Frequently asked questions
Does Brickken hold client assets or securities?
No. Brickken does not custody assets, hold client funds, or issue securities directly. Its software enables other legal entities to conduct tokenized offerings. Issuance clients remain the regulated entity of record. This separation is integral to Brickken's licensing posture, keeping the firm outside the scope of most national financial custody regulations.
What blockchains does Brickken's protocol support?
The Brickken Token Suite is deployed on multiple EVM-compatible chains, prominently Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain. Integration with Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, formalized in 2024 through the Chainlink BUILD program, expanded the protocol's asset lifecycle management across additional networks.
How does Brickken's European Blockchain Sandbox selection affect its operations?
In May 2023, Brickken was one of the first projects admitted to the European Blockchain Sandbox. This provides a structured regulatory dialogue with the European Commission and national regulators, allowing Brickken to test tokenized asset structures within approved legal frameworks. The designation functions as a quasi-endorsement for institutional counterparties conducting diligence on the firm's compliance posture.
What asset classes does Brickken currently tokenize?
Brickken's platform primarily handles three instrument types: equity tokens, debt tokens, and revenue-sharing tokens. Initial traction centered on real estate private placements in Spain and Switzerland. The firm has since expanded pipeline activity to private credit, fund limited-partnership interests, and operating business equity, though real estate remains the largest volume vertical based on public case studies.
Is Brickken a regulated entity in the United States?
Brickken maintains a U.S. entity, Brickken Inc., registered in Delaware. The company provides tokenization software and does not market itself as a broker-dealer or registered investment advisor. Any U.S. securities offerings using Brickken's infrastructure are conducted by the respective issuer under their own applicable exemptions, typically Regulation D or Regulation S.
