Magazine recently ranked SeedInvest as the fourth fastest-growing financial services company in the U.S. on its highly respected &#8220;Inc. 500 List.&#8221; Circle\u2019s vision is to create an open, global, and connected digital economy formed on cryptoassets and blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>Circle's blog states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA critical element of realizing this vision is building new ways for businesses, and ultimately individuals, to use crypto assets to more efficiently raise capital, manage investors and provide liquidity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With this acquisition, Circle is making a big push into the increasingly popular security token space. When the proper security token infrastructure is in place, security tokens could very well provide increased liquidity for private securities, access to a global investor base, automated compliance, expedited and cheaper deals, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the acquisition of SeedInvest will allow startups to resourcefully raise capital through a regulated platform, access diversified portfolios of retail investors through <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/products\/circle-invest\/\">Circle Invest<\/a>, and get secondary market liquidity through Circle\u2019s digital asset exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Circle\u2019s acquisition of SeedInvest is a step in the right direction for the security token industry. We can only wait\u00a0to see what the rest of 2018 holds for this emerging asset class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a blog on the Circle website, the Goldman Sachs-backed peer-to-peer payments technology company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire SeedInvest, a leader in the equity crowdfunding industry and registered Broker-Dealer.\u00a0With this acquisition, Circle is clearly entering the security token space.
