Citi and SDX Pioneer Tokenized IPOs, Bridging Crypto Presales to Traditional Equities
Citi and SDX Pioneer Tokenized IPOs, Bridging Crypto Presales to Traditional Equities

Finance giant Citi has partnered with Switzerland’s SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) to tokenize shares of pre-IPO equities, mirroring the crypto presale model. Institutional investors will gain early access to tokenized shares of late-stage companies before public listing—a structural shift blending decentralized finance mechanics with traditional capital markets.
The initiative signals growing institutional acceptance of crypto-native mechanisms. Presales, common in decentralized projects, allow investors to acquire tokens at basement prices before exchange listings. By applying this model to equities, Citi and SDX are testing a hybrid approach that could democratize access to pre-IPO opportunities historically reserved for elite funds.
