No. Laplace clients’ asset holdings are not tradable in secondary markets at the moment.
We will notify our clients if any particular asset becomes tradable in secondary markets, their blockchain, and platforms that we approve.
At the moment, Laplace clients’ asset holdings are not transferable among users on the same platform or secondary markets. However, if a secondary market platform allows for listing of our products in the future, then our asset holdings may be transferrable.
We will notify our clients if/when this feature becomes available.
Laplace’s marketplace is not an OTC trading platform. Instead, all transactions and currency conversions are processed on a request-for-quote (RFQ) basis, offering clients an opportunity to make informed investment and selling decisions. Asset valuations are updated daily in Singapore Standard Time (SGT), with adjustments tailored to each asset class.
Our minimum investment typically starts at $10,000 USD (or its equivalent, or as stated on each token product, depending on the product, in accepted currencies). Each asset’s minimum is carefully determined based on our institutional-grade standards, ensuring that we offer the most reasonable and accessible entry points for all Laplace-issued tokens.
Once you’ve become an investor, you’ll have an easy-to-navigate dashboard access with details on your investments: invested amounts, fees, redemption amounts, token valuation, tokens received, and access to details of each investment product.
For more questions, you may also contact us at [email protected] . We aim to respond within 24-72 hours based on the priority and urgency of inquiries.
At the moment, all funds will be transferred directly from either your fiat account and/or cryptocurrency wallets outside of the platform. Investors will be provided the bank and crypto transfer instructions when they buy or sell products. Please stay tuned for updates!
Our ecosystem wallet is integrated to compliantly work with digital assets to enhance efficiency in investing.
Fiat – We do not offer a fiat wallet solution and therefore fiat may not be directly funded into the Laplace ecosystem wallet.
Crypto – Cryptocurrency deposits will come from your own private wallet and investors will be given instructions for transferring crypto.

Any potential fraud or irregular activity is immediately investigated, and appropriate actions are taken, including reporting to the relevant authorities if necessary.
Furthermore, we have robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes in place to verify the identity of our users and to prevent the platform from being used for illicit activities. These measures help us protect our users and maintain the integrity of the platform, ensuring that all transactions are conducted in a safe and compliant environment.
In cases where regulatory issues arise, Laplace works closely with legal and compliance experts to address and resolve the situation promptly, while ensuring full transparency with the affected parties and authorities.
