Public Crypto BLOG: Chainium - Global Decentralized Network to Buy & Sell Shares

Chainium is the platform to buy and sell shares. Business owners can sell equity in their businesses to raise capital and investors can buy and sell shares from businesses. You can see our prototype on our website. Like all good ideas, at its core our platform is really simple. Chainium allows business owners to sell equity in their business in return for capital from investors. We can offer this service free of charge to both business owners and investors because we keep our processes simple and use blockchain technology.

Chainium platform is already available as a prototype on our website. It provides solutions to the problem of raising capital for large enterprises and smaller businesses alike. We offer business owners access to the sophisticated tools and techniques of the listed markets for a fraction of the price. For investors we provide direct access to a huge range of equity offers previously only open to institutional investors, for zero fees.

We stand for any business that wants to raise capital to grow. We stand for any investor who wants to buy shares in businesses they believe in. That’s why we built Chainium. To connect businesses directly to investors, using blockchain. To make buying and selling shares easy.

Chainium Mission :

Disrupt the global equity market.

• No more stock exchanges
• No more trading through banks, brokers and intermediaries
• No more expensive fees

We’re reinventing the global equity market – completely disrupting the way businesses raise capital and the way investors buy and sell shares.

We’re democratising equity and bringing influence and power back to the individual investor through de-centralisation, blockchain technology and crypto payments which means our network is completely unconstrained by banks and other centralised organisations.

Ever since the credit crisis and banking collapse of 2008, there has been a troubling paradox in the financial industry. On one hand restrictions on lending have created an acute funding gap for business owners who cannot get access to the capital they require to fund their growth. Yet at the same time record low interest rates have left investors searching in vain for meaningful returns.

However, we actually see the opposite. Traditional shareholder engagement is decreasing in record numbers with fewer individual shareholders and fewer Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). In many economies the number of listed companies continues to decrease. In the US for example every year between 1996 and 2012 saw a decrease in the number of exchange-listed firms (8.000 to 4.100).1 Between 1980 and 2000, an average of 310 companies went public every year, but between 2001 and 2015 only 111 did.

The potential market is enormous but it is being failed by the incumbent legacy intermediary industry that currently controls the interface between investors and business owners. Chainium is offering a brand-new service for 99% of the companies in the world. We bridge the gap between the old and new economies by simplifying established processes (dividends, general meetings, shareholder communication) through the power of blockchain technology, allowing everyone to participate and have access to tools and markets that are currently only available to a select few.

The world problems that Chainium solves are :

Barriers to Capital Raising
Barriers to Investing
High Costs
Lack of Transparency
Loss of Control
Time Wasting

Like all good ideas, at its core our platform is really simple. Chainium allows business owners to sell equity in their business in return for capital from investors. We can offer this service free of charge to both business owners and investors because we keep our processes simple and use blockchain technology.

The clever bit is that business owners choose the terms on which they sell their equity and how actively they want to engage with their investors. A small family business could use Chainium to manage a simple private sale of an equity stake in order to ensure the sale is secure, legal and transparent.
