About OnchainTA: SEC-Registered Transfer Agent for Tokenized Securities

The Digital Transfer Agent Connecting Securities to Digital Capital Markets

OnchainTA helps businesses, asset managers and financial institutions modernize securities ownership and administration through tokenization. As a digital transfer agent focused exclusively on tokenized securities, and an SEC-registered transfer agent since 2021, we help issuers maintain registered ownership records, serve investors, administer compliant transfers and manage securities throughout their lifecycle. Our goal is straightforward: make digital securities more practical for the organizations that issue and administer them, and easier for the investors who own them.

Who We Are

Akemona TA Services, LLC, doing business as OnchainTA, is a subsidiary of Akemona, Inc. Registered with the SEC as a transfer agent since 2021, OnchainTA provides digital transfer agent services for tokenized securities. Akemona, Inc. is the software engineering company that develops the platform OnchainTA uses to provide those services. OnchainTA administers tokenized securities and securityholder services; Akemona develops the applications, APIs, smart contracts and infrastructure behind them.

Securities Ownership Is Evolving. Transfer Agency Should Evolve With It.

Businesses and fund managers need more than a way to put securities on a blockchain. They need dependable ownership records, appropriate transfer controls, effective investor servicing, and the ability to manage distributions and corporate actions long after an offering closes. Traditional financial infrastructure and emerging digital capital markets don't always connect easily, and that fragmentation makes tokenization harder than it needs to be. OnchainTA exists to bridge the gap between traditional securities infrastructure and digital capital markets, helping organizations adopt digital securities while preserving ownership rights, compliance processes and established business relationships.

Our Mission

Make the issuance, ownership, transfer and ongoing administration of tokenized securities simpler, more transparent and more connected, so issuers can reduce operational complexity, serve investors more effectively and take part in emerging digital capital markets.

One Digital Transfer Agent for the Securities Lifecycle

From issuance or cap table tokenization through registered ownership, investor servicing, Direct Transfer and corporate actions, OnchainTA supports tokenized securities for their whole life. Explore our digital transfer agent services, Issuer Hub and cap table tokenization.

OnchainTA can also work alongside an issuer's existing transfer agent, using APIs and coordinated records to support the tokenized portion of a securities program. See transfer agent integration.

Built on Akemona Software Engineering

Akemona, Inc., founded in 2018, develops blockchain-based software for digital asset issuance, investor participation and ongoing asset management. Its technology connects issuer workflows, investor experiences, transfer agency administration, and supporting payment and escrow processes. The platform is blockchain-agnostic and market-proven on EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche and BNB Smart Chain. Its technology and smart contracts were independently audited by Highland Security, and all audit findings have since been addressed. Akemona develops the software; OnchainTA provides the digital transfer agent services.

Ravi Srivastava

Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer

Ravi conceived the Akemona platform as a regulated securities tokenization platform built on smart contracts and blockchain, and today leads product strategy for OnchainTA's digital transfer agent services. Before founding Akemona, he worked across insurance (Travelers), private equity (Trident, Zenith), healthcare (Kaiser Permanente), technology (Dell) and banking (Bank of America, Reserve Bank of India). Mergers, acquisitions and bank reporting showed him how hard it is to share accurate, evolving information across legal entities. That experience led him to blockchain as a way to keep ownership records transparent and current. He holds a B.S. from the University of Lucknow, an M.S. from Arizona State University and an MBA from Claremont Graduate University.

Our Direction

The benefits of tokenized securities go beyond digitizing a certificate. The larger opportunity is connecting the rights and protections of securities with programmable infrastructure and new market possibilities. OnchainTA keeps developing its transfer agency services alongside Akemona's software, including tools for issuance, cap table tokenization and investor servicing. CapMark AI assists issuer workflows, and DigitalCapTable, coming soon, will bring transparency to layered private-market ownership.
