Marechale Capital plc. commented:
"We are delighted to see the much-anticipated launch of Blubird's next-generation proprietary tokenization platform, which we believe is the first platform to unify tokenized assets, legal contracts, and chain of title at such scale. Revolutionising so many asset classes and chains through one platform marks a significant evolution of both the business and the industry.
"Blubird's innovative approach reimagines tokenization by ensuring that the token and the underlying legal asset are created simultaneously, are governed by a clear and robust legal framework, and remain intrinsically linked throughout the asset's lifecycle. This breakthrough has the potential to further strengthen Blubird's market-leading position and to set a new standard for the industry."
