What Equisafe does

Equisafe is a Paris-headquartered tokenized assets infrastructure platform, founded in 2019, that provides regulated end-to-end services for issuing, distributing, and trading digital securities across private equity, bonds, real estate, commodities, and (in roadmap) tokenized public equities. The platform combines on-chain issuance with embedded compliance through certified smart contracts, a non-custodial wallet based on DFNS multi-party computation, FIDO2/WebAuthn passkey authentication, KYC/AML automation (Onfido), and payment/banking rails delivered through partnerships with Lemon Way (ACPR-licensed payment institution) and Schuman Financial (electronic money institution under MiCA). Regulated activities are housed in three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Equisafe Invest SAS (PSFP under AMF FP-2024-4 for European crowdfunding), Equisafe Digital Markets sp. z o.o. (VASP RDWW-1719 in Poland), and Qazar Management Lux Sàrl (SPV-as-a-Service and securities register keeping in Luxembourg).

Equisafe serves three customer segments: issuers (companies and content owners seeking to tokenize assets and raise capital), distributors (financial institutions and wealth managers deploying white-label marketplaces), and private investors (15k–25k users accessing exclusive deals, pre-IPO allocations, DeFi yield, and secondary-market liquidity via the interconnected Equisafe Market). Distribution is hybrid: enterprise field sales for issuers and white-label partners, plus a self-serve investor portal (market.equisafe.io) and an SDK that allows third-party marketplaces to integrate Equisafe's tokenization, compliance, and banking layers.

The business model combines multi-year subscription/SaaS fees for white-label marketplace and issuer platform services, transaction fees on issuance and secondary trading, managed services revenue from SPV creation and administration (managed for up to five years), and payment-services revenue routed through Lemon Way and Schuman Financial. Reported scale metrics include €400M+ invested on the platform, 70+ completed fundraises, 10+ white-label marketplace deployments, and 20+ partner institutions. The company is privately held; ownership transitioned in December 2024 when CEO Maxime Sarthet acquired the business, with co-founder Frédéric Bertoïa remaining as CTO and a notable investor bench including Benjamin Rameau (Binance Labs) and Nicolas Vaiman (Bubblemaps).
