The software company connecting and enabling the digital asset ecosystem.
Vertalo is a software company — not a broker-dealer or consultancy — founded in 2017 and issuing natively on-chain since tokenizing its own equity in March 2018. An SEC-registered transfer agent since 2019, we give issuers, asset managers, and transfer agents a secure, cost-effective path to tokenization, integrated into their systems without becoming another intermediary.
Backed across crypto, venture, and capital markets.
Vertalo is supported by strategic and institutional investors spanning the digital-asset, venture, and traditional-finance worlds.
