Grupo Matba Rofex, leader in Latin American futures markets, acquires equity stake in Token City through Primary Ventures

Matba Rofex, leader in Latin America's futures markets, enters the tokenized economy through the Group's corporate venture capital vehicle, Primary Ventures. This allows it to benefit from the multiple advantages associated with asset tokenization and to keep up with the regulatory developments taking place both in Latin America and the European Union.

Matba Rofex is the result of the merger between two renowned entities in Argentina: the Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires (MATBA) and the Mercado de Rosario (Rofex). With more than two centuries of experience between the two companies, the merger of MATBA and Rofex has had a significant impact on the improvement of the Argentine futures and options industry. The transaction, valued at US$274 million, thus marked a before and after in the Argentine financial landscape.

Today, Matba Rofex's scope of action transcends the purely financial sector, extending also to the agricultural sector with the trading of futures linked to grain production, thus consolidating its presence in the Argentine economy.

Its investment in Token City represents a valuable milestone for both organizations. It reinforces Token City's role as one of the leaders in the field of tokenization of financial assets globally, and positions Matba Rofex at the technological forefront of futures and options trading. 

Token City welcomed Ismael Caram, Head of Crypto & Digital Assets at Matba Rofex, in its "Token City" TV show on Movistar's Negocios TV. Caram explained how securities tokenization can reshape the way traditional stock exchanges operate; the initiatives being carried out by Matba Rofex to adapt to this new era, and the progress made by Latin American exchanges in this regard, as well as the Group's decision to acquire a stake in Token City's capital.

Last June, Token City launched the first tranche of its financing round, which closed with complete success. Now it is launching its second tranche, open until November 30.
