DSTOQ makes use of tokenization and digital asset issuance on Stellar to provide US-grade securities like Tesla, Google, and Apple stock on their consumer-facing app and B2B API integration to make investing accessible, affordable, and available to anyone with a mobile phone. Cross-border investing remains costly and largely unavailable to emerging markets. Without the ability to hold best-in-class assets for growing, diversifying, or protecting wealth, many of these populations are left holding onto money whose value diminishes over time, especially in high-inflation countries. These populations simply haven't had access to the same financial services as those in high-income economies. DSTOQ identified this problem and offered their own answer: increasing worldwide access to high-quality securities via tokens on Stellar and transacting these tokens on a borderless digital interface. On top of tokenization, DSTOQ focused on building a user app for retail consumers and API-integration functionality for third-party partners. To provide a global solution that allows for easy investing in world-class assets while cutting out the intermediaries, DSTOQ realized that blockchain technology would play a pivotal role. After exploring which blockchain to build their solution on top of, they settled on Stellar for the following reasons: Follow Sam Conner on Twitter @samconnerone For more on DStoq --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/samconner/support

Today we're talking with CEO and Co-founder of DSTOQ, Craig McGregor. DSTOQ is an app that helps you get unrestricted access to stocks, bonds, or ETF's with zero fees. Before DSTOQ Craig was working in finance in South Africa, investing in companies all over the world. He was first introduced to cryptocurrency when some of his poker friends were using bitcoin to make deposits and withdrawals for online casinos. It was some of those same friends that would introduce Craig to the man that would become his co-founder, Christian. Christian was trying to move money down to South Africa and was getting charged big fee's by traditional banks. With Craig's background in financing, his understanding of crypto, and being from an emerging market, he realized a lot of finance in emerging markets is broken. This is when Craig realized cross border transactions were one of the best use cases for cryptocurrency and DSTOQ was born. DSTOQ is a decentralized trading platform for people to invest from emerging markets to developed markets. The company is focused on first time investors with an app that makes it as user-friendly as possible to buy shares of companies like Apple and Tesla. With DSTOQ the settlement time takes just five seconds instead of five days. A settlement is when legal ownership of what you bought is transferred, and a lot of bad things can happen in five days. Craig says that's why settlement time is so important. One side of DSTOQ is the traditional infrastructure with traditional banks. DSTOQ will buy all shares of a company and then create a token on Stellar blockchain with a one to one link. It's then possible to trade those tokens on the Stellar blockchain. It allows transactions peer to peer without the middle man. Craig says they're mostly based in Europe but have the most users from Brazil and Nigeria. The DSTOQ team is rather small with a core team of just three people. The team has created an e-learning course for people that don't know where to start with investing. Craig says education is needed especially in emerging markets and that education is the ultimate equalizer. The e-learning can be found directly on the app. To learn more about DSTOQ, visit dstoq.com or find them on Twitter and Instagram. -- Divi is creating the world's first closed-loop, vertically-integrated cryptocurrency ecosystem. Much like Apple's ecosystem is anchored by iCloud, the Divi Project blockchain serves as the core of the Divi network of technologies. Thanks to a keen understanding of the divide that separates the mainstream from the crypto world, the Divi team is able to create solutions to the industry's biggest problem: adoption by non-technical users. Divi's user-friendly, one-click solutions aim to bring blockchain-based payments into modernity with great UX. In this podcast, we will cover all aspects of cryptocurrency, hot topics, and technology as worldwide adoption grows.

DSTOQ, a Liechtenstein-based FinTech company, helps make investing accessible and affordable for people in emerging markets, through a borderless digital interface for security tokens built on the Stellar network, a global, decentralized open source blockchain. Through the DSTOQ interface, users have easier access to blue chip shares, such as Tesla or Amazon, as well as bonds, indices and commodities using fiat or cryptocurrencies. DSTOQ's first market will be Vietnam, followed by South Africa and other African, SouthAmerican, and Asian developing countries. DSTOQ users require only a smartphone to access global financial markets, which thanks to Stellar's infrastructure layer, makes the entire process not only more accessible but also more efficient.
