About Chain-Enabled
Vertalo is an SEC-registered transfer agent. We've been doing this since 2019, managing cap tables and investor records for 100+ issuers and 100,000+ investors across the U.S., Mexico, Canada, the UK, EU, and Japan.
We built Chain-Enabled because the intersection of securities regulation and blockchain infrastructure is moving fast, and most of the coverage gets it wrong. Transfer agency, tokenization, and compliance aren't abstract concepts for us. They're what we do every day.
What we write about
The SEC's evolving stance on tokenized securities. How transfer agents fit into the on-chain future. Practical guidance for issuers navigating DLT, digital assets, and the 5 tokenization models the SEC outlined in January 2026. Real analysis from people who build the plumbing.
Who writes here
Dave Hendricks, CEO and co-founder of Vertalo, leads most of the writing. Kyle Brown (CTO) and the Vertalo team contribute on technical topics. We also feature guest perspectives from partners and industry practitioners.
