FAQ: iMOD Trade & Investment Company Limited

The Co-founders had been granted a glimpse of the massive potential of DLT with the rise of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. We believe that we are only at the beginning, and that DLT will be increasingly used for a wide range of financial services applications including the tokenization of financial assets, physical assets, and over time, anything of value.

iMOD Trade Ltd was founded to connect today’s high potential, but largely unregulated digital asset industry to the regulated world of traditional finance. Weaving together these two realities will help accelerate institutional adoption of digital assets. And this will make markets more efficient and transparent - and create a world where people can have more control, freedom and trust - and ultimately more direct access to value.

Our mission is to empower everyone with direct access to ownership and value.

The decision to seek regulatory compliance in Switzerland and Singapore is first and foremost a strategic one, as the two countries are globally recognised as established and trusted banking hubs. Both jurisdictions have set stringent standards for the financial institutions operating within them, and these standards are a mark of credibility which is particularly critical in this frontier space of digital assets.

Switzerland is representative of stellar banking heritage and emblematic of the quality and trust that Swiss banks command globally. While Singapore, as a hub of fintech and innovation, forms the ideal base to pursue growth opportunities in Asia. It is the combination of these two strategic locations that will set the platform for iMOD Trade & Investment Company ltd future growth.

Blockchain/DLT allows the creation of new forms of digital information, which has the same access and transfer functionality as a property right: the token. The token allows an efficient interaction between ecosystem participants which reduces transaction costs and balance sheet exposure.

This means iMOD Trade & Investment Company Ltd can test and launch new services as opportunities arise, scale up projects at speed and provide Digital banking experiences that are intuitive and cutting edge.

Through this network of partnerships, we can deliver ambitious projects, operate globally at scale, and pioneer new DLT standards for financial services.

We appreciate the transformative power and usefulness of DLT. But decentralisation is not a panacea. On one hand, rules and regulations have been put in place for a reason – in most cases to protect the investor. This must continue. On the other hand, DLT is a trust and security engine that provides a great degree of control. Because of this, certain rules may become redundant, but not all of them.

Because we believe we are in a period of consolidation and transition, we seek to both maintain and uphold high regulatory standards and support their evolution as they embrace digital assets. Future has heritage.
