NEW YORK - May 9, 2025 - Fairmint, Inc., a registered SEC transfer agent, announced the launch of its enterprise-grade digital infrastructure for cap-table management and private-securities administration.
The system provides private companies with a comprehensive onchain platform for equity issuance, ownership verification, and compliant transfer of private securities.
The launch coincided with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce’s framework announcement outlining potential pathways for regulated entities to leverage distributed-ledger technology in securities markets.
“After extensive development and regulatory engagement, Fairmint has created an onchain equity infrastructure designed to address the significant operational inefficiencies in private markets,” said Joris Delanoue, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fairmint.
Addressing Market Inefficiencies
The private-securities market continues to operate through fragmented systems and manual processes that increase operational risk and constrain liquidity. Fairmint’s infrastructure addresses those issues through:
- standardized onchain infrastructure using programmable smart contracts
- faster settlement while maintaining auditability
- institutional controls with role-based permissions
- regulatory integration through programmatic enforcement of transfer restrictions
“The technology implemented by Fairmint delivers immediate operational benefits to market participants while establishing a foundation for potential future market developments,” said Thibauld Favre, co-founder and Chief Technical Officer.
Regulatory Framework Alignment
Fairmint’s infrastructure aligns with Commissioner Peirce’s proposed framework for enabling firms to deploy new products and services in a streamlined fashion while maintaining compliance with market-integrity requirements.
Operating as a registered SEC transfer agent since 2023, Fairmint is also pursuing broker-dealer licensing to expand its service offering within regulated securities markets.
