The hardest part of private markets is not getting access. It is what comes after, especially when a company goes from private to public. On WLTH you hold a Slice while a name like SpaceX is still private, claim to USDC, then swap into the public token in the same wallet. That is continuous company ownership, using ST0x rails for the public leg.
One of the biggest misconceptions about private markets is that the hardest part is getting access to great companies.
It isn't.
The hardest part is everything that comes after.
Private markets today are fragmented by design. Different brokers. Different custodians. Different legal structures. Manual administration. Long settlement times. High minimums. Endless paperwork. Even after you've invested, moving from one stage of a company's lifecycle to another often means starting again with entirely different infrastructure.
At WLTH, we've spent years removing those layers of friction. Tokenized ownership. Instant settlement. Automated administration. A consumer-grade experience for an asset class that has historically been anything but.
But while others are also trying to make private markets more accessible, there has been one problem nobody has truly solved.
How do you stay invested in the same company as it evolves from private to public?
Historically, that transition has been a cliff edge. Different markets. Different rails. Different providers. Different accounts. Different user experiences.
The ST0X integration changes that.
Together, WLTH and ST0X create what we believe is the first genuinely seamless private-to-public investment journey.
You discover a company. You invest while it's private. When it becomes public, you don't have to leave the ecosystem, rebuild your position elsewhere, or navigate entirely new infrastructure. The experience continues within the same platform.
That sounds simple.
But achieving that required connecting two worlds that have traditionally operated completely independently.
Here is the concrete path.
You hold a Slice of a still-private name like SpaceX. When a cash-out path exists, you claim that Slice to USDC inside the same app. Then you swap into the public token. The position stays in the same wallet.
Private first. Public after. Same rails. You do not open a new broker just because the company listed.
WLTH is using ST0x rails so tokenised equities can trade on Base versus USDC. The token is a contractual claim under an FMA-approved EU base prospectus. It is not a promise that the physical share sits in a vault in your name.

For investors, this means something much bigger than another integration announcement.
It means investing based on conviction rather than market structure.
It means following the companies you believe in throughout their entire lifecycle, instead of being forced to change platforms every time the company changes stage.
That's the vision.
Not just making private markets easier.
Making company ownership continuous.
We believe that's where investing is heading, and we're proud that WLTH and ST0X are building that future together.
A Slice is tokenised economic exposure, not direct equity in the target company. Tokenised equities can fall in value, including to zero. This is not financial advice. Read the product terms and the ST0x prospectus before you act.
