With its Monetary Business Regulatory Authority (FINRA) broker-dealer registration and different buying and selling system go-ahead, revealed to CoinDesk Tuesday, Texture strikes nearer to taking its issuance market reside.

The one-year previous blockchain firm is the most recent tokenization outfit hoping to seize even a sliver of the hulking market for personal securities.
