Cap-table exposure
A tokenized fund or security on a transparent chain reveals who owns how much. The cap table — normally tightly held — becomes readable by competitors, journalists, and anyone else, undermining a basic expectation of private and regulated markets.Holder lists
Public token contracts expose the full list of holders and their balances. For regulated instruments this can violate confidentiality obligations and expose investors to targeting and surveillance.Redemption flows
Redemptions reveal who is exiting, when, and how much. Visible redemption activity can signal distress, trigger herd behavior, or leak the strategy of large holders.How confidential tokenization solves it
A confidential tokenization platform issues assets whose holder balances and transfers are encrypted onchain but still verifiable. Supply and reserves remain provable, and selective disclosure gives auditors and regulators scoped, logged visibility — so issuers meet their obligations without publishing the cap table.Related
