History

In 2015 the World Bank issued a $5 million security-token bond on Ethereum with ConsenSys, cleared by the SEC, marking the first large-scale regulated token offering. The 2012 JOBS Act and JPMorgan’s 2016 Quorum blockchain experiment later opened capital markets to tokenized equity, paving the way for Janus Henderson’s 2024 Stellar-based JQQQ fund licensed by Nasdaq.
