Blockchain/DLT allows the creation of new forms of digital information, which has the same access and transfer functionality as a property right: the token. The token allows an efficient interaction between ecosystem participants which reduces transaction costs and balance sheet exposure. We believe there are three areas where we are powerfully different to other digital asset banking solutions.
Firstly, our portfolio of regulated digital banking services are seamlessly integrated and available as one solution – from same day trading settlements to tokenized securities and innovative digital asset investment products. Whales Capital FX & Investment Company Ltd brings traditional banking convenience and simplicity to digital assets – all underpinned with institutional-grade security.
Secondly, Whales Capital FX & Investments Ltd has its own independently controlled, scalable and future-proof regulated banking platform. We have the agility to configure secure infrastructure, operations and services to meet a range of diverse institutional needs. Today and as the digital asset universe evolves. This means Whales Capital FX & Investment Company Ltd can test and launch new services as opportunities arise, scale up projects at speed and provide Digital banking experiences that are intuitive and cutting edge.
And thirdly, at Whales Capital FX & Investment Company Ltd we believe in collaboration, not competition, and networks, not barriers. Whales Capital FX is shaping the development of a trusted digital asset ecosystem with its strategic partners and other industry leaders. Through this network of partnerships, we can deliver ambitious projects, operate globally at scale, and pioneer new DLT standards for financial services.

We appreciate the transformative power and usefulness of DLT. But decentralisation is not a panacea. On one hand, rules and regulations have been put in place for a reason – in most cases to protect the investor. This must continue. On the other hand, DLT is a trust and security engine that provides a great degree of control. Because of this, certain rules may become redundant, but not all of them.
Because we believe we are in a period of consolidation and transition, we seek to both maintain and uphold high regulatory standards and support their evolution as they embrace digital assets. Future has heritage.
