For Investors

Security tokens

About digital securities

A security is a negotiable financial instrument that holds some type of monetary value. It represents either an ownership position (e.g. shares) in a company, a creditor relationship represented by owning a debt obligation, or rights to a share of the company’s future revenues/profits.

Invest in Pre-IPO companies

Companies on Red Matter sell shares and securities directly to investors, cutting out investment banks and Wall Street middlemen. Typically, early-stage investors are limited to VC’s, brokers and banks, with individual investors unable to access potentially valuable deals. Red Matter allows individual investors to directly invest in companies they believe in.

Difference between crowdfunding and purchasing a security

Crowdfunding typically raises financing for new businesses in exchange for a product or service to be delivered in the future. Securities issued for a project provide the means for investors to receive a share of the project’s financial success, either through shares in the company or a share of revenues/profits.

Equity, revenue share and debt securities

A Pre-IPO company may issue three types of financial securities: equity, revenue share and debt. An equity-based security provides the investor with a number of non-voting shares in the company that owns the project. A revenue share security grants the investor, rights to a percentage of revenues that the company receives. A debt security is a loan for a fixed term and interest percentage that the company commits to pay to the investor when the obligation becomes due. A Debt security may be represented as a fixed income note or a convertible note where the investor is able to convert the note to shares at the date of maturity. Each of the different security types are transferrable and sellable to other investors on Red Matter’ secondary market exchange.

Selling Pre-IPO securities on a DEX markets

An investor may sell securities to another investor on Red Matter’s Primary Market exchange. Transactions on the exchange are executed by Blockchain smart contracts that enable peer to peer transactions. Additionally, if the Pre-IPO company issued a synthetic token, an investor is able to convert the security token into a synthetic token and trade it on a supported Decentralized Exchange to obtain liquidity and earn commissions when staked in a pool.

Listed financial securities

Buying publicly listed assets such as stocks and commodities

There are no restrictions for purchasing financial assets on Red Matter unless the account holder is domiciled in an OFAC country. For orders exceeding USD 5,000, Red Matter will request additional information on your personal details including ID, proof of residency and address.

Placing orders

When a buy order for a stock or commodity is created and paid for, the buyer receives a booking confirming your purchase and a status field on your order. When the status changed to ‘Filled’, it indicates the order was processed, indicating that the order was accepted.

Trading securities

After an order is filled, digital securities are issued on a Blockchain smart contract that are backed by the stock/commodity which was purchased. The digital securities are pegged 1 to 1 against the assets purchased, allowing to easily trade them on decentralized exchanges or investors in the crypto community.

Paying for financial securities

For now, Red Matter accepts only LTC coin as a means of fast booking unless the investor proceeds to fund their account in advance with fiat.

LTC support for fast booking

Transfers on Blockchain smart contracts can be credited in seconds using crypto whereas fiat may take days to be received which makes the limit order price a buyer placed no longer valid by the time fiat is received. When Red Matter receives an LTC transfer, it converts to fiat, transfers the funds to the Red Matter broker account and executes the order within 1- 2 hours.

Funding an account with fiat

You can fund your trading account with fiat. Send an amount in Euro or USD that you wish to fund your account based on expected trades. Once received, the user may go to their dashboard to book an order and receive a trade confirmation within minutes.

Cashing out on financial securities

You can sell your financial securities by selling its security tokens on the Red Matter Primary Market Exchange. You can also place a cash out request to Red Matter as a Sell Order, subject to terms and conditions.

Synthetics, Decentralized Exchanges

The advantage with RMC Synthetics

RMC synthetics are different because they are fully backed by assets. Not only are synthetic prices protected against devaluation as result of the asset price creating a floor, they can also potentially earn money in more ways that traditional investments or non-asset backed tokens.

Here’s how:

1. Asset price gain: when staking the synthetic you actually buy the underlying asset to stake as a synthetic token. You can earn if the asset price increases. For example, if I bought Tesla stock and staked them, you can later unstake them to convert back into the Tesla security when the stock price increases.
2. Synthetic token price gain: the synthetic token may trade higher than the security price purchased by the liquidity provider, allowing the LP to unstake and sell a portion of synthetics (of course selling large amount of tokens may do the reverse to deflate the price)
3. Farm yields
4. Trading commissions: when staking synthetics in a pool, an LP earns a share of the trading commissions earned by the pool on DEX markets like Pancake Swap.

Finding a security backed synthetic token

Some digital securities on Red Matter have underlying smart contracts that can be converted 1 for 1 into a synthetic token that can be traded and staked on a secondary DEX market, such as Pancake Swap or Uniswap. Go to the tab ‘Synthetics’ to view all listed assets available on DEX markets.

How to buy synthetic tokens

You can buy by doing a Swap with crypto for the token on the RMC Synthetics page or on a DEX market like Pancake Swap.

Adding synthetics to a pool

Tokens are made available when investors purchase securities and stake them on the smart contract as synthetics. If you already own security tokens, got to your dashboard and Exchange tab to convert into Synthetics. Alternatively, from the RMC Synthetics page, click on the Liquidity tab for listed asset to convert securities into tokens and add them to the pool.

If you do not own the security, follow the steps outlined in the section ‘Listed Financial Securities’

Swapping tokens

Tokens are backed by digital securities (e.g. a stock) and are available for sale only in case there are sufficient digital securities to convert into Synthetic tokens, In case there are no securities in the pool, you will receive a notification that you are unable to conduct a Swap. In this case, you can add Synthetics yourself by following the steps outlined above to buy the security and converting them into Synthetics.

How synthetics are ‘asset protected’

Synthetic tokens are backed by underlying real assets that protect the value of tokens traded on DEX markets. For example, if you own Telsa stock and have digital security Tesla tokens, you can convert them into synthetic tokens that get traded on DEX markets. If the DEX market synthetic token price becomes lower than the security, you can sell the synthetic back into the security without incurring a loss on your original investment.

Pre-IPO securities on DEX markets

If you invested in a Pre-IPO company, your security tokens get liquidity when trading them on DEX markets where liquidity pools are staked by investors. If you invested in a publicly listed financial security, you can earn additional returns by trading the synthetic on a DEX market.
