tZERO Joins Forces With XY Labs, the Company Behind XYO, to Digitize & Trade XY Labs Equity

  • Rating12345

NEW YORK- tZERO, a leader in blockchain innovation and liquidity for digital assets, announced today that it has partnered with XY Labs, a technology company that develops location-data software and devices to help customers participate in the world’s digital economy. The goal of the partnership is to digitize XY Labs’ securities representing Class A common stock in the company and for those securities to trade on tZERO’s regulated alternative trading system (ATS). The ATS is operated by tZERO’s wholly owned, FINRA member broker-dealer subsidiary, tZERO ATS. XY Labs’ stock, which is currently held by over 24,000 holders, will be digitized using tZERO’s smart contract technology and will be built on the Algorand Blockchain. The shares are expected to trade on the tZERO ATS in Q4 2021 or Q1 2022.

tZERO Interim CEO and Chief Legal Officer Alan Konevsky stated, “We are excited to grow the private digital securities trading on our platform through our partnership with XY Labs. We look forward to welcoming them onto our platform as we work to increase the velocity and scale of our securities business.”

Founded in 2012, XY Labs began as an idea to create a location-data network that could connect the real world with virtual realities through the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Since then, XY Labs has developed a broad variety of tools and technologies, including XYO, a blockchain network of devices that anonymously collect and validate data with a geographic component, the COIN app, which enables over 3 million users to be rewarded for validating geospatial location and other data, and a number of IoT products that collect location data and enable end-users to enhance their ability to find lost items. These efforts paved the way for what became the company’s main effort: connecting the physical world with the digital world.

XY Labs CEO and CTO Arie Trouw said, “We are excited to partner with tZERO to enable the trading of the XY Labs digital securities, and provide our shareholders with access to a leading automated and fully compliant trading environment for XY Labs shares.”

XY Labs completed its Regulation A+ offering in 2018, where the company raised approximately $22 million. To date, shares of XY Labs have not been able to be traded on a regulated venue. Instead, shares have been able to be privately sold for prices negotiated by the buyer and seller through XY Labs’ transfer agent, Broadridge.

Important Risk Information
Investors should note that trading securities could involve substantial risks, including no guarantee of returns, costs associated with selling and purchasing, no assurance of liquidity, which could impact the price and ability to sell, and possible loss of principal invested. Further, an investment in single security could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. Potential investors are urged to consult a professional adviser regarding any economic, tax, legal or other consequences of trading any securities as described herein.

The digital security that will trade on the tZERO ATS is the Class A common stock in XY Labs. The XYO token and the digital assets that COIN app users can earn will not trade on the tZERO ATS.

References to the XYO network and the Coin App are solely high-level descriptions of XY Labs’ business. Holdings of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are speculative and involve a substantial degree of risk, including the risk of complete loss. There can be no assurance that any cryptocurrencies or other digital assets will be viable, liquid, or solvent. This communication is not intended to imply that any digital asset services are low-risk or risk-free.
