Distribution Package
Cashlink Connect
Cashlink Connect provides access to a wide variety of crypto securities from issuers inside the network.
Integrate these assets into your investment platform and offer your customers new investment opportunities.
Assets in the network include bonds and participation rights form sectors like real-estate, renewables, art and infrastructure.
How to start
In order to start offering crypto securities from the network to your investors, you'll need to become a Trusted Distribution Partner. The partner management team at Cashlink will help you with the set up and provide you with a list of the assets currently available. Then, simply select the assets that you want to offer to your investors.
Please note, that you need a investment platform with a German license to broker securities in order to become a Trusted Distribution Partner.
How to use the Distribution API
Cashlink provides an easy API-based access to the distribution network. Selling crypto securities from the distribution network or your own digital securities is a two-step process with a shared responsibility between you as the distribution partner and Cashlink as the registry for the asset:
You are responsible for the brokerage process of the asset, e.g. MiFiD compliance
Cashlink is responsible for managing the registry on the DLT network
Access to the assets' API environments
After you've decided on a list of crypto securities that you want to offer, we'll provide you with all the needed product details in order for you to set up and configure an online investment process for the crypto security.
In a next step, we will provide you with credentials for the Distribution API. They include the following:
API environment (URL)
Client ID
Client secret
Distribution flow
As a distributor of crypto securities, Cashlink provides you with information about the products available to you. To be able to access those products via the Distribution API, you need a valid agreement with the issuer agreeing on the allocation you can distribute out of the product's total supply.
You as a distributor are responsible to gather investor data such as residence address, tax identification number and KYC information. You are also responsible for setting up the payment mechanism together with the issuer. You can use SEPA transfers or a payment provider of your choice.
The custody solution is also within your responsibilities. You can either choose the managed custody solution we offer together with Tangany or bring your own custody solution to provide us an ERC-20 compatible wallet address.
To register an investment of investors, you need to provide us data about those investors, their investments and the wallet solution. The payment of the transaction is performed outside of the Cashlink Distribution API. You will simply inform Cashlink about a completed payment.
You will be responsible for the lifecycle management of all investor related data, especially for providing investors with registry statements.
Product lifecycle events are managed by the issuer. Those events include, besides others, payouts and tax handling. You will be informed about those events via the Cashlink Distribution API.
You are further responsible to inform investors about redemptions.
