Tokenization of litigation funding on the blockchain, an essential milestone for Liti Capital
Geneva, Switzerland, August 17, 2021 – Litigation funding has long been the closed domain of traditional financial institutions and large investors – a playground for the ultra-rich and their trusts and hedge funds. Entertainment media often romanticize legal practice as a chess game between the wealthy and big business.
This has changed, initially with the creation of decentralized monetary systems (e.g. Bitcoin) based on immutable code rather than arbitrary decisions, and more recently with the idea of bottom-up litigation funding. The latter was named by the Switzerland-based company. cited Liti capitalwhose vision is to make private equity investing more accessible to the everyday crowd and revolutionize litigation participation through blockchain.
A milestone in tokenization for Liti
Having only launched this year, Liti has made great leaps and bounds and has already broken the normally quiet spaces of traditional investing. His most recent win was his wLITI Tokens first centralized listing (CEX) on HitBTC.
HitBTC is an old guard for the spot trading crypto exchange and was founded in 2013 and still has an impressive user base. Its well-known, state-of-the-art matching machine, excellent security and cheap trading fees have kept it competitive with other exchanges. With the robot-friendly trading API and all-day customer support, HitBTC is a favorite for many and has 800+ trading pairs and 400 over-spot instruments.
Liti Capital, on the other hand, is much, much newer and therefore sees this listing as a great opportunity to expand its activities and market itself more strongly in the rest of the world. “We are very excited to be listed on HitBTC,” said Jonas King, CEO of Liti Capital, added, “This is an important milestone in our goal of leveling the playing field for litigation funding. Legal claims are an extremely attractive asset class because they can be so lucrative, and we offer everyone the opportunity to participate in this exciting investment opportunity. “
HitBTC also sees opportunities with the listing of wLITI. According to their team, they are proud to support a model that seeks to change the paradigm for traditional investing. Litigation finance is an enticing asset class with a high barrier to entry, there is so much untapped potential and opportunities to scale that could be tapped once the floodgates are opened and everyone has a choice to buy into.
Paradigm shift with blockchain
Traditionally, litigation funding has been an expensive investment that requires an initial payment of up to $ 500,000 to $ 1 million from an investor. This has made it difficult for those who do not have the resources or access to cash to even consider getting involved in such a lucrative industry. Thanks to Liti Capital, these costs can be reduced to as low as $ 50.
Liti Capital tokenizes its company’s shares, cuts costs, and pays dividends to equity token holders when a case is won in Liti’s portfolio. This disrupts the traditional method of having a single investor bear the initial costs of arbitration or litigation, and allows for a larger pool of investors to be formed and for the profits from the case to be fairly shared among the owners. Litigation finance specialists like Liti Capital then use that investment money to buy litigation assets that they have determined had a high chance of profit and gain.
wLITI token, “Wrapped LITI”, is the company’s ERC-20 liquidity token. Although it does not have access to dividends (i.e. for LITI token holders), wLITI can be exchanged for LITI tokens affecting the Liti Capital community at a rate of 5000 to 1. This gives wLITI and LITI investors a say over 5% to 10% of their annual investment budget.
A case portfolio gold mine
Despite the economic climate, litigation finance has continued to grow and thrive as an industry. Its growth despite the adversity has made it a resilient and profitable sector for companies to invest in.
As if more evidence was needed, Liti Capital already has a great case portfolio. Many of their cases are typically commercial lawsuits involving large corporations, with many of their settlements being worth more than $ 10 million, with one case being worth over $ 1 billion if the settlement is made comes. While it takes a long time to resolve a case as new cases keep being resolved, investors can typically expect to make around three to five times their original investment, according to litigation finance expert Steven Friel.
“Litigation is generally unrelated to economic conditions, so litigation funding can thrive even in a bear market,” said David Kay, chief information officer and executive chairman, Liti Capital. He continues, “As a relative newcomer to the modern investment ecosystem, the market value of litigation finance is expected to double over the next six years. Our investment team at Liti Capital is actively seeking the best litigation opportunities and intends to add at least five additional multi-million dollar cases to our portfolio by then next year. “
With 10 years of experience, Kay is an experienced portfolio manager and financing partner for private equity funds in litigation finance. Kay is also known for winning the largest international arbitration award of its day, which grossed more than a billion dollars in assets – namely stocks and cash.
