With heartstocks, all types of assets can be made investable with the help of participation certificates. At the same time, heartstocks has created a new, more efficient way of structuring financial products.  A corporation is founded around an asset and tokenized (mapped via a blockchain). Subsequently, investors can buy shares of this AG as a digital shares (participation certificate) and trade them on the regulated heartstocks secondary market. In this way, investors gain the opportunity to participate in potential increases in the value of assets to which access was previously not possible.

With the help of blockchain technology, heartstocks digitally map the share register. Transactions within public companies can be made with the click of a button, without the constant integration of intermediaries. This form of digitized stock market is significantly more efficient compared to traditional processes. For issuers (such as product providers, family offices, asset managers, but also end investors), tokenization represents a new form of equity raising, and along with it an alternative to traditional debt financing and IPOs.
