Finstreet launches regulated securities market and a 360-degree, end-to-end ecosystem
Finstreet Limited, an IHC Group company through Rorix Holdings, has officially launched its subsidiaries that operate a first-of-its-kind international securities market infrastructure at Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), ADGM’s flagship financial event. The launch follows the receipt of necessary licenses from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM, and also includes welcoming institutional investors to register from today to access this regulated market for securities.
Through its regulated subsidiaries — Finstreet Global Markets Ltd, Finstreet Capital Ltd, and Finstreet Global Clearing and Settlement Ltd—Finstreet offers a comprehensive suite of services, including a Multi-Lateral Trading Facility (MTF), Central Securities Depository (CSD), Digital Settlement Facility (DSF), and Private Financing Platform (PFP). Unveiled during a bell-ringing ceremony at ADFW, these solutions seamlessly bridge primary and secondary markets, enabling access to private digital securities. The new market empowers private company shareholders with liquidity options while also facilitating direct market trading, unlocking alternative investment opportunities tailored for professional investors.
