What I like about Hyperledger is that it is almost an out-of-the-box solution that I can deploy. Though it does not have the exchange function element I had talked about, it is nonetheless a great ledger system.

For private equity firms or private investment firms this is a great tool for presenting investors with investment units to buy.

Equities market is another possible area. For example Berkshire Hathaway stock is way too expensive for anyone to buy. However fractional ownership of the stock is very much possible. A mixed basket of different equities is a great way to use Hyperledger. Think of it as a small closed-ended Mutual Fund that you operate.

Meher Roy has also been working on Hyperledger, and one of the possible usage he is studying is the ability to use it for RTGS (Real-time Gross Settlement System).

For crowd-funded investments, this makes a perfect system, and even more so for a closed-loop coin (or stored value) system.
