Nivaura is a U.K.-based blockchain company that has also delivered solutions to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Singapore’s DBX Bank. Fineqia is a shareholder in Nivaura Ltd and signed the agreement in Feb. 2021 to purchase the software on an exclusive perpetual royalty free licence basis. The transfer of the IP was undertaken over the past few months and completed this month.
The platform incorporates vital functionalities such as price discovery, subscriptions, redemptions, risk management, marketing, back-office processes, and the scheduling of transactions. The platform can connect to the Ethereum blockchain to interact and execute smart contracts to record transaction details.
“IP ownership enables us to potentially do more in both TradFi (traditional finance) and the decentralized web 3.0,” said Fineqia’s CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar. “With a proprietary platform, we get more flexibility to change to rapidly evolving market requirements.”
