Eight years building the infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization — while the rest of the industry was still deciding whether it mattered. 62 verified milestones. 7 eras. One continuous thesis.
Founded 2018 in Kyiv by Gene Deyev, Ross Shemeliak, and Borys Pikalov on a single conviction: the technology to tokenize real-world assets already existed — the legal, compliance, and distribution infrastructure to do it correctly did not.
Eight years later, that thesis reads as obvious. In 2018 it did not. This page is the record of what it took to be right before the market — 62 verified milestones across 7 eras, every one linked to a primary source.
Every term on this page — defined in plain language.
The process of creating a blockchain-based digital token that represents ownership, a claim, or economic rights in a physical or legal asset — real estate, private equity, debt instruments, commodities, funds, natural resources, aviation, or similar. Stobox has operated as a regulated RWA tokenization infrastructure provider since 2018.
A regulated capital-raising event in which an issuer sells tokenized securities to investors under applicable securities law. STOs differ from ICOs in that the resulting tokens are explicitly classified and structured as regulated securities and inherit investor protections, disclosure requirements, and transfer restrictions under law.
The fourth-generation end-to-end tokenization platform from Stobox Technologies. Officially introduced in September 2024 and hardened in Release 1.9 (July 2025). Stobox 4 handles issuance, investor onboarding, KYC/AML, cap table management, secondary trading, and compliance automation as a single white-labeled platform, powering every current Stobox client.
Stobox's on-chain compliance protocol unveiled in March 2025. STV3 enforces transfer restrictions, whitelists, jurisdiction blocklists, and lockup periods at the smart-contract level using the EIP-2535 Diamond Standard. Deployed on Arbitrum One, it is the compliance engine inside every Stobox 4 issuance.
An Ethereum Request for Comments standard for institutional real-world asset tokenization, co-founded by Stobox in September 2025. ERC-7943 defines a shared interface for compliant RWA tokens so that wallets, DEXes, custodians, and DeFi protocols that adopt the standard interoperate with any conforming token out of the box.
A legal category defined by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and adopted by the European Union's MiCA regulation. A VASP is an entity authorized to provide regulated digital asset services — exchange, custody, transfer, or issuance. Stobox secured its VASP license in Poland in November 2024 under MiCA.
The European Union regulation establishing the unified legal framework for digital asset service providers across all 27 EU member states. MiCA is the dominant European regulatory regime for crypto assets and digital securities. Stobox's Polish VASP license is passportable across the EU under MiCA.
Stobox's third proprietary product: a non-transferable on-chain identity credential that encodes KYC status, accreditation, and jurisdiction. Originally launched as Soulbound ID from the Success Summit main stage in Vietnam, April 2023. It powers compliant secondary trading of security tokens without exposing investor personal data on-chain.
Stobox's equity-backed digital asset representing direct ownership in the Stobox companies group. STBX launched in February 2026 following the 2023 corporate restructure that backed the token with real equity and the STBU→STBX migration that began in December 2025.
The leading Ethereum Layer-2 rollup, known for deep institutional DeFi liquidity. Stobox runs its STV3 Protocol and the bulk of its RWA infrastructure on Arbitrum One, expanded in January 2026.
The privacy-enabled institutional blockchain used by Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, DTCC, and Cboe Global Markets. Stobox partnered with Canton in March 2026 to bring Stobox-issued RWA tokens directly into the institutional DeFi layer.
Two licensed U.S. digital securities infrastructure providers Stobox partners with for regulated U.S. distribution and secondary trading. tZERO is one of the leading U.S. digital securities Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) — partnership announced March 2026. Silicon Prairie is a licensed U.S. broker-dealer and ATS for private securities — partnership announced April 2026.
