In 2020, our sister company, InvestaX, made a bold move that reshaped how we think about investing. They launched Project e-VCC, a groundbreaking experiment to bring one of Singapore’s most innovative fund structures—the Variable Capital Company (“VCC”)—onto the blockchain.
For those new to the idea, blockchain is a type of technology that works like a super-secure, digital ledger. It keeps records of transactions that everyone can trust, without needing a middleman. At the time, using blockchain for investments like funds was unheard of. InvestaX changed that by showing it wasn’t just possible—it was the future.
The goal of the project was simple but ambitious: could a fund, be created and managed entirely on a blockchain? And, if so, what would that look like for investors, fund managers, fund administrators, and regulators?
Here’s what they did:
These ideas were tested to see if blockchain could make investing easier, faster, and more transparent. Spoiler alert: it worked.
Traditionally, managing funds like a VCC is complicated, requiring extensive paperwork, substantial back end operations and significant man- hours to handle transactions, and it’s hard to buy or sell your fund shares quickly. Blockchain changed all that by making everything digital and cutting out the intermediaries.
InvestaX’s success with Project e-VCC was made possible through collaboration with industry leaders:
This team proved that using blockchain for funds wasn’t just a cool idea—it was practical and ready to use in the real world.
The project revealed some exciting things:
But it wasn’t all perfect. They also found challenges, like how taxes would work when trading these new digital fund shares.
Looking back, Project e-VCC was a turning point. It showed the world that blockchain could be more than just cryptocurrency—it could change how we invest in big ways. InvestaX didn’t just test an idea; that led the way for the entire fund’s management industry.
Today, we at IX Swap are building on what they started. While InvestaX pioneered the creation of digital investments, we’re focused on making it easier for people to trade them. Together, we’re transforming private markets and bringing new opportunities to investors everywhere.
From its inception in 2020, InvestaX has been a trailblazer in tokenization, quietly building the backbone for a new financial paradigm. Now, with $IXS as its platform utility token, the platform isn’t just evolving—it’s making a statement.
Look closer, and you’ll see the signs: strategic partnerships, powerful integrations, and a reputation that positions InvestaX as the go-to partner for the most forward-thinking players in the space. The decision to anchor its ecosystem on $IXS reflects more than utility—it signals alignment with the most promising and influential forces in blockchain.
What does this mean for the future? Imagine an ecosystem so interconnected that its token not only powers platforms but also sets the stage for greater adoption, deeper trust, and unparalleled access. While the details may speak for themselves, it’s hard not to wonder what lies ahead when InvestaX, with its proven track record, is poised at the intersection of innovation and opportunity.
This isn’t just tokenization—it’s the next frontier. And $IXS is leading the charge.
