NEW YORK - June 9, 2025 - Fairmint, the leading onchain securities platform, announced that it has surpassed $1 billion in equity administered onchain, marking a major milestone in the transformation of private-market infrastructure.
The achievement signals a growing shift from spreadsheets and legacy systems to programmable, blockchain-based cap tables. Fairmint’s infrastructure gives founders real-time ownership tracking, automated compliance, and instant settlement capabilities that are difficult to achieve with traditional equity-management systems.
“Cap tables are the foundation of every company’s equity structure,” said Joris Delanoue, CEO of Fairmint. “Moving them onchain isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about making equity programmable.”
From Spreadsheets to Smart Contracts
Cap tables have long been managed through fragmented spreadsheets and siloed databases, leading to delays, errors, and compliance risks. Fairmint’s onchain infrastructure offers an upgrade:
- real-time synchronization
- immutable audit trails
- programmable compliance
- seamless investor onboarding
The platform also lays the groundwork for regulated DeFi, unlocking new possibilities such as collateralized shares, programmable transfers, and more composable financial workflows.
“We’re witnessing the biggest upgrade to equity infrastructure in decades,” Delanoue added. “Every company will eventually move onchain. The only question is whether they’ll lead or lag behind.”
A $6 Trillion Market Ready for Change
Fairmint’s milestone arrives in the context of a $6 trillion private-securities market still constrained by web2-era workflows. Analysts project that onchain infrastructure can unlock significant efficiency gains across issuance, compliance, and settlement.
The milestone was achieved thanks in part to the Open Cap Table Protocol, an open-source infrastructure standard initiated by Fairmint and detailed in its whitepaper. OCP enables any company or SEC-registered transfer agent to migrate cap tables onchain while maintaining regulatory compliance.
