Cashlink and FinPlanet create a joint offering:

Regulated financial institutions will now benefit from the combined expertise of leading infrastructure and many years of consulting experience

● Cashlink and the consulting firm FinPlanet are entering into a strategic partnership to support regulated financial institutions not only by providing tokenization solutions, but also in developing a market entry strategy, developing a target operating model and implementing the new product process.

● The joint offer is aimed at regulated financial institutions that want to approach the topic of tokenization strategically or have already successfully completed PoCs and are thinking about developing a scalable solution.

Munich, 12.10.23.

Cashlink, provider of the leading infrastructure for tokenized assets and crypto securities registry administrator with preliminary permission under eWpG, is entering into a strategic partnership with FinPlanet, a consulting firm specialized in digital assets and regulation for financial institutions and FinTechs. Thanks to the combined expertise, banks, securities institutions and asset managers will benefit from a coordinated 360-degree solution comprising IT and consulting.

Michael Duttlinger, CEO and co-founder of Cashlink, says: “With FinPlanet, we want to meet the demand of our customers, who, in addition to our IT solution, often need a great deal of advice in the area of tokenization. Not every consulting firm is suitable for this. With FinPlanet, we have a strong partner at our side who has already implemented many tokenization projects for larger financial institutions. The team comes from practice and has built blockchain-based business models in senior positions. These are experiences that we want to share with our customers from now on. ”

Sebastian Liebscher, Managing Director and Co-Founder of FinPlanet, is also certain: “Projects must ultimately be successful from the customer's point of view. Unfortunately, many players often make the mistake of providing too few resources for the analysis and conception phase. It is precisely this phase that is decisive for the subsequent success of the project. Cashlink customers have to meet high regulatory requirements. The larger the institution, the greater are potential reputation risks or other risks that may be associated with the development of new blockchain-based business areas. With Cashlink's innovative product range and FinPlanet's experience, customers can positively influence project success. ”

The offer is aimed in particular at financial service providers who are active in the area of asset structuring & asset servicing and, for example, want to set up funds, bonds or structured products in accordance with the eWpG or KryptoFAV.

The use of distributed ledger technology, smart contracts & tokenization has the potential to redistribute existing value chains and roles in the financial market. Many players have recognized this opportunity and are already positioning themselves. The first major lighthouse projects were carried out, for example, by Bankhaus Metzler and Siemens AG.

In addition to the joint customer offering, Cashlink and FinPlanet are also planning to publish studies and white papers in the near future. The aim is to ensure further transparency in the area of tokenization and thus give financial institutions a basis for strategic decision-making.
