KoreID Tackles Investor Fatigue by Making Forms Easy

New feature by KoreConX All-In-One Platform securely allows investors and shareholders to use the same credentials they have already entered through a compliant, permissioned-based blockchain. With KoreID, all information is provided as needed and only as authorized by the individual.

NEW YORK, September 9, 2022 (Newswire.com) – Investing online would be convenient if you didn’t have to fill out form after form with the same information every time. This is what KoreConX addresses as investor fatigue: it can be an issue to have all documents in hand, and retyping all information multiplies the risk of typos. The tedium and frustration often makes the individual give up in the middle of the process. For that reason, KoreConX is launching the KoreID on Sept. 21.

To be eligible to use KoreID, companies must show their SEC filings; broker-dealers, their CRD registration; banks and funding portals must be in good standing with FINRA. This allows the whole process to be seamless and compliant.

KoreConX provides the login interface embedded into the web pages that use the All-In-One Platform. When a user logs into any of these regulated portals, they’re actually creating for themselves a KoreID that is kept secure in KoreConX’s KoreChain, a permission-based blockchain.

Dr. Kiran Garimella, CTO of KoreConX All-In-One Platform, is proud of what the company has accomplished: “We have eliminated the time wasted filling and re-filling forms, and reduced the risk of typos. Investors can simply recall their already certified information with a single click.” The best part is there are no additional fees to use it.

How it works – wherever an individual sees the KoreID icon within the compliant KoreConX ecosystem – a company website, an SEC-Registered funding platform, a broker-dealer website, a bank – the regulated investment forms can be filled in almost instantaneously. All the information is only provided as needed and as authorized by the individual. Even though the investors may not recognize the icon at first, they will enter their email address. The regulated platform will automatically detect that the individual already has a KoreID. As soon as the email address is entered, it will automatically prompt them to log in using the KoreID. Then, they can enter their password and answer a security question to be logged in.

Regulated Issuance Platforms and Broker-Dealers Join the Conversation at KoreSummit Miami #14 February 2019

Speakers will discuss all things tokenization in a fireside chat format

[New York, NY – February 14, 2019] – How does an issuance platform work? Does a company need a broker-dealer in order to issue Security Tokens? How can Regulated Issuance Platforms influence the tokenization process?

These questions and more will be answered during the Regulated Issuance Platform / Broker-Dealer Fireside Chat at the KoreSummit. Hosted on February 20th at the heart of Miami, the event will bring together top thought-leaders in securities law, capital markets, secondary markets, investor relations, compliance, and marketing in the private company sector.

Instead of the usual Power-Point presentation, the KoreSummit will present Fireside Chats. The idea is to have conversations in an informal ambiance, in which ideas can be exchanged and the public can benefit from the discussion.

The Platform/Broker-Dealer Fireside Chat will count on five experts on the topic. Darren Marble, CEO at Issuance, James C. Row, Founder at Entoro Capital, Jason Futko, Co-Founder & CFO at KoreConX, Jonathan Self, CEO/COO at JumpStart Securities, and Natalie Ochrym, Co-Founder at Evoke.

“We are very proud to bring so many great minds together to discuss tokenization. The market is changing fast, and the future is tokenization,” said Jason Futko, Co-Founder & CFO at KoreConX.

“This panel promises to be a no-nonsense, straight to the point discussion around security tokens: why are issuers struggling to raise capital, what’s working, what’s not working, and where can we improve?” said Darren Marble.

“Is not always you have so many great minds coming together to share their knowledge in a complex topic such as tokenization of securities. I’m very proud to be part of this team,” Jonathan Self, CEO/COO at JumpStart Securities.

The koreSummit Miami will bring more than 30 speakers in an invitation-only, educational event broken down by all things pre, during and post tokenization. The goal is to bring together top thought-leaders in securities law, capital markets, secondary markets, investor relations, compliance, and marketing in the private company sector.

Legal Fireside Chat brings attorneys to debate securities at KoreSummit Miami #13 February 2019

The conversation will include Reg A+, Reg D and cross border transactions

[Miami, FL – February 13, 2019] – Following the success of the KoreSummit New York, KoreConX will bring even more experts to Miami on the second stop of the KoreSummit Global Tour. One of the main topics at the event will be the regulation involved in the issuance of a fully-compliant security token.

The same format used in New York will be used in Miami. Instead of each speaker presenting alone, the idea is to have conversations in a fireside chat format, in which ideas can be exchanged and the public can benefit from the conversation.

The event will count on seven attorneys with extensive knowledge on both securities and tokenization that will be sharing their insights with the audience. The guests will be able to attend two fireside chats on the topic. The first one will address the American regulation regarding securities, decisions implemented by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), as well as Reg A+, Reg D, and Reg CF. Drew Hinkes, General Counsel at Athena Blockchain will lead the conversation. The panelists include Greg Strong, attorney at DLx Law LLP,  Robin Sosnow, Principal at Jobs Act Lawyer and Simon Riveles, managing partner at the Digital Securities Law Group.

