# STOKR

> Institutional-grade asset tokenization platform built on Bitcoin. STOKR enables professional ventures to issue regulated digital securities and institutional investors to access tokenized alternative-asset opportunities — under a Luxembourg-regulated framework with end-to-end compliance, custody, and settlement infrastructure.

STOKR is built for institutional capital markets, not retail crypto trading. The platform combines Luxembourg-domiciled issuance vehicles, GDPR-compliant KYC/AML, on-chain investor whitelisting, and blockchain settlement on the Liquid Network (Bitcoin sidechain) to handle the full digital-securities lifecycle: issuance, trading, clearing, settlement, custody, and asset servicing. STOKR is not an exchange; it is a regulated issuance and asset-servicing platform.

## What STOKR is (and isn't)

- **Is**: regulated digital-securities issuance platform, institutional-grade infrastructure, asset-servicing operator, Luxembourg-supervised
- **Is not**: a retail cryptocurrency exchange, a custodian of crypto deposits, an unregulated DeFi protocol
- **Audience**: institutional investors, family offices, professional ventures, qualified issuers — not retail speculators
- **Asset classes**: Bitcoin mining ventures, Bitcoin yield funds, private credits, public equities, alternative assets

## Regulatory & compliance

- **Luxembourg-regulated**: issuance vehicles structured and supervised under Luxembourg financial-services law
- **MiCA**: actively preparing for authorization under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (in progress)
- **DORA**: compliant with the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act for ICT risk management
- **GDPR**: compliant identity verification and personal-data handling for all investors
- **ISO/IEC 27001:2022**: certified information security management system
- **KYC/AML**: full identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks; investor whitelisting enforced on-chain
- **EU jurisdiction**: Luxembourg domicile, EU regulatory framework
