Blockstation About

Updated

Blockstation develops software for stock exchanges and their broker, depository, issuer and regulator networks. Its platform supports the listing, trading, clearing and settlement of digital assets and tokenized securities within an exchange’s local market framework. The company lists a New York contact office and serves institutions across several jurisdictions.

Market infrastructure

The platform combines an order-matching system, participant portals and APIs with depository tools for key management and settlement. Its Prospectus+ Smart Listing Accelerator Portal supports issuer preparation and the lifecycle of tokenized offerings. ChainWatch provides transaction tracing and anti-money-laundering screening tools for participating institutions.

These are technology services. A customer exchange’s authorization, investor eligibility rules and asset admission requirements remain specific to that market; supplying compliance tools does not itself establish that Blockstation holds a financial-services licence in every jurisdiction.

Institutional projects

Blockstation identifies the Jamaica Stock Exchange, Barbados Stock Exchange, Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange and Nigeria’s NASD OTC Securities Exchange among its institutional partners. Its company updates describe the NASD Digital Securities Platform becoming operational in 2026. Partnership announcements and pilots should be distinguished from the availability of a particular security or investment to an individual customer.

Leadership and publications

Co-founder Jai Waterman became CEO in August 2022 after co-founder Marko M. Hafez stepped down as CEO, according to the company’s succession announcement. Its current team spans executive leadership, finance, technology, marketing, design, communications and human resources.

Published material includes analysis of investor exit routes and carbon-market white papers developed with the Arab Federation of Capital Markets. These publications present the authors’ policy and commercial arguments; they do not guarantee liquidity, returns or regulatory approval. Institutions can request a demonstration through the official contact page.