The second fireside chat will be dedicated to cross border transactions specifically involving companies raising capital. The discussion will be focused on how offerings differ when parties outside of the USA are involved. The panelists will be Anessa Santos, managing attorney at Intellilaw, Douglas Park, managing partner at Park & Dibadj LLP and Rajeev Dewan, partner at McMillan LLP.

“We carefully selected the attorneys who will be speaking at the event, and we couldn’t have got to a better group,” said Oscar Jofre, Co-Founder & CEO at KoreConX. “Each one of the speakers can provide valuable insights into the complex regulation surrounding Security Tokens in the US and globally.”

The koreSummit Miami will bring more than 30 speakers in an invitation-only, educational event broken down by all things pre, during and post tokenization. The goal is to bring together top thought-leaders in securities law, capital markets, secondary markets, investor relations, compliance, and marketing in the private company sector.

[New York, NY – 02 October, 2018] – KoreConX is excited to announce its Security Token Offering that will utilize its own KoreToken protocol.

The global securities marketplace is changing, and the future is tokenization. Combining corporate and securities law with tokenization facilitates efficient liquidity and fully-compliant transactions in multiple jurisdictions.

“We are thrilled about developing and launching KoreTokens on our KoreChain. KoreConX’s AI-enabled blockchain, based on Hyperledger Fabric and hosted at IBM, provides the highest level of security.

KoreConX Announces Membership in Hyperledger #26 September 2018

Revolutionizing Tokenized Securities with Hyperledger Fabric

[New York, NY – September 26, 2018] – KoreConX is excited to announce it is now a member of Hyperledger.

The future of global private securities and capital markets is in tokenization with a commitment to full compliance with securities regulation and corporate law. This requires a strong focus on safety, security, and investor protection.

“Such a serious endeavor requires serious technology. We find that private companies, investors, broker-dealers, and lawyers are most concerned about regulatory protections and wish to be fully compliant. They also want to steer clear of technologies that have no history, no credibility, and no adoption by major financial institutions. Hyperledger brings a community of proven professionals to create stable and credible solutions. We are proud to be members of Hyperledger,” said Oscar A. Jofre, CEO of KoreConX.

Hyperledger provides a true enterprise-class permissioned blockchain that does not commingle the economics of securities and other assets with that of cryptocurrency. This makes for a more focused and safer environment. Modularity, immediate finality, performance, and scalability are key features that influenced KoreConX’s adoption of Hyperledger Fabric.

“Security, especially in the financial services space, is one of the most compelling use cases for distributed ledger technologies,” said Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director, Hyperledger. “We welcome the expertise KoreConX brings to our community and look forward to seeing the ways they enhance and extend Hyperledger Fabric for their customers and the industry at large.”

The security and stability provided by Hyperledger Fabric are some of the key elements that allow the creation of the KoreToken, a fully-compliant security token.

“We are thrilled about developing and launching KoreTokens on our KoreChain. KoreConX’s AI-enabled blockchain is based on Hyperledger Fabric. Our security token protocol, called the KoreProtocol, handles the complete lifecycle of the security token, from issuance, secondary trading, and all types of corporate actions. Our task is made easier since Fabric handles, in a modular way, the core blockchain services such as cryptography, consensus, and the distributed ledger database,” said Dr. Kiran K. Garimella, KoreConX’s Chief Scientist and CTO.

KoreConX announces David Weild IV as the keynote speaker at the KoreSummit #25 September 2018

Considered the father of the JOBS Act, Weild is also a member of KoreConX Advisory Board

[New York, NY – September 25, 2018] – KoreConX is proud to announce David Weild IV as the keynote speaker at the KoreSummit to be held in New York on October 3. Weild joined the company’s Board of Advisors in June and is now one of the main figures in the first event about the KoreToken, a fully compliant security token developed by the organization.

Weild brings a unique expertise to the event, as he is considered the father of the JOBS Act. Weild’s co-authored studies have documented the long-term decline in equity capital formation in the United States and provided core arguments that gave rise to the JOBS Act that was signed by President Obama in April 2012.

Weild is also a former Vice Chairman and executive committee member of The NASDAQ Stock Market and spent several years running Wall Street investment banking and equity capital markets businesses. He is now dedicated to his own company, Weild & Co., in which he acts as CEO and Chairman.

“The importance of fully-compliant tokenized securities is becoming more and more evident in the financial markets,” said David Weild IV. “KoreConX takes that to a whole new level by incorporating regulatory compliance that manages the entire lifecycle of a security in multiple jurisdictions around the world. It is exciting to be part of a revolution that will improve access to capital and reduce costs for entrepreneurs.”

David was also recently asked to author a study for the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) entitled “Making Stock Markets Work to Support Economic Growth” and presented in April 2013 in draft form to the 35 member nations of the OECD, IOSCO and the European Commission.

