Geneva, Switzerland, 17.09.2024–Taurus is pleased to announce its collaboration with Bank Syz to successfully tokenize a work of art from the Syz collection, “Dreamstime” by Sarah Benslimane. Thanks to the Taurus-CAPITAL tokenization solution, Bank Syz issued security tokens representing the ownership of the artwork on the Ethereum blockchain.  

Enhancing digital asset offerings for Bank Syz 

Bank Syz tokenized the artwork "Dreamstime" by Sarah Benslimane, distributing the tokens to its employees. They now collectively own the artwork and have the possibility to buy and sell the tokens on the TDX marketplace.  

The internal program, under the supervision of the Swiss law firm Schellenberg Wittmer, provides valuable learnings that will inform the bank's future digital asset offerings. With Syz Crypto offering, the Bank has been developing its existing cryptocurrency trading and custody services and hopes to one day integrate that art tokenization offering. This expansion would create new opportunities for clients to diversify their portfolios and engage with the art market in new ways. 

Broadening access to art ownership 

The primary motivation behind this initiative was to explore the benefits of tokenization in wealth management. Tokenization offers new possibilities for legacy planning by allowing fractional inheritance of real assets, simplifying estate distribution, and reducing conflicts. It democratizes access to traditionally exclusive assets, enabling a wider audience to invest in valuable items like art, real estate, and infrastructure.  

Nicolas Syz, Head of Private Bank at Bank Syz said: "This project not only enables our employees to engage with art in a novel way but also allows us to explore the vast potential of blockchain technology in wealth management. We are excited about the learnings gained from this initial tokenization of a real asset and how they could potentially shape our future offerings." 

Increased liquidity in the art market 

The Syz Art Tokens are registered in a co-ownership register maintained on the TDX platform. Those ledger-based securities ensure accurate tracking in real-time of the wallets to which the tokens are attributed. The tokens are also admitted for trading on TDX, providing a seamless and transparent trading experience. 

Sébastien Dessimoz, Managing Partner at Taurus, said: "Our collaboration with Bank Syz demonstrates the potential of tokenization to enhance art ownership. We are proud to provide the technology that makes such innovative projects possible as well as creating a secondary market through TDX to democratize access to art as an asset class."
