Building EquiTrack: rethinking institutional access to private markets

Private markets have never been larger — or harder to reach. We are building the infrastructure to change the access model, not just the asset.

By EquiTrack

The most consequential companies of the next decade are staying private for longer. For institutional allocators, that creates a structural problem: the exposure they want sits behind illiquidity, high minimums, long lock-ups and operational friction that direct positions rarely justify at the margin.

EquiTrack is being built to address the access model itself. Rather than another fund wrapper, we are constructing an institutional-grade protocol for synthetic, on-chain exposure to thematic baskets of privately held companies — issued, governed and reported by EquiTrack, and settled in USDC.

Why baskets, not single names

Concentration is the enemy of durable private-market exposure. Single positions carry idiosyncratic risk that few allocators want as a first expression of a thesis. Our six baskets — spanning artificial intelligence, energy, healthcare, infrastructure, media and aerospace — are designed to give diversified exposure to a sector, screened on a rules-based basis, instead of a bet on any one company.

Why on-chain

On-chain settlement is a means, not the message. It lets us deliver permissioned, programmable instruments with transparent net asset value and operational rails that are auditable by design. For institutions, the benefit is not novelty — it is cleaner operations, clearer reporting and distribution that is not tied to a single venue.

Where we are

We are deliberately building before we market. EquiTrack is pre-authorisation: we are establishing a regulated structure and intend to seek authorisation from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Nothing here is an offer or solicitation, and access will be limited to eligible institutional clients on a permissioned basis upon authorisation.

We are not trying to make private markets exciting. We are trying to make them accessible, operationally clean and reportable to an institutional standard.
