Issuance & Redemption Process

Issuance Process:

  • Midas Software GmbH is the tokenizing entity where assets are ring-fenced and bankruptcy-protected.

  • The security agent ATG Treuhand controls the assets for Midas Software GmbH and can liquidate and distribute assets if Midas Software GmbH defaults.

  • Investment is received by Midas Software GmbH in the form of fiat or stablecoins from the Arbitrum DAO.

  • If stablecoins other than USDC are transferred, a qualified on-offramp provider converts the funds to USDC.

  • The converted USDC is sent to Maerki Baumann, who then converts it to fiat.

  • Maerki Baumann uses the fiat proceeds to acquire and hold BlackRock-managed US Treasury ETFs.

  • After purchasing the ETFs, a value-equivalent quantity of mTBILL tokens is minted and sent to the investor’s wallet.

Redemption Process:

  • Maerki Baumann sells a value-equivalent quantity of ETF shares.

  • After the sale is complete, Maerki routes the funds to the applicable investors.

  • Midas charges no fees for the issuance, redemption, or management of the mTBILL token.
