NEW YORK, NY – July 21, 2025 – Douglas Borthwick, who helped execute the world’s first SEC-registered security token IPO, today released two groundbreaking books to help businesses leverage the newly signed GENIUS Act. “The Insumer Model” and “Your Equity in Your Pocket” offer practical strategies for customer-stakeholder tokenization in this evolving regulatory environment.
With President Trump signing the GENIUS Act – the first major U.S. cryptocurrency legislation – businesses gain clarity to transform customers into stakeholders via tokenized equity. Borthwick’s books provide the blueprint for Fortune 500 companies to implement this shift.
“The GENIUS Act eliminates barriers to mainstream customer tokenization,” said Borthwick, Founder of Skye Meta Corp. and co-host of “Old Men, New Money” podcast (13,000+ YouTube subscribers). “My books detail how to legally turn customers into ‘insumers’ through compliant tokenized securities.”
Borthwick’s credentials are unmatched: In 2020, he championed INX Digital’s SEC-registered IPO, raising $85 million from 7,200+ investors across 75 countries. With 30+ years at firms like Morgan Stanley and Yale MBA in Financial Engineering, he bridges traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
“The Insumer Model”: Turning Consumers into Stakeholders
This book introduces the “insumer” concept, where customers own equity stakes via tokens, replacing traditional loyalty programs. David Yana, former HR Director at Chanel and Google, writes: “Douglas’s SEC-registered token milestone democratizes ownership.”
Benefits include deeper loyalty, lower acquisition costs, community capital for growth, and enhanced feedback from invested customers.
“Your Equity in Your Pocket”: Implementation Guide
This tactical guide covers structuring compliant offerings, SEC navigation, token management technology, and stakeholder governance.
