Main functions of the ERIR

Ensuring the integrity of emissions

ERIR is responsible for ensuring that tokenized securities records are accurate, immutable and aligned with applicable regulations. This includes overseeing that there are no undue alterations to the record chain and that all transactions comply with established legal and technical standards.

Registration and identification of security holders

One of the key roles of the ERIR is to maintain a complete and up-to-date register of the owners of tokenized securities and their associated rights. This register must be accessible to the relevant authorities and provide clarity in the event of ownership disputes.

Corporate event management

ERIR also manages events related to tokenized securities, such as dividend payments, rights issues, stock splits or any other event affecting the financial instruments. This role ensures that market participants receive the corresponding compensation or rights in an efficient and compliant manner.
