“Can a fully SEC- and FINRA-regulated digital asset broker-dealer become the infrastructure layer connecting tokenized securities and crypto assets to mainstream Wall Street distribution via broker-dealers and RIAs?”
Founded in 2017, Prometheum set out to bridge traditional securities regulation and the digital asset economy by building SEC- and FINRA-registered market infrastructure for digital asset securities. The company operates an Alternative Trading System (Prometheum Ember ATS) and a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer/custodian (Prometheum Capital LLC), making it the first regulated full-lifecycle platform for digital asset securities in the US. By 2026, Prometheum pivoted from serving end investors directly to a B2B correspondent clearing model, targeting broker-dealers and RIAs as distribution partners for tokenized securities and crypto assets.
