Blockchain technology helps dividend distribution and shareholder voting.

in #ethereum6 years ago (edited)

Netflix stock has delivered crypto-like returns as it has risen nearly ten-fold in just the past 5 years.

While some shares, like those of Netflix, are attractive due to the capital gains they can deliver, the vast portion of established companies’ shares are bought for the sake of receiving dividends. Anyone who owns a company’s shares has a stake in the company’s earning, which are distributed as dividends. Dividends give an intrinsic value to shares.

NFLX's meteoric gains show that cryptocurrencies are not the only means to earn massive earnings.

Future dividend potential is also the force behind sharp rises in certain company’s stock price. Netflix stock, for example, has risen so much because people expect one day Netflix will be able to pay out huge dividends due to a very high earning. Dividends payments are a major legal and financial undertaking by most companies. It’s their way of delivering on the returns they owe to their investors.

Despite the importance of dividends, limited efforts have been made to lower the cost of their distribution.

Another key purpose of shares is to grant voting rights to the holders. Of course, anyone who has a stake in the company deserves a proportional decision-making power. The execution of voting rights, too, is an expensive execution.

While the financial world has been an innovative power-house in terms of developing unique derivatives, the execution mechanisms of dividend payments and voting rights have not received much focus.

A Disruptive New Player


A team of bankers has recognized the potential benefits blockchain technology can offer to the securities markets. The founders of CDRX are providing the opportunity to trade financial securities like tokens, and this brings many benefits.

A crypto depository receipt (CDR) is created when a stock or dividend is deposited at a trusted fund or depository bank. CDRs, which are backed by the deposited stock/bonds, are then given to the depositor.

CDRX provides the innovative solutions blockchain technology has unlocked with respect to dealing with dividend payments and voting rights.

Projects that have issued security tokens have come up with innovative solutions to execute tasks like dividend payments and collection of token holder votes. By integrating smart contracts, dividend payments and voting rights have become an extremely efficient, low-cost, and automated task for security tokens.

CDRX, which will facilitate the creation and trade of CDRs, is going to provide the benefits of smart contracts to holders of traditional securities. Anyone who owns CDRs will have the right to claim the dividends and voting rights attached to the underlying bonds and stock. Corporations that have to exercise these tasks will be able to do so easily and affordably.

  • By utilizing smart contracts, the collection of votes will be made extremely efficient.
  • Rather than having to pay dividends to one shareholder at a time, a corporation could send just 1 payment to CDRX, which could then distribute the dividends to internal wallets via smart contracts or an internal engine.

Additionally, CDRX will enable swift fulfillment times; so, shareholders will be able to claim their dividends in record time.

These swift fulfillment timelines are also applicable to the trade of CDRs; CDRX will not only make it possible to swiftly change ownership of securities-backed receipts, but will also provide disruptively low trading charges.


Wrap-Up: CDRX is bringing an innovative and much-needed efficiency solution to fulfilling the primary purpose of shares: giving their owners the right to receive their portion of the company’s earnings and voting on important decisions.

Great piece!

The intro got me hooked on.

I've always been fascinated by the stock market: shares, dividends ET AL. Unfortunately, at the time Ihad the funds, I didn't have the required documents for the KYC.

I like what CDRX is trying to do, especially the voting part. This way, everyone would have a (real) voice including small (potential) investors like myself

That being said, I'll choose crypto over fiat any time

Shareholder voting already exists. Just, using smart contracts would make it a lot cheaper to exercise and more convenient for shareholders.

Hello @hatu,
First, I congratulate you on this article, it is perfectly explained. The essence of the project is very clear.

And I really believe that it is a tool that should have a very good reception by most companies, at least for those that are clearly managed in terms of their accounts, I also see that shareholders would also want to have this possibility practically " automate "the arrival of your profits and in addition to your vote count, without needing to be a cumbersome process.
The other thing that is done under this very necessary scheme is that they must learn about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, at least the basics in terms of using wallet.
Bringing in addition this an additional benefit for the whole world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Thank you for presenting this project.

True, I feel the dividend-scouting investors are a bit on the conservative side and are less likely to be familiar with blockchain technology.

A little bit of on-boarding education would go a long way.

Interesting choice of topic @hatu

I would love to hear your view on future of STO vs ICO. Perhaps you could share what do you think about this issue? (sorry for a little bit off-topic question)

Yours
Piotr

I feel a great portion of the community is looking forward to STOs, and I am one of them. I hope to delve into this topic a bit deeper in a future piece.

If we look at the CMC top 100, its pretty clear that most, if not all, tokens on the list are cored around trading. I feel products that are not part of the trading industry will shift to STOs.

Although it is true that cryptocurrencies shares has many advantages, they won't became mainstream until they get a clear international regulation

Certainly.
CDRs cannot take off without regulatory approval, but the team has a strong network in the financial industry and that should pave the way for meeting the people who call the regulatory shots.

be patience, peoples are working around the clock making this happen.

True, this is a major endeavor.

Be patience, peoples
Are working around the clock
Making this happen.

This is an interesting article and rather more interesting is the view you have shared. I was also thinking sometime back on how Crypto can be somehow linked to trading.

Crypto is primarily about trading as it is since most token's primary volume is derived from trades. This takes the popularity of token trading to a new tier, one that can benefit everyone rather than just the Crypto community.

I must congratulate you, friend. Very good post, very explanatory. The ideas are clearly understood and the introduction traps.

I upvoted u please can u upvote me too

Indeed,
dividend distribution and shareholder voting become more effective by blockchain... I love to read your blog ...specially crypto related content..

I really feel blockchain technology can have a major impact on the financial sector; everything's simply in a budding phase right now.

CDRX what is this exactly ERC token or coin?

The platform's native tokens are non-securitized, ERC-20 utility tokens.

I got it

Now blockchain tech would take part in deciding dividend distribution of a compay. Impressive!

Earning would decide that; blockchain tech will just facilitate it.

Yea...and they will share their earnings bades on the percentage of their holdings.

Yea, like a typical dividend.
