About us
We are Swarm
Swarm provides compliant DeFi infrastructure for token issuance, liquidity and trading.
To shape a world in which everyone can benefit from financial opportunities
We empower people and institutions to take control of their wealth with our growing portfolio of unique investment opportunities. Launched in October 2021, Swarm aims to be the nucleus of a transparent financial culture that creates value for many.
We offer a secure environment, helping investors and companies overcome compliance barriers. Swarm operates in a regulated environment in Germany.
Build your wealth according to your preferences
We believe Web3 represents the intersection of culture and finance, lowering barriers to entry to a financial system where more people can build their wealth.
The ‘financialization of everything’ doesn’t mean everything is for sale but enables you to put your money where your heart is and invest in the assets, causes, people and companies that matter to you.
For the first time ever, you’ll be able to invest in crypto assets and tokenized securities in a single DeFi venue.
Swarm combines the innovation of DeFi with investor protection. Our trading and investing tools enable you to retain full control of the assets in your wallet, giving you direct access to capital and crypto markets 24/7, without paying for costly intermediaries.