“We are honored to have David Weild as part of the KoreConX journey in revolutionizing the global private company capital markets, his vast knowledge of the private capital markets formation is crucial to the overall success of our company,” said Oscar Jofre, co-founder and CEO of KoreConX.

Weild will be speaking at the KoreSummit New York. The event is free and invite-only. For more information about the KoreSummit, visit: https://koresummit.io/

Full Securities-Compliant Security Token Protocol #27 June 2018

A security token protocol “KoreToken” that keeps everyone compliant with securities laws in the US and Canada

New York, NY (June 27, 2018) – KoreConX, the first all-in-one business platform for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), released its KoreToken Protocol for security tokens — helping ensure compliance throughout the lifecycle of the security.

Security agencies, including the SEC in the USA and CSA in Canada, have made it clear that when companies are conducting a token offering where the token has the ability to trade and gain in value, it must be issued as a security token.

KoreToken is a Security Token Protocol that is designed to keep investors not only safe from theft, forking and transactional errors, but also keep them from violating the complex disclosure and reporting requirements in multiple jurisdictions. All of these capabilities are designed to identify and reduce the risk profile of tokenized securities.

“The marketplace needs a security token protocol that fully understands the life cycle of a security token and corporate actions,” said Oscar Jofre, co-founder and CEO of KoreConX.  “What the market has seen so far does not meet those requirements and issuers (companies) will once again run afoul with regulators. The implications for those involved could have severe consequences.”

The KoreToken security protocol is built on the foundational principle of safeguarding securities and protecting all the participants from both financial issues and regulatory issues. The protocol also provides the specifications for technical as well as legal closure for validity, consensus, and finality. The protocol is extensible with the use of APIs to collaborate with validated and registered partners.

“A token is a digital asset, where I give you my money and you go off and make a venture, and in return for giving you my money I say ‘you can get a return’ that is a security and we regulate that,” Jay Clayton, SEC Chairman said. “We regulate the offering of that security and regulate the trading of that security.”

A security token protocol is not just about ID verification, AML or investor verification. And, It’s not just about compliance during the trading process. These are necessary but not sufficient. The issuer (or their agent, such as a broker dealer or transfer agent) needs to account for jurisdiction, exemption, reporting, security token holder rights, custodianship, trading, reporting and corporate actions. This the only way a company can issue and manage a security token without falling out with the regulators.

“Most of the rebranding of utility tokens to security tokens address securities regulation only superficially as a superficially to appease the regulators to the regulators,” said Dr. Kiran Garimella, chief scientist and chief technology officer of KoreConX. “The fundamental issues of safety, security, and risk must be addressed. Moreover, these are not one-time problems. They exist throughout the life of the security. The technical infrastructure to make all this happen is non-trivial and calls for very serious, enterprise-class engineering.”

Security tokens that use the KoreToken protocol, including the KoreConX’s own KoreToken, run on the KoreChain, which is a permissioned blockchain that is built on Hyperledger Fabric and hosted on IBM servers with the highest level of security. KoreChain’s built in AI technology will enable machine-learning and data-analytic services for transactions. Finally, KoreChain will use AI to augment its native governance, risk, and compliance capabilities.

KoreConX Adopts Hyperledger Fabric for the Financial Services Market #21 June 2018

A blockchain that can support, manage, track and keep all stakeholders compliant within regulated financial markets

New York, NY (June 21, 2018) – KoreConX, the first all-in-one business platform for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), today announced the adoption of Hyperledger Fabric as the foundation for its blockchain platform helping SME’s issue fully compliant security tokens.  

KoreConX’s new KoreChain, is the first all-in-one decentralized permission-based blockchain platform for private companies to manage company records and capital market activities including: fundraising, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and investments. Adoption of Hyperledger Fabric offers an added layer of safety and security that regulated companies in financial sector need for blockchain applications.

“Hyperledger Fabric has been engineered from the ground up to address the requirements of security, safety and interoperability in large enterprise-class systems,” said Dr. Kiran Garimella, chief scientist and chief technology officer of KoreConX. “Fabric’s modular architecture allows us to implement real-time adaptability for various architectural elements of our KoreChain. This flexibility is vital given the enormous complexity of securities.”

Unlike other blockchain technologies, the modular architecture of Fabric maximizes safety, resilience and flexibility specific to financial services with features including:

  • Permissioned membership for ensuring data protection, know your client (KYC) and regulated custodianship of tokenized securities
  • End-to-end encryption to protect transactions
  • Multiple channels to ensure confidentiality between various participants
  • Modular architecture for identity management, consensus, policy services and crypto abstraction
  • APIs for interfaces between applications from ecosystem clients

“This will change the way private capital markets issue security tokens. Hyperledger Fabric was the clear choice to provide safety and security for the highly regulated financial markets,” said Oscar Jofre, co-founder and CEO of KoreConX.
