Overview

Founded in 2021 as a collaboration between the creators of the DeFi protocol MANTRA and the broker-dealer Tritaurian Capital, SOMA.finance aims to integrate regulated tokenized securities into DeFi. It offers a legal and regulated framework for trading tokenized equities and issuances using secure onboarding and encryption protocols. This platform seeks to bridge traditional brokerage investors to the DeFi market, promoting the adoption of blockchain technology in financial trading. ^[2][3]

SOMA aims to provide a compliant product suite for institutions and retail investors, offering KYC and AML functions, digital asset trading and regulated automated market making (AMM). Initially, SOMA will launch with 20–30 tokenized equities, ETFs, crypto assets, and STOs, with more products to follow. Investors can trade decentralized asset classes through SOMA, avoiding centralized order books and potential market manipulation. Additionally, institutions and retail investors can participate in yield farming and liquidity provider incentives by adhering to KYC and AML guidelines. ^[2][3]
