Instructions for buying share tokens via Brokerbot

Buy RealUnit share tokens in 4 steps

You can buy or sell share tokens directly from or to RealUnit Schweiz AG via the brokerbot of Aktionariat AG.  You will find important information about the company and the share token in the current prospectus and the associated prospectus supplements.

  • Read the registration agreement

    Please read the registration agreement carefully before purchasing RealUnit share tokens via Brokerbot. It contains details of your rights and obligations as a token holder. By acquiring, selling, holding and/or transferring company share tokens to a third party, you accept the terms of the Registration Agreement in full.

  • Set up a wallet (“digital custody account” for your share tokens)

    There are various wallet providers that can store our share tokens using the “ERC20” standard. We recommend the following two wallets:

1. «Aktionariat» Mobile App
Click on one of the following buttons to download the “Aktionariat” app from the app store of your choice:
2. «MetaMask»Desktop Wallet
Click on the following button to install the Metamask extension in your browser. The instructions also describe how you can link the Metamask wallet with the RealUnit token.
3. Hardware Wallet

Blockchain experts recommend using hardware wallets such as those from «Ledger» (https://www.ledger.com/de) or «Bitbox» (https://shiftcrypto.ch/de/) for the secure storage of larger sums. Ledger can be linked directly to the RealUnit token via Metamask. Bitbox still requires the Rabby browser extension.

4. Custody at HYPOTHEKARBANK LENZBURG – new!

You don’t want to store our share tokens yourself? Hypothekarbank Lenzburg (HBL), a regulated Swiss bank, offers private individuals resident in Switzerland professional custody of our share tokens. You can find the current conditions here.

If you opt for this custody solution, you do not need to register with us (step 3) and can select Hypothekarbank Lenzburg under “Connect Wallet” when purchasing the RealUnit share token (step 4), then link the bank account and open a “Digital Asset Portfolio” directly online. Click on the following logo to read the current conditions of Hypothekarbank Lenzburg:

Note on transaction costs and government levies

The acquisition or sale of share tokens is typically associated with blockchain transaction costs (esp. gas fee on Ethereum), which are generally borne by the buyer or the seller.

The amount of the gas fee on Ethereum can fluctuate greatly depending on the usage of the blockchain (the current gas fee can be seen here). Before confirming the transaction, your Wallet should also show you an estimate of the gas fee you are likely to be charged. If the gas fee is too high, we recommend that you execute the transaction at a later date.

RealUnit Schweiz AG will not charge you any additional fees, but reserves the right to charge you in the future for the accruing blockchain transaction costs and, if such apply, government levies (esp. turnover tax pursuant to the Federal Stamp Duty Act) when you purchase share tokens by bank transfer.

Questions about the RealUnit Token

A token is a unit on the blockchain. Our share tokens are registered shares as ledger-based securities on the Ethereum blockchain. As the owner of the RealUnit tokens, you have the same rights as the owner of traditional shares.

 

  • Access at any time, independent of banks
  • No costs for custody in your own wallet
  • Tradable 24/7
  • Transferable from wallet to wallet
  • Simple online registration for entry in the share register
  • High security thanks to the Ethereum blockchain and the recovery function if the private key is lost

 

For more information on the security of the stock tokens, please read the RealUnit registration agreement. Available at:

https://realunit.ch/ueber-uns/downloads/#registrierungsvereinbarung

No, because the issuer of the share tokens is RealUnit Schweiz AG, which means it is a centralized structure. Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that are stored in a decentralized database, usually a blockchain, and have no single/central issuer.

No, not in principle. The price of the share token is based on the intrinsic value (NAV) of RealUnit Schweiz AG. The NAV is the “net asset value” (= net asset value of the invested assets). We currently hold <1% of ETH, so it has a minimal impact on the NAV.

According to experts, the Ethereum blockchain is a very secure decentralized network. When you open your own wallet, you receive the private key. This is comparable to the password for your online banking. However, if someone steals your private key, they have access to your wallet. Likewise, if you lose your private key, you will no longer be able to access your wallet. Blockchain experts recommend using hardware wallets such as those from «Ledger» (https://www.ledger.com/de) or «Bitbox» (https://shiftcrypto.ch/de/) securely store larger amounts of money.

The purchase or sale of share tokens typically comes with blockchain transaction costs (especially “gas fees” on Ethereum), which are generally borne by the purchaser or seller.

The amount of the gas fee on Ethereum can vary greatly depending on the network utilization levels of the blockchain (the current gas fee can be seen here). Before initiating the transaction, your wallet should also show an estimate of the gas fee you are likely to be charged. If the gas fee is too high, we recommend that you carry out the transaction at a later time.

No, a conversion is not possible. However, you can sell your traditional shares on the stock exchange and buy share tokens for the equivalent in CHF via our automatic trading platform at https://realunit.ch/token-kaufen/#brokerbot.

The counterparty is RealUnit Schweiz AG. If you would like to trade share tokens worth more than CHF 100,000, please contact us in advance via info@realunit.ch or Tel. +41 41 761 00 90.

The share tokens can be stored in an Ethereum-enabled wallet. You can find instructions on how to set up a wallet at the following link.

Yes, the tokenized RealUnit registered shares must be declared as assets in the tax return. Any capital gains are generally tax-free for private individuals in Switzerland. You can find more detailed information on taxation here, in Circular No. 36 of the ESTV.
