Netcapital Announces Launch of Beta Version for Secondary Trading Platform
Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) has launched a beta version of its secondary trading platform to a closed group of users. This platform, developed through a partnership with Templum Markets , aims to provide potential secondary trading opportunities for investors who purchase stock through Netcapital's funding portal. Templum operates an alternative trading system (ATS) approved in 53 U.S. states and territories for trading private securities.
Netcapital plans to offer secondary trading capability through Templum ATS to all its issuers and investors by the end of 2024. However, the launch is subject to regulatory approval and oversight. CEO Martin Kay emphasized that this feature addresses the lack of liquidity in private company investments, potentially giving Netcapital a competitive edge in the digital private markets landscape.
- Launch of beta version for secondary trading platform
- Partnership with Templum Markets for alternative trading system
- Potential to provide liquidity for private company investments
- Planned expansion of secondary trading capability to all Netcapital issuers and investors by end of 2024
- Secondary trading platform launch subject to extensive regulation and potential delays
- Regulatory objections may prevent the launch of the proposed platform
“This is an important milestone for Netcapital,” said Martin Kay, CEO of Netcapital Inc. “Lack of liquidity is a key issue for investors in private companies in our targeted market, and we believe this capability represents a strong competitive advantage and a key differentiator for Netcapital within the digital private markets landscape.”
