A Transfer Agency is a financial entity responsible for maintaining records of ownership for securities and facilitating the transfer of those securities between investors. In traditional finance, they manage shareholder registers, process dividend payments, and handle stock splits. For digital assets, a transfer agency could adapt its functions to manage token ownership records and facilitate on-chain transfers. This role is crucial for ensuring accurate ownership tracking and efficient asset movement.
