2. Bottlenecks of Traditional Cross-Border IPO Mechanisms

2.1 Over-reliance on multi-level intermediaries

Law firms, custodian banks, securities institutions and registration agencies participate simultaneously, stacking high service fees and extending listing preparation cycles.

2.2 Slow cross-border equity transfer settlement

Off-chain manual equity transfer review, fund clearing and registration confirmation often take several working days, with low capital turnover efficiency.

2.3 Difficult global investor unified management

Overseas investors from different regions follow disparate identity verification standards, lacking a unified trusted identity verification channel, increasing compliance review workload.

2.4 Opaque equity asset supervision

Offline equity registration documents are easy to tamper with, and real-time equity distribution data cannot be shared with regulatory authorities, bringing hidden supervision risks.

3. Blockchain Infrastructure Core Empowerment Logic for Cross-Border IPO

3.1 Equity asset standardized tokenization

Convert enterprise equity into compliant regulated digital equity tokens on the chain, with total share capital, transfer limits and investor qualification rules solidified in smart contracts, realizing transparent on-chain equity registration.

3.2 Decentralized cross-border identity authentication

Integrate multi-region compliant KYC modules on the chain to complete unified identity verification for global investors, automatically screening qualified overseas investors and simplifying manual review processes.

3.3 Automated cross-border equity clearing and settlement

Smart contracts automatically execute equity transfer and matching fund settlement, realizing real-time T+0 on-chain clearing, cutting intermediate settlement cycles and reducing bank custody service costs.

3.4 Real-time regulatory data on-chain synchronization

All equity transfer, investor holding and capital flow data are permanently recorded on the distributed ledger, supporting one-click data submission to cross-border financial supervision institutions and improving regulatory transparency.
