Inside ONINO’s Two-Tier Marketplace Model: From Token Issuance to Trading

The digital asset ecosystem is maturing rapidly, and tokenized assets are no longer limited to niche blockchain projects. Today, institutional-grade platforms are enabling end-to-end digital asset lifecycles, from issuance to post-sale trading. ONINO stands at the forefront of this shift with its two-tier tokenization marketplace model.

By unifying primary issuance and secondary trading under one compliant infrastructure, ONINO delivers a powerful solution for issuers and investors alike. Here’s how it works.

What Is a Two-Tier Tokenization Marketplace?

Most tokenization platforms stop at issuance. ONINO goes further by offering a two-layer structure:

Tier 1: Primary Market (Issuance)

This is where companies, funds, or project developers create and sell their tokenized assets to investors for the first time. This tier includes:

• Security tokens (e.g. tokenized equity, convertible notes, or bonds)
• Real-world asset tokens (e.g. real estate shares, invoice-backed assets)
• Utility or access tokens

ONINO provides a no-code interface for token creation and a fully integrated investor onboarding system with KYC/AML, compliance checks, and digital document generation. The issuer configures the offering, sets investment parameters, and launches the raise.

Tier 2: Secondary Market (Trading)

Once the primary raise is complete, ONINO enables peer-to-peer trading of the issued tokens through its secondary market layer. This means:

• Investors can buy/sell their tokens to/from others
• Trades are governed by smart contracts enforcing compliance
• Real-time settlement eliminates friction and intermediaries

This liquidity layer transforms tokenized assets from static holdings into dynamic, tradable instruments.

Why This Integrated Model Matters

✅ For Issuers

• Manage the full lifecycle of a tokenized product in one place
• Increase appeal to investors by offering potential liquidity
• Reduce operational overhead by avoiding multiple fragmented tools

✅ For Investors

• Gain access to alternative investment opportunities (real estate, venture, debt)
• Exit positions or rebalance portfolios via compliant peer-to-peer trading
• Enjoy a seamless, unified user experience from onboarding to post-trade

A Practical Example: Tokenized Bonds in Action

Let’s say a mid-sized infrastructure firm wants to raise €2 million by issuing tokenized bonds:

1. Tier 1 – Issuance:
   • The firm creates digital bonds using ONINO’s platform
   • Smart contracts define coupon structure and maturity
   • Investors complete KYC and subscribe to the bonds with fiat or crypto
2. Tier 2 – Trading:
   • Months later, an investor wishes to exit early
   • They list the bonds on ONINO’s secondary market
   • Another verified investor buys the tokens directly, with settlement and transfer happening instantly

This seamless flow—from token generation to real-time trade—would be nearly impossible with traditional infrastructure.

Built-In Compliance at Every Step

ONINO’s marketplace model is designed with regulation in mind:

• Investor eligibility checks before both primary purchase and secondary trading
• Jurisdictional filtering to prevent unauthorized access
• Smart contract-level restrictions (e.g. transfer locks, whitelists)
• Audit logs and transparent reporting for both users and regulators

This makes ONINO ideal for both startups launching their first raise and institutions managing large portfolios.
