The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, also known as FINMA, has officially approved a new trading platform for retail investors that would allow them to trade tokenized securities and digital assets. 
It is important to note that Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure for banks and institutions, will now officially expand its TDX trading platform to retail investors.

As per a<a href="https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/switzerland-approves-retail-tokenised-securities-trading-platform/?utm_source=onecryptofeed&amp;utm_medium=social"> report</a>, the approval of multiple spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States in early January has inspired the Swiss regulator to approve the TDX trading platform for retail investors.&nbsp; 
“Private markets 2.0 shall be digitized, so that buying a private security becomes as easy as buying a book on Amazon,” said Yann Isola, TDX head of product.

According to the report, one advantage of the Swiss regulator’s approval of TDX is that retail investors will now have access to primary and secondary markets for digital assets, increasing the sector’s liquidity. 
“FINMA is a very thorough regulator and not an easy regulator to get approvals through,” Leo Mizuhara, CEO of decentralized asset management platform Hashnote, told DL News.

Mizuhara noted that the Swiss regulator’s approval is quite notable for the expanded regulatory approval for tokenization. However, the executive believes that it might not be a big deal for retail investors:&nbsp; 
“There is not a real difference for investors between securities in their brokerage account and a tokenized version of it. Most people who want access to this type of financial product probably already had it.”
