Global Settlement to launch GSX Identity after acquiring InvestReady, Accreditoken
Summary
Global Settlement Holdings is set to launch GSX Identity (GSX ID), a new decentralized identity platform designed for regulated digital asset settlement. This launch follows the acquisition of InvestReady and Accreditoken, combining their technologies to create an institutional-grade credential and compliance layer for banks, governments, and blockchain networks. GSX ID aims to enable institutions to transact on blockchains while adhering to regulations like MiCA and the FATF Travel Rule, offering a streamlined identity verification process that eliminates fragmented onboarding.
The platform will integrate InvestReady’s accredited investor verification with Accreditoken’s decentralized credential infrastructure, serving as the identity framework for Global Settlement’s blockchain and supporting third-party networks. The focus is on reusable on-chain credentials, policy enforcement, and enterprise-grade governance.
According to Ryan Kirkley, CEO of Global Settlement Holdings, GSX Identity is being built as a “trust layer” for compliant financial infrastructure, addressing the industry’s past oversight of compliance. Adrian Alvarez, CEO of InvestReady, will lead the new subsidiary, which is valued at over $10 million, with Ryan Kirkley serving as Chairman.
