Shojin Financial Services In Talks With Smartlands Platform Over Merge

LONDON - April 4, 2019 - PRLog -- London, March 18th, 2019 - Shojin Financial Services, an FCA-regulated property investment company based in London, announced that it is in talks with Smartlands, a security token issuance platform over a merger. The announcement was made at the Money20/20 Asia summit in Singapore in March.  The new partnership will allow qualified retail and institutional investors from around the world easy access to investment projects on the Smartlands Platform via cryptocurrency or fiat (Sterling, US Dollar or Euro).

"The move makes Smartlands one of the first fully regulated platforms for the issuance of security tokens," said Arnoldas Nauseda, CEO of Smartlands Platform, continuing: "Our first Security Token Offering is already underway on our platform. The private sale is ongoing, and the public one will commence in early May.

Currently, Shojin Financial Services, trading as Shojin Property Partners, offers investors the opportunity to invest in the UK property market through its crowdfunding platform whose primary benefit is the ability to invest in fractional ownership across the entire property sector.

As well as listing on its own platform, Shojin Property Partners will now also provide property investment opportunities on the Smartlands platform.  It is intended that by issuing tokens, in time the tokens can be traded on a secondary exchange bringing considerable liquidity to the market.

"It is now apparent that the future of investing is in tokenisation of real estate and other hitherto illiquid asset classes. Now all our clients can move towards investing on the blockchain-based Smartlands Platform, which makes subsequent trades on the open market fast, cheap, secure, and transparent" said Jatin Ondhia, CEO of Shojin Property Partners.

Viktor Krekotin, Smartlands Strategy Adviser, said: "The introduction of this technology is huge progress for the property space, a sector traditionally known for being a slow-moving machine. Our ultimate plan is to create an investment marketplace where investors can buy, sell and trade alternative investment products in a digital tokenised form."

The Shojin-Smartlands partnership will bring tremendous benefits to investors. Shojin will contribute their expertise, knowledge, experience and high competence on real estate selection, assessment and asset management, while Smartlands provides technology, digital infrastructure, marketing and full customer support, which will make the entire experience smooth, safe, secure, transparent and ready for mass-market adoption.
