Tokenizing

Existing shareholders like retail investors, institutions, and market makers can migrate shares from their existing brokerages or transfer agents into Superstate. Investors can find these instructions in the Documents section of the investor portal.

Shares arrive in book-entry form, and investors can tokenize them as soon as they have set up a compatible allowlist address from the portal For more information about the investor experience see Investors


Trading

As soon as decentralized exchanges are added for a token, trading can begin. Investors cannot trade directly on Superstate, but instead can find links to the supported decentralized exchanges from the investor portal.


Tracking

Superstate maintains an SEC-compliant shareholder registry across book-entry holdings, tokenized holdings, and integrated DeFi protocols. Navigate to the Issuance dashboard in the Superstate investor portal to view real-time data on the total number of tokenized shares, the number of shareholders, and to download reports.


Direct Issuance

A Direct Issuance Program allows SEC-registered public company to issue new shares directly to eligible investors through a transfer agent to raise capital. Superstate's digital transfer agent technology allows issuers to administer this program using real-time market prices, settled in stablecoins, and with real shares delivered as tokens directly to an investors onchain wallet.

Eligible retail and institutional investors can purchase newly issued shares directly from the issuer at or below the Nasdaq or NYSE price, with tokenized shares settling immediately in their wallets. These shares are recorded in the investor’s name and carry the same economic and governance rights as traditional shares, with the added utility of being usable across onchain applications where permitted.
