Prepared for ST0x

Credibility Scale

A communications strategy for ST0x.

July 2026

The Ask

Strong foundations. A stronger public profile.

PRIMARY

Establish ST0x as the trusted technology platform enabling institutional adoption of tokenised capital markets.

As the tokenisation market matures, success is driven by reputation, trust and market positioning, not just technology. We translate the credibility ST0x has already built into a clear market position with the audiences that matter: investors, institutions, partners and media.

FLOWS FROM IT

A differentiated market narrative, owned before the big moments arrive.

Franklin Templeton, Securitize, Ondo and others own the adoption conversation. Nobody yet owns the harder question: what does institutional tokenisation actually require? Leading that conversation showcases ST0x’s technology, expertise and commercial progress every time it is asked.

The Media Audit

Further ahead
than your profile suggests.

Live

Already trading

The platform is live and trading, regulated in Germany, with real institutional relationships behind it. The industry has largely solved putting assets on blockchain; ST0x is building what comes next: making them practical for institutions to use at scale.

BNY Mellon

Institutional proof

A partnership with BNY Mellon to bring their Global Depositary Receipts onchain is close to finalising. Few tokenisation companies can point to institutional validation of this weight.

$50m

The next phase

A Series B at a ~$300m valuation is underway to fund US expansion. The raise is both a milestone and a platform: the natural entry point for ST0x into the American market and its media.

Zero

Earned media presence

Our audit found no independent coverage, executive interviews or thought leadership, just one press-wire announcement. The public profile has not caught up with the progress of the business. That is the gap, and the opportunity.

The Approach

Define the story. Then build it.

01 · Position

Define the story before telling it

A strategy session locks the positioning: ST0x as the answer to the question the industry has not yet answered, what does institutional tokenisation actually require? Key messages and a milestone map come out of it, the foundation for all future communications.

02 · Awareness

Create visibility before the big moments

Interviews, media commentary, opinion pieces and podcasts introduce ST0x and its leadership to the market. Alongside, we elevate the strongest credibility signals already in the business: the founding team, regulatory progress, advisors and institutional partnerships.

03 · Anchor

Turn progress into momentum

Major milestones are the strongest accelerants: the BNY Mellon partnership, then the Series B announcement. Each is timed, packaged and amplified, with executive visibility and thought leadership sustaining momentum between the moments.

The Approach

Sustain it. Scale it.

04 · Industry presence

Earned speaking slots for ST0x's leadership at the finance and crypto conferences that matter, extending the company's presence beyond media and reinforcing credibility with institutional audiences in the room.

05 · Share of voice

Between the anchor moments, proactive newsjacking and timely commentary keep ST0x inside the conversations shaping institutional tokenisation, so the profile compounds rather than spikes.

06 · Build locally, scale globally

Europe first, where regulatory approvals, commercial momentum and proximity to stakeholders give ST0x its strongest credibility. The Series B announcement is the entry moment into the US, followed by an ongoing programme there.

The Trajectory

Twelve months, compounding.

Aligned with ST0x's own objective: a top-five tokenisation platform globally within twelve months. Each phase builds the profile the next one stands on.

Positioning locked Month 1 European profile building BNY Mellon announcement Series B: the US entry Top 5 tokenisation platform globally

Media Targets

Two markets. One overlap.

The crypto trade press spans both markets. Phased with the programme: Europe first, the US from the Series B.
