What is NYALA?

NYALA is a tokenization platform that covers the full lifecycle of digital assets, from issuance and distribution to trading and interests payouts. It is licensed to issue fully regulated tokenized securities in the European Union such as bonds or fund units.

Thanks to tokenization, previous illiquid and hard-to-access asset classes are made accessible to a wide variety of investors. NYALA's tokenization engine is accessible via a proprietary app, or via API.

Furthermore, NYALA's secondary market back-end engine connects investment platforms to a trading ecosystem, unlocking a secondary market with instant settlement on-chain.

NYALA is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.

large volume tokenization for digitized and cost-efficient issuance

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When working with financial issuers looking for innovative solutions, I always refer to the team of NYALA. They always impress me with their expertise in tokenization, have the longest experience in this new business sector and can provide excellent advice. In my experience, they convince with the maximum digitization of the entire tokenization process, which also entails the subscription process. And, in my opinion, compared to traditional providers, they save significantly in fees.

Pros

  • The strong legal team understands the implications of the tech and successfully helps navigating regulations in different geographies.
  • Combination of online platform and API integration for maximum user experience.
  • Pioneering the digitalization of the financial industry and shaping regulatory decision making.

Cons

  • There is still a lack of a secondary market for the tokenized securities. Fortnuately, this is going to change soon when the regulation finds common ground.
  • They should engage more in raising the industries' awareness of tokenization to raise the adaption rate and give the whole sector more tailwinds.

Other Software Used

Asana

Great product, already recommended to business partners.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Was looking for a platform with low fees to trade tokenized assets. Great that they integrate and tokenize bonds and funds. Also great to not be involved with the "blockchain" as I'm not too much of a techie. The legal team helped with some trading questions for different countries as well. I used the online platform, but I think they offer other options too. The onboarding was smooth, with well-educated people on the other side.

Pros

  • Legal Team
  • Polygon blockchain
  • Automated interest payment

Cons

  • Bad view of blockchain
  • Overview on regulations for different geographies - not easy though.

Return on Investment

  • Feeling safe while trading
  • Not having legal issues with trading on different geographies

Tokenization and custody with Nyala

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Custody, Tokenization

Pros

  • Increased Liquidity: the tokenized assets are made more liquid and tradable, opening up new investment opportunities for our clients
  • From the end user's / investor's perspective, the blockchain is totally in the background. They do not have to directly interface with it or even think about it.
  • The team is responsive, helpful and friendly
  • We too believe in their vision that a great part of the financial industry will be on-chain in the near future

Cons

  • There is still some limited awareness in the market about the benefits of tokenization

Return on Investment

  • Much cheaper than custody with Clearstream
