CryptoWorld News reports that, according to The Wall Street Journal, Citigroup is developing a channel for its high-net-worth and institutional clients to trade private (unlisted) company stocks via blockchain, and hopes this model will be widely adopted by other Wall Street banks in the future. Currently, the bank is in talks with some of the world's largest unlisted private companies to participate. The project will operate through "depositary receipts," which have been authorized and tokenized, with Citigroup acting as the issuer and custodian.

High-net-worth clients get to test the waters first; retail investors can't even get a spot in the queue. This is very traditional finance, and it's very real.

Wall Street's entry posture is always elegant—build the infrastructure first, then talk about revolution. Other banks will follow in due time.

Tokenization of depositary receipts may sound complicated, but it's actually just packaging illiquid assets into tradable certificates. A new toy for institutional players.
