Definition ∞ An Investor Register is a formal record that lists all holders of securities or digital assets, detailing their ownership stakes and relevant contact information. In traditional finance, it is maintained by a company or its transfer agent to track share ownership and facilitate corporate actions. For tokenized assets, this register can exist on a blockchain, providing an immutable and transparent record of ownership. It is a fundamental component for managing shareholder communications and distributions.
Context ∞ The concept of an Investor Register is gaining prominence in the digital asset space, particularly for security tokens and tokenized real-world assets. Discussions often center on how blockchain technology can automate and secure these registers, offering enhanced transparency and reducing administrative burdens compared to traditional systems. News reports frequently cover the development of platforms and regulatory frameworks supporting on-chain investor registers, addressing compliance and ownership verification.
