PEER-TO-PEER TRADING WITH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for facilitating complex transactions involving securities through the use of blockchain technology. A network-accessible management platform (also referred to as an “alternative trading system” or “ATS”) may be responsible for using a blockchain to efficiently and securely manage trades of securities. The network-accessible management platform can be communicatively coupled to a transfer agent module responsible managing the ownership of securities purchased by investors and/or a trading module responsible for receiving input indicative of requested purchases/sales of securities. The network-accessible management platform can facilitate transfers of securities from one investor to another investor without the fear of data loss or the high costs that are ordinarily imposed on securities transfers.
